Parameters Practice - Buttons

*Konten ini akan segera tersedia dalam bahasa pilihanmu.

Buttons can be used by players to unlock new areas, give points, and reveal treasure. Whenever a player touches a button, it should give some feedback to let players know it's being interacted with, like change colors or make sounds.

In this example, the button will be used to activate a bridge. When the button has been pressed, it'll turn green and players will be able to use the bridge. If the player hasn't pressed the button, they'll fall through the bridge when they try to walk on it.

Make a Bridge

Start off by setting up the bridge.

  1. Create an area in your game where players will need a bridge.

  2. Create a part for the bridge and rename it Bridge.

  3. Select the bridge, in the Properties window:

    • Change Transparency to .5. For Transparency, 0 is visible, 1 is invisible.
    • Check Anchor.
    • Uncheck CanCollide.

  4. Test the game, the bridge should be misty looking and people shouldn't be able to walk on it yet.

Create the Button

Now that the bridge is set up, create the button.

  1. Create a new part named Button.
  2. Change the button color to red.
  3. Anchor the button.
  4. Move the button so it's slightly floating and not touching anything. This is so to make sure the Touched event doesn't accidentally fire.

Making the Button Interactive

This time, instead of using the Touched event to create a trap, you'll use it to create a button that makes the bridge usable. To make the bridge collidable, use the code bridge.CanCollide = true within a custom function that runs when a player touches the button. You know everything else you need to complete the following steps.

Try to figure it out yourself before looking at the code solution.

  1. Insert a new script into the button named ActivateBridge.
  2. Delete Hello World.
  3. Create variables for the bridge and for the button.
  4. Create a local function that does the following the button is touched:
    • Prints "button touched".
    • Changes button's color from red to green when touched.
    • Changes bridge's transparency to 0 to make it visible.
    • Makes the bridge usable by using the code bridge.CanCollide = true
  5. Connect the function to the button's Touched event.
  6. Test the script and make sure the bridge appears when the button is touched.

Code Solution Below is one possible code solution

-- Insert this script into button

-- Turns the button green when something touches the button.



local button = script.Parent

local bridge = workspace.Bridge



local function buttonPressed()

	print("button touched")

	button.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 170, 0)

	bridge.Transparency = 0

	bridge.CanCollide = true

end



button.Touched:Connect(buttonPressed)

Troubleshooting Your Code

Issue: The bridge is already solid when the game starts. Make sure that the parts are Anchored and not touching anything. The parts might touch something, like terrain or another part, and cause the buttonPressed() function to fire accidentally.

Issue: You get an error in the Output Window saying: "Bridge is not a valid member of Workspace" Check the following:

  • The naming of your bridge. The bridge in your script must be named exactly like in the Explorer.
  • That part.Touched:Connect(buttonPressed) is outside the buttonPressed() function.

Optional Code Challenge

The script in this lesson can also be used to keep doors that keep players out of specific areas. Practice your coding skills and do the following:

  • Create a door part.
  • Create a button further away from the door.
  • Change the script in this lesson so it makes the door change transparency and so the player can't collide with it.

Your version might look something like this:

local button = script.Parent

-- Reminder: Replace the name of the part, Gate, with the one in your project

local gate = workspace.Gate



local function buttonPressed()

	print("button touched")

	-- Changes button to red to give player feedback

	button.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red() -- CHANGE THIS

	-- Make the gate invisible

	gate.Transparency = 1

	-- Makes it so the player can walk through the gate

	gate.CanCollide = false

end



button.Touched:Connect(buttonPressed)
