What's wrong with my script

[hearty folio]

** You are now Level 1! **

[fading gazelle]

HEY

[fringe spruce]

hey

[fading gazelle]

do you have a clickdetector in said cube?

[fringe spruce]

i dont know

[fading gazelle]

ok

i will help you step by step

[fringe spruce]

k

[fading gazelle]

what is the first variable?

[fringe spruce]

its naming the cube in the workspace part

[fading gazelle]

perfect

how about the second variable

[odd cloud]

There is so much wrong with this code, lol

[fringe spruce]

its getting the clickdetector in cube 4 and naming it clicked

[fading gazelle]

saying that isnt helping it

[fringe spruce]

srry im new

[fading gazelle]

so shut it

eggy ignore

[fringe spruce]

k

[fading gazelle]

ok perfect

is there a clickdetector in cube 4?

[odd cloud]

Shooting in the dark, my man

[fringe spruce]

would it be in the properties?

[fading gazelle]

no sir

a clickdetector is not included in a part

it is a seperate entity so you would see it in the workspace

[fringe spruce]

oh

[fading gazelle]

yup

[fringe spruce]

i understand

[fading gazelle]

perfect

do you know how to add clickdetector to the cube?

[fringe spruce]

yea i just click the plus and search click detector

[fading gazelle]

perfect

[odd cloud]

You've solved 1 of 3 immediate problems

[fading gazelle]

thats why your code got stuck

[odd cloud]

In total, you've solved 1 of 7 problems

[fading gazelle]

now make sure the name of that ClickDetector matches the one in the cube

since it's default it already does

[fringe spruce]

it works now but i need it to add 1 to the 0

[fading gazelle]

ok perfect

the way you are adding can work

so in the function you made

you did not reference "number" at all

wait im lying

you did

[fringe spruce]

when i collect the object its not adding one, whats wrong?

[fading gazelle]

Are there any errors in the output

also what is the variable "grabbed"?

@fringe spruce ?

[fringe spruce]

it says 16:32:36.397 Workspace.Cube.004.Script:10: attempt to call a string value - Server - Script:10

[hearty folio]

** You are now Level 2! **

[odd cloud]

@fringe spruce, do you know what a function is?

[fringe spruce]

i didnt know what i was supposed to put in the parentheses

[fading gazelle]

Ah okay

[fringe spruce]

a function like has something happen after preforming a action i think

[odd cloud]

In a broader sense, a function is a packaged piece of dormant, configurable code. Functions are often made to create reusable code

Arguments & parameters are what make functions configurable. The basic syntax is as follows:

local function name(parameter)
    -- ...
end

name(--[[Argument]])

Parameters act as placeholder variables within the function body. Think of it like holes where information needs to be provided. That information is provided when the function is called in the form of an argument (example 2)

local function printMessage(message)
    print(message)
end

printMessage("Hello, world!")

As you can see, a function is called upon by stating its name and following it with a pair of parentheses

name()

Here, you're attempting to call the "Text" property of a TextLabel

That property is not a function. It's a string:

[odd cloud]

Hence

[fading gazelle]

too much

newbie wont understand this

and thats fine

[odd cloud]

He's way out of his depth right now

[fringe spruce]

yea there is literally smoke coming out of my head

[odd cloud]

Good sign that you're in too deep

Continue to study the basics before attempting to implement game mechanics

[fading gazelle]

using functions?

lol

@fringe spruce i got you big dawg

basically

functions are just repeatable code you can put variables in to change later

[odd cloud]

This entire script. There's 7 total problems he would not understand

[fading gazelle]

yes there is

you just have to practice teaching friend

[odd cloud]

Variables
Datatypes
Arithmetic operators
If statements
Relational operators
Logical operators
Boolean logic
Scope
Loops
Functions
Arguments & parameters
Higher-order functions & callbacks
Tables
String library / miscellaneous operators
Task & coroutine library
Client-Server model
Events
Algorithms and data structures

@fringe spruce dm me this guy is trying to intimidate you

[odd cloud]

Learn these things before you start, @fringe spruce

[fringe spruce]

k

[odd cloud]

I'm tryna be real

You're gonna be at this for a while, and all for no real gain

He still needs to study these things explicitly

[ebon yew]

Start by modifying the player’s playergui instead of the starter gui

Use script.Parent instead of workspace.Part when its the Part’s parent

And there isn’t any ClickDetector in your part

Conclusion: learn the basics

[fringe spruce]

dude why are you and ziffix so mean like im trying my best

[ebon yew]

What are you talking about

I am not mean ?

