I have a Roblox Game in this game the time changes using the code on the Roblox Developer site(robloxdev.com) I have been making a door with two unions called "open" and "closed". I want the door to be open between 10 in the morning and 5 in the evening. However the door won't open and it's not even bringing up the print open/close when it is the right time.
This is my current code Note: The script is in the same model (called: Door) as the two unions.
while true do
if game.Lighting.ClockTime > 10 and game.Lighting.ClockTime < 17 then
--Open the door
print("open")
script.Parent.Closed.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.Closed.CanCollide = false
script.Parent.Open.Transparency = 0
script.Parent.Open.CanCollide = true
else
--Close the door
print("close")
script.Parent.Closed.Transparency = 0
script.Parent.Closed.CanCollide = true
script.Parent.Open.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.Open.CanCollide = false
end
end
Thank's for any help.
You should add wait inside the while loop.
while true do
if game.Lighting.ClockTime > 10 and game.Lighting.ClockTime < 17 then
--Open the door
print("open")
script.Parent.Closed.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.Closed.CanCollide = false
script.Parent.Open.Transparency = 0
script.Parent.Open.CanCollide = true
else
--Close the door
print("close")
script.Parent.Closed.Transparency = 0
script.Parent.Closed.CanCollide = true
script.Parent.Open.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.Open.CanCollide = false
end
wait(1) -- change this to whatever you want
end

Here's my local script placed into the starter gui. I need the sound to loop after 62 seconds.
game.Workspace.Sound.Play()
local sound = Instance.new("Sound", game.Workspace)
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://145294677"
sound.TimePosition = 0
sound:Play()
wait(62)
sound:Stop()
sound:Play()
Sound:Play() will reset the position to 0 or the last set value
local sound = Instance.new("Sound", game.Workspace)
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://145294677"
while true do
sound:Play()
wait(62)
end
And thanks in advance for your help!
I'm trying to implement in my game an highscore feature using "preferences" in Lua, but i'm missing something, here's my code:
local highscore_letta = system.getPreference( "app", "highscore", "number" )
-- if preference do not exist, create it and set it to 0 (first time playing the game)
if (highscore_letta == nil) then
local appPreferences =
{
highscore = "0"
}
system.setPreferences( "app", appPreferences )
end
-- if the score is higher than current highscore, update it with the new one
if (_G.player_score > highscore_letta) then
local appPreferences =
{
highscore = _G.player_score
}
system.setPreferences( "app", appPreferences )
end
After the player lose for the first time, the game crashes saying that it's comparing a null value in "highscore_letta".
After a second try, the game do not crashes, but it sticks with 0 and never update it at all.
Any advice? I can't figure out what i'm missing.
Thanks again!
Try
local highscore_letta = system.getPreference( "app", "highscore", "number" ) or 0
-- if the score is higher than current highscore, update it with the new one
if (_G.player_score > highscore_letta) then
local appPreferences =
{
highscore = _G.player_score
}
system.setPreferences( "app", appPreferences )
end
I am working on doing a health pack for Roblox for my game. the code is complete and it works perfectly, but I want the health pack itself to rotate slowly in a cool way so here is my code tell me what is wrong
local healthPack = script.Parent
local healAmount = 30
local cooldown = 5
local canHeal = true
local function handleTouch(otherPart)
local character = otherPart.Parent
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
if humanoid and canHeal then
if game.Workspace.Player1.Humanoid.Health == 100 then
print("You have enough health")
else
canHeal = false
game.Workspace.HealthPack.Transparency = .75
local currentHealth = humanoid.Health
local newHealth = currentHealth + healAmount
humanoid.Health = newHealth
wait(cooldown)
canHeal = true
game.Workspace.HealthPack.Transparency = 0
end
end
end
healthPack.Touched:connect(handleTouch)
while true do
local currentRotationX = game.Workspace.HealthPack.Rotation.X
--local currentRotationX = game.Workspace.HealthPack.Rotation.Y
local currentRotationZ = game.Workspace.HealthPack.Rotation.Z
game.Workspace.HealthPack.Rotation.X = currentRotationX + 10
--game.Workspace.HealthPack.Rotation.Y = currentRotationY + 10
game.Workspace.HealthPack.Rotation.Z = currentRotationZ + 10
wait(.5)
end
Try the following code. In order to rotate an object correctly (modifying the rotation property usually doesn't do the trick, it's similar to the position property, it conforms to collisions) you must use CFrame.
local x = 0
while true do
game.Workspace.HealthPack.CFrame = game.Workspace.HealthPack.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(x), 0)
x = x + 1
wait()
end
Fair disclaimer, I haven't worked with RBX.Lua in a while, so this might not be the best way to do it.
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Orientation += Vector3.new(0,0.2,0)
end)
you could change the y axis (or any other axis) of the part's orientation forever to rotate slowly with runService.Heartbeat (while True do loop but quicker for a smoother rotation).
I have a multi screen computers system. Once in a while, for a reason I don't understand, the dialog boxes are on the wrong monitor. For instance, I'll have a program running in monitor A and an OK box will open in monitor D. This is very frustrating.
