so i have been trying for literal hours to make the most Basic mechanic (this is my first time ever trying to script) and i can't figure out how to make the GUI image textures disappear depending on how many charges the player has !!
#beginner needs help with scripting gui !!
thick furnace
ok let me grab the scripts
the player has is given 3 charges of their ability at the start in this code
this is what's inside of StarterGUI and handles the white fill parts of the three star shaped charges on the screen
only problem is idk how to actually make the visiblity false
the original starburst script does have the attribrute
flat perch
use part.AttributeChanged to detect when the charge amount is increased or decreased
its pretty simple once u got it lmao
thick furnace
use part.AttributeChanged to detect when the charge amount is increased or decre...
my brian
brain
is Melted
i dont know where to even put that
or what "part" is supposed to be
flat perch
part is whatever the attribute is on
thick furnace
so the "starburst" script

** You are now Level 1! **
flat perch
and u would want to place the detection in the gui script
flat perch
outside of the function just do
part.AttributeChanged:Connect(setChargeAmountGUI)
i literally don't know what im doing
brazen mountainBOT
** You are now Level 12! **
flat perch
outside of the function just do
```lua
part.AttributeChanged:Connect(setChargeAm...
whenever an attribute on "part" is changed, it will send a signal to the function to start working
thick furnace
the part is a script though
thick furnace
well this isn't working
flat perch
but it just requires an instance
thick furnace
wait
flat perch
well this isn't working
put it below the function
thick furnace
its startercharacterscripts
not starterplayer whoops
ok it looks like this
i get no errors but the gui doesnt change
flat perch
look for the scripts in player.Character
thick furnace
the original attribute does change because when i tell it to print it prints the new attribute value
thick furnace
look for the scripts in player.Character
flat perch
any scripts that are in StarterCharacterScripts will need to be found on the actual character when u start ur game
same goes for starterplayerscripts
thick furnace
yeah?
well they're there
There aren’t any scripts in starterplayerscripts
I don’t even know what that’s for
flat perch
change ur "starburst" variable to be player.Character.Starburst.Starburst
thick furnace
Woah that did something
brazen mountainBOT
** You are now Level 2! **
thick furnace
i have the starburst gui to have only two of the white parts filled
now when i press Shift in game it fills to 3
but it wont go back down to 2 or 1
even though pressing shift once sets the attribute to 2
so if i set them all invisible, they become visible once the attribute changes
flat perch
it looks like in ur Starburst script ur only decreasing the charges
thick furnace
every press of shift uses one charge
flat perch
ahh
thick furnace
but this is not reflected in the gui for some reason
flat perch
so put local chargeamount = starburst:GetAttribute("chargeamount") inside of the "setChargeAmountGUI" function
at the top

for your first time every trying to script you are doing a really good job btw. i didnt learn about set and get attribute until i was scripting for over 6 months... i used boolValues and intValues for most of that time
thick furnace
that results in this error
thick furnace
for your first time every trying to script you are doing a really good job btw. ...
LOL thanks
these two scripts are actually the first ones ive written that i didn't just copy
thick furnace
so put ``local chargeamount = starburst:GetAttribute("chargeamount")`` inside of...
wait
i misunderstood you
flat perch
misunderstood 🙏
flat perch
coolio
thick furnace
omg thank you so much !!!!!
