Why won't this work

script.Parent.Anchored = true

function onClicked()
script.Parent.Transparency = .5
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
wait(3)
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
script.Parent.Transparency = 0
end

You need to add a conect line at the end. For that script it would be: script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)
Add that to the end and you should be good.

You forgot the clickdetector.

function OnClicked()
game:remove()
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect (OnClicked)

Give this to your best friend.

Well since this thread is already bumped I might as well ask. How long do you think it will be until lesson 3 is done?

Well written. I still don't understand some parts but at least I learned something.

smashbi121 · 2009-04-21 8:30 PM

Hey Bob, how about adding a tutorial on how something follows a mouse direction.

Like making a vehicle face where the mouse is facing or like a gun pointing at where the cursor is at without doing the "Button1Down " part(clicking).

I'm having troubles with such things relating to "Players" control.

Hmm, I'll think about doing it sometime this weekend. This week's too busy for me.

In the meantime, look here.

Yes I read and tried as hard to understand everything about the page but it didn't explain much about this:

Hit -- CFrame value
Target -- object value
X -- mouse's X position on the screen.
Y -- mouse's Y position on the screen.

bob10110 · 2009-04-22 6:34 AM

Hit -- think of that as where exactly that green disk would show up if you didn't have any tools selected.

Target -- the brick you're attempting to click. It acts quite similarly to a MouseDetector, if you've ever worked with those.

X/Y -- Don't bother yourself too much with these, there's little practical use for them.

Rennoc11 · 2009-06-27 3:31 PM

Its sad how i cant get past the first part,i pulled up the command tool bar,because i couldnt find where to type it i typed "print ("hello world")" and didnt do anything.

its official,i fail at scripting

bob10110 · 2009-06-27 4:18 PM

Hmm...actually, I should go try that myself. I never did do anything with the print() function in the Command line.
EDIT: Are you sure you have the Output window showing as well? That's the thing that print() uses to display messages.

In the meantime, I should have some pretty decent info up soon -- I'm here often enough that I might as well share a bit more of what I've learned. I'll definitely be mentioning "_G" -- if you're wondering what that is, check my Roblox blurb.

Thanks for making this simple scripting tutorial, anyways can you explain more of the "GetChildren" function.

I'm not sure if that really works on making a "Model" anchored using a script.

bob10110 · 2009-07-17 12:51 PM

Well, basically getChildren() creates a table of anything that's inside whatever you use the function (really, it's a "method" but I'll call it a function for simplicity). You can then manipulate the objects in this table individually.

Dang, I can never get around to this can I?