I found a VBS script called "PositionDialogs.vbs" found here: https://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/scripts/
Const SNAP_TO_MONITOR = False 'set this to True to ensure dialogs aren't placed between two monitors
Const INTERVAL = 2 'number of seconds the script waits before enumerating open windows again
Set sys = CreateObject("UltraMon.System")
Set wnd = CreateObject("UltraMon.Window")
Set wndParent = CreateObject("UltraMon.Window")
'create the two maps used to store positioned windows
Set arrAdd = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set arrLookup = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Do While True
'enumerate all application windows
For Each w In wnd.GetAppWindows(True)
If w.HWndParent <> 0 Then
wndParent.HWnd = w.HWndParent
move = True
If arrLookup.Exists(w.HWnd) = True Then move = False
arrAdd.Add w.HWnd, 0
If move = True Then
If SNAP_TO_MONITOR = False Then
If w.Monitor <> wndParent.Monitor Then
w.Monitor = wndParent.Monitor
w.ApplyChanges 1 + 2 'WNDCHANGE_RESIZE_TO_FIT + WNDCHANGE_CLIP_TO_WORKSPACE
End If
Else
Set parentMon = sys.Monitors(wndParent.Monitor - 1)
parentLeft = parentMon.WorkLeft
parentTop = parentMon.WorkTop
parentRight = parentLeft + parentMon.WorkWidth
parentBottom = parentTop + parentMon.WorkHeight
dlgLeft = w.Left
dlgTop = w.Top
dlgRight = dlgLeft + w.Width
dlgBottom = dlgTop + w.Height
If dlgLeft < parentLeft Then
w.Left = parentLeft
ElseIf dlgRight > parentRight Then
w.Left = parentRight - w.Width
End If
If dlgTop < parentTop Then
w.Top = parentTop
ElseIf dlgBottom > parentBottom Then
w.Top = parentBottom - w.Height
End If
w.ApplyChanges 0
End If
End If
End If
Next
'swap maps, then clear arrAdd. this way we don't have entries for windows which no longer exist
Set temp = arrLookup
Set arrLookup = arrAdd
Set arrAdd = temp
Set temp = Nothing
arrAdd.RemoveAll
WScript.Sleep INTERVAL * 1000
Loop
that will move the dialog box to whatever monitor called it.
I have it running on Windows startup using a batch file, and it runs as a process. My problem is that the console window that shows doesn't go away unless I click the X to close it.
The bath files looks like this:
wscript PositionDialogs.vbs
exit
I assume there is something I can add to the script to make it close after it loads itself into memory? If so, what?
aschipf was correct.
I made the batch file
start PositionDialogs.vbs
exit
(used START instead of WSCRIPT) and it closed as expected, while the process still ran in task manager
I've a function and would like to call here each 2 seconds during 3 seconds.
I tried timer.performwithDelay() but it doesn't answer to my question.
Here is the function I want to call each 2 secondes during 3 seconds :
function FuelManage(event)
if lives > 0 and pressed==true then
lifeBar[lives].isVisible=false
lives = lives - 1
-- print( lifeBar[lives].x )
livesValue.text = string.format("%d", lives)
end
end
How can I use timer.performwithDelay(2000, callback, 1) to call my function FuelManage(event) ?
So it looks like what you are actually after is to start a few check 2 seconds from "now", for a duration of 3 seconds. You can schedule registering and unregistering for the enterFrame events. Using this will call your FuelManage function every time step during the period of interest:
function cancelCheckFuel(event)
Runtime:removeListener('enterFrame', FuelManager)
end
function FuelManage(event)
if lives > 0 and pressed==true then
lifeBar[lives].isVisible=false
lives = lives - 1
-- print( lifeBar[lives].x )
livesValue.text = string.format("%d", lives)
end
end
-- fuel management:
local startFuelCheckMS = 2000 -- start checking for fuel in 2 seconds
local fuelCheckDurationMS = 3000 -- check for 3 seconds
local stopFuelCheckMS = startFuelCheckMS + fuelCheckDurationMS
timer.performWithDelay(
startFuelCheckMS,
function() Runtime:addEventListener('enterFrame', FuelManager) end,
1)
timer.performWithDelay(
stopFuelCheckMS,
function() Runtime:removeEventListener('enterFrame', FuelManager) end,
1)
If this is too high frequency, then you'll want to use a timer, and keep track of time:
local fuelCheckDurationMS = 3000 -- check for 3 seconds
local timeBetweenChecksMS = 200 -- check every 200 ms
local totalCheckTimeMS = 0
local startedChecking = false
function FuelManage(event)
if lives > 0 and pressed==true then
lifeBar[lives].isVisible=false
lives = lives - 1
-- print( lifeBar[lives].x )
livesValue.text = string.format("%d", lives)
end
if totalCheckTimeMS < 3000 then
timer.performWithDelay(timeBetweenChecksMS, FuelManage, 1)
if startedChecking then
totalCheckTimeMS = totalCheckTimeMS + timeBetweenChecksMS
end
startedChecking = true
end
end
-- fuel management:
local startFuelCheckMS = 2000 -- start checking for fuel in 2 seconds
timer.performWithDelay(startFuelCheckMS, FuelManage, 1)
Set a timer inside a timer like this:
function FuelManage(event)
if lives > 0 and pressed==true then
lifeBar[lives].isVisible=false
lives = lives - 1
-- print( lifeBar[lives].x )
livesValue.text = string.format("%d", lives)
end
end
-- Main timer, called every 2 seconds
timer.performwithDelay(2000, function()
-- Sub-timer, called every second for 3 seconds
timer.performwithDelay(1000, FuelManage, 3)
end, 1)
Be careful though because the way it's setup know you will have an infinite number of timer running very soon... Since the first timer has a lower lifetime than the second one. So you might think if you would like to secure the second timer by making sure it's cancelled first before calling it again, this kind of thing.