I’m helping

But clearly you’re missing important basics, so that’s why I recommend learning them

So recommending someone to learn is mean ? How sensitive

Additionally, I’ve never said you were not doing your best

You just need to learn it’s fine

[fringe spruce]

ive learned the basics but i dont have good memory so i was just asking for extra help

[ebon yew]

The documentation is perfect to learn more stuff

In your case, the problem is the lack of practice

Practice what you learn until you remember it easily

[fringe spruce]

what do you think i was trying to do

[ebon yew]

Attempting to use a ClickDetector without knowing how to use it

[fringe spruce]

like i said, i dont have a good memory

[ebon yew]

And like I said, it’s just a lack of practice

Practicing will help

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/ClickDetector Read this

[fringe spruce]

i have memory loss dude just stop arguing with me

[ebon yew]

It’ll help

[ebon yew]

Practice

It’s not my problem anyways

Good luck fixing your system by getting demotivated and taking personally helping comments

People are so ungrateful

Denying your lack of practice by justifying it with memory loss won’t make you better

[fading gazelle]

So stfu

Get lost

Say something meaningful instead of responding

[ebon yew]

That’s what I did lmfao

[fading gazelle]

No you didn’t

[ebon yew]

Lmfao

[fading gazelle]

You’re talking to a wall

That’s not how you teach brother

[ebon yew]

I told him his errors, shared him a link to the doc and told what he needed to get better

[fading gazelle]

You’re not willing to sit and explain it

[ebon yew]

Because he is not willing to sit and learn and practice

[fading gazelle]

So don’t get offended when they don’t know where to start

Docs are confusing

[fading gazelle]

He is

[ebon yew]

So why would I waste my time trying to help if he doesn’t want to get better

[fading gazelle]

You just gotta bring that out of somebody

[ebon yew]

Sure bud

[ebon yew]

Then do it

[fading gazelle]

Dude I told him how to fix it slowly and he did it all on himself

[fading gazelle]

I’m at the like third arrow

[ebon yew]

peak of "MT. Stupid"

[fading gazelle]

See

You claim to be so good at teaching but you’re already stooping to insults

Just self reflect man

[ebon yew]

I don’t

[fading gazelle]

…

You did

It’s okay man

[ebon yew]

It’s not easy to teach, especially when the person you teach has no interest in investing time to get better

[ebon yew]

Just saying you ain’t better

Than me or Ziffix

[fading gazelle]

Well you’re also expecting them to get the same knowledge as you instantly

[fading gazelle]

I helped him fix it by asking questions

[ebon yew]

Nuh uh

[fading gazelle]

While you guys are sitting and degrading him

[ebon yew]

Just expecting them to take the time to practice

[fading gazelle]

We moved to dms and he fixed it and I didn’t give him any answers

[fading gazelle]

That’s the whole point of the help channel

[fading gazelle]

They’re coming here for help not to get told to practice lol

[ebon yew]

Yh, not denying your laziness

[fading gazelle]

insult once again

[ebon yew]

So what do you propose ?

[fading gazelle]

lol

[ebon yew]

To fix the script and say goodbye ?

[fading gazelle]

I don’t propose anything I already helped this fella and you didn’t

Good day

[ebon yew]

"Stfu"

Lmfao

[fading gazelle]

Not an insult

But I see what you mean

[ebon yew]

Still disrespectful

[fading gazelle]

You’re right

And I apologize that wasn’t right

[fading gazelle]

But refer to this message if you have any more concerns

[ebon yew]

And why isn’t the post marked as solved ?

[fading gazelle]

Refer to my previous message
