I want a Powerup like object to respawn 5 seconds after it has been picked up

[sharp finch]

I cant get this to work, its been 3 days 😭

[cunning mica]

did you try what i told you?

[leaden wing]

its just me? Bleeding my eyes, seeing not tab fixed

[sharp finch]

i dont know how that whould help, it can detect the tag, and the respawning works perfectly fine without the task. delay

but as soon as i try to somehow time that shit it all breaks

[jagged gale]

wheres the respawning part

[jagged gale]

real 🔥

[sharp finch]

i solved respawning with transparency = 1 and cancollide off

[jagged gale]

so this solved now?

[sharp finch]

no

[jagged gale]

you want it to come back after 5 seconds?

[sharp finch]

yea

[jagged gale]

sure

[sharp finch]

i cant do it 😭

[cunning mica]

in the other post that u have made, i told u to use CollectionService:GetInstanceAddedSignal

[sharp finch]

yes, i have no clue how that works

and why does it change anything?

[cunning mica]

cuz, u are using while true do, and that maybe cause some weird things

[sharp finch]

okay

and combine that with a for_,

[cunning mica]

no

[cunning mica]

delete all the while
and try
CollectionService:GetInstanceAddedSignal("Touched"):Connect(function(foodItem)
task.wait(5)
foodItem.Transparency = 0
foodItem.CanCollide = true
CollectionService:RemoveTag(foodItem, "Touched")

end)

[sharp finch]

that does work

but i dont understand it :(

[cunning mica]

alr

what u are doing with that

is waiting until CollectionService, receive the signal of something that u have add the tag "Touched"

the Connect i guess u know what is doing

[sharp finch]

yes

okay thanks

[jade plover]

it's quite simple really

Except for the Collection service part 😂 ✌️ i assume its getting the signal of something being added

[sharp finch]

So is GetInstanceAddedSignal the way to go to solve all of theese actions?

[cunning mica]

and when that happens, it gives you the direct object that was tagged, that's why you don't have to do the for _, ...

[jade plover]

and then waiting for 5 seconds, and making the part visible and can-collide and removing the touched tag

✌️

[jagged gale]

local food = workspace.FoodFolder.FoodObjecs
local cs = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local mult = 1
for _,food in food:GetChildren() do --pairs is so 2018
  food.Touched:Connect(function(part)
    local hum = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
    local touched = cs:HasTag(food, "Touched")
    if hum and plr and not touched then
      plr.leaderstats.JumpPower.Value += math.random(5,10) * mult
      cs:AddTag(food, "Touched")
      food.Transparency = 1
      food.CanCollide = false
      task.delay(5, function()
        food.Transparency = 0
        food.CanCollide = true
        cs:RemoveTag(food, "Touched") -- idk the method here, change it if it's wrong
      end)
    end
  end)
end

fully functional script

[cunning mica]

there is many i guess, literally yesterday I learned about the collection service

[jagged gale]

i never knew about collectionservice

[sharp finch]

sick, now i dont need a second script

[jagged gale]

if theres an error, feel free to change the variable names

[jade plover]

pairs is so 2018 💔

while im here using pairs and ipairs

aha

ahhha..

[jagged gale]

lol

[jade plover]

it's all about micro-performance kids!

aha

ahah

ok

[sharp finch]

so i should not use pairs?

[jagged gale]

yeah

[jade plover]

depends on you

both works either ways

🤷‍♂️

[winter talon]
