I am a new script creator. I am REALLY attempting to learn, my friend understand it MUCH better then I do. So usually she does the scripting on my games for me, but I can't get a hold of her recently and I need this script badly for my game. I know you guys don't give out the scripts, even some explanation would be awesome, heck. Does it even work?

What I Need:
You know those gear giver's? (usually the guns in war games)
Well I need a object the humanoid touches and it shows a GUI (I already have the GUI made)
I just don't know how to create an object to make the GUI appear on the screen...Other problem.
When the Humaniod gets a certain range from the giver (or the room) the GUI disappears. I have seen it happen.
Not sure if it can be done.
If you want more detail
PLEASE PM me I reply to all, and I could really use some help from you advanced scripter's!

do you have an understanding of geometry, and algebra?

Oh my gosh.. I think you need to take it slow, and learn what there is to know before you start stuff like this.
You'll need to know, events, methods, variables, functions, and how to set properties before you attempt any of this.

I am in Algebra I, I understand geometry better then anyone in my class.

My friend usually does this. I know this is to advanced for me, that's why I was hoping, even though it's kind of flexing the rules, for someone to post the script here. Or tell me who to go to.

enabled = true
SetCooldown = ### --- Insert the Cooldown over these hashtags.


function onTouched(part)
if not enabled then
return
end
enabled = false
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (h ~=nil) then
end
wait(0.03)
game.Lighting:findFirstChild("INSERT NAME OF TOOL HERE"):clone().Parent = game.Players:findFirstChild(part.Parent.Name).Backpack
script:findFirstChild("INSERT NAME OF THE GUI HERE!"):clone().Parent = game.Players:findFirstChild(part.Parent.Name).PlayerGui
wait(SetCooldown)
enabled = true
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

beforehand, you may want to do a few smaller scale demonstrations of these in order to get a proper understanding on what you're doing. Scripting isn't always putting strings of code together~it's also about connecting them in a logical way.




to tell distance between two blocks in studs:

(part1.Position - part2.Position).magnitude



to make a gui dissappear (also works on all guis' children):

PlayerGui.ScreenGui.GuiName.Active = false --true for visible, false is invisible.



to detect a brick being touched, hit being the part that touched it:

part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
--stuff
end)

Kesin, you don't need to slow down to make a GUI giver out of a Tool Giver.

You do if you want to learn anything.

well yeah, I know that. The magnitude thing however, I think it does. Since she is asking for it to disappear after the player walks away from the part the player's touched, I'd say it'd be best to take it slow.

I wish I only had more time to learn, really. Oh and I placed the script in about to test it....

The more you pointlessly test things, the more you get confused and forget things.
The more you test unimportant things, the more you get off-based.

I believe the Active property only covers mouse events, Visible is what you'd want.

^what he said

also, how is it pointless if it's for educating someone on something they admit they're bad in? Seems relevant to me.

I just don't have time, my parents see this as a video game. Not as a educational one. This could really help me with my Algabra, so I pass and when I get to high school I go to either advanced Algabra or geometry! Sorry to disipoint how dumb I am at scripting D:

The level of math you're in doesn't affect your scripting abilities. Sure, having backgrounds on certain math-related subjects would help, however, like how you learned them in school, you would just have to try learning it, but by yourself.

I will attempt. Maybe in the summer time, but believe it or not in NYC (my home) there is many scripting class's. Maybe not for Lua, but for scripting and computer science in general, might think about getting involved in that.
