1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,470
All right, so today I'm going to make things happen with our part using a script.

2
00:00:04,470 --> 00:00:07,440
So I'm going to change the properties of this part using a script.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,550
That'll be pretty cool.

4
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:11,970
I'm using my first game from the last video because it's convenient.

5
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:16,080
You could use a fresh world, but go ahead and add a part and give it a unique name.

6
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:17,490
I just called it my part.

7
00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:20,580
Now I have this variable script under here from the last video.

8
00:00:20,580 --> 00:00:22,710
I'm going to disable it because we don't need it.

9
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:23,850
There we go.

10
00:00:23,850 --> 00:00:30,570
I'm going to go to the part, hit the plus, add a script KU Let's rename the script.

11
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:32,850
I'll call it Change It.

12
00:00:32,850 --> 00:00:37,800
I used a capital C and a capital I get some camel case in there.

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:38,970
That's what they call that.

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,680
I can get rid of this.

15
00:00:40,830 --> 00:00:45,780
And before I start scripting, I'm going to take a quick look at the world.

16
00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:47,460
Click on this part.

17
00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:51,570
I'm going to look at some of the properties I want to change, basically brick color.

18
00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:53,370
I want to change the color, right?

19
00:00:53,370 --> 00:00:59,220
You could do that automatically, but you can also do with a script and hit control Z to change it back.

20
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:02,310
I'm going to go down to transparency.

21
00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:04,770
That's another easy property to change.

22
00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:09,330
So transparency of zero means the part is opaque.

23
00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:12,090
You can't see through it 100%.

24
00:01:12,090 --> 00:01:14,790
Transparent is actually a one.

25
00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:18,030
So the scale is from 0 to 1.

26
00:01:18,030 --> 00:01:18,960
You can't see.

27
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:19,710
You can't see it.

28
00:01:19,710 --> 00:01:20,610
You can see right through it.

29
00:01:20,610 --> 00:01:23,040
You see the outline when you select it, but that's about it.

30
00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:26,400
Now, if you make it to, it's not going to be any more transparent.

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,410
The scale is 0 to 1.

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,160
All right, let's make it 0.8, which is 80%.

33
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:32,730
Right.

34
00:01:32,730 --> 00:01:34,920
80% of one is 0.8.

35
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:36,660
You can kind of see it.

36
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:39,240
That's like a little outline there.

37
00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:40,800
That's pretty cool.

38
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,050
Let's go back and change that.

39
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,350
Go to my part, change that transparency back to zero.

40
00:01:46,350 --> 00:01:48,210
And let's do that with a script.

41
00:01:48,780 --> 00:01:49,620
All right.

42
00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:50,850
Change it.

43
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,070
How do we get a variable?

44
00:01:53,070 --> 00:01:57,180
For our part, we need to store my part in a variable.

45
00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:00,420
Once you get that, you're well on your way.

46
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:05,340
Well, we know we have a scope modifier called local, and then we need a variable.

47
00:02:05,340 --> 00:02:06,810
We can call whatever we want.

48
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:08,670
I think I'll just call it part.

49
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,920
Now to get that part, we have the special word called script.

50
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:15,300
Script is cool.

51
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:17,520
It means this script.

52
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,320
It's the same in every script.

53
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,870
If you just say script, it means the script that you are actually typing in or running at the time.

54
00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:33,030
There's a property on script and actually on all game objects and you access a property with a dot called

55
00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:33,990
parent.

56
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:35,010
All right.

57
00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:39,660
So if we mean this script, we mean change it.

58
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:42,270
The parent is my part.

59
00:02:42,270 --> 00:02:44,730
You can kind of see that relationship, right?

60
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,560
A parent child relationship.

61
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,240
That's the parent my part.

62
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:54,180
Also, if you click change it and you look at parent, it says my part.

63
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:56,640
So it actually tells you these are the properties.

64
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,110
Cool.

65
00:02:58,110 --> 00:03:04,530
Now we have essentially right here a reference to my part.

66
00:03:04,530 --> 00:03:10,500
We're going to stick it in that variable and then we're going to see if we can print out the name.

67
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,840
My part, because that's his name.

68
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:21,960
So print the parts name is equal to and I'll just say part dot name.

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,820
Name is also a property of part if you go to my part.

70
00:03:28,070 --> 00:03:29,900
Name my part.

71
00:03:30,110 --> 00:03:31,970
It should print out my part.

72
00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:34,640
That's a go to view output.

73
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:38,840
And then we'll hit this little triangle thing to play it.

74
00:03:38,890 --> 00:03:40,190
Oh, look at that.

75
00:03:40,490 --> 00:03:42,470
The part's name is my part.

76
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:43,670
I'll make it a little bigger.

77
00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:45,080
There we go.

78
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:46,170
We got it.

79
00:03:46,190 --> 00:03:47,930
We got the name of that part.

80
00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:49,630
Cool.

81
00:03:50,220 --> 00:03:51,640
Now, what can we do with it?

82
00:03:51,660 --> 00:03:53,680
Let's change the transparency.

83
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,680
Let's make it a little bit invisible.

84
00:03:55,890 --> 00:03:57,900
But we want to see it when we go in the world.

85
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:00,780
We want to see it turn invisible.

86
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,240
I'm going to go well, partially invisible.

87
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,560
We still want to be able to see it.

88
00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:08,790
I'm going to go and do this weight function.

89
00:04:09,090 --> 00:04:10,620
It's a Roblox function.

90
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:14,520
It gives you a little bit of a of a definition of what it does.

91
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,890
It's going to yield the thread, actually.

92
00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:22,770
It's going to yield this script so that it doesn't run for this many seconds.

93
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,390
We'll say 6 seconds.

94
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:27,930
That'll give us enough time to get in the world and find the part.

95
00:04:28,590 --> 00:04:28,890
All right.

96
00:04:28,890 --> 00:04:29,760
So we're going to wait.

97
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,060
Everything else is running in the game.

98
00:04:31,060 --> 00:04:32,400
It's just yielding this script.

99
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:34,710
It's stopping, it's waiting.

100
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:40,200
And then after 6 seconds, we're going to say part dot transparency.

101
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:40,710
Look at that.

102
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:42,000
We've got IntelliSense.

103
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,760
That DOT is the property operator.

104
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,230
We can access the properties.

105
00:04:46,230 --> 00:04:52,340
When we hit a T, we get this IntelliSense that says, hey, what do you mean transparency, maybe?

106
00:04:52,350 --> 00:04:54,000
Oh, yeah, transparency.

107
00:04:54,540 --> 00:04:58,500
And now we could say, I don't know, 0.5.

108
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,580
Let's try that.

109
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,290
Go ahead and play it.

110
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:05,240
There's our part.

111
00:05:08,060 --> 00:05:08,900
Boom.

112
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,680
With that 50% transparency, you can kind of see through it.

113
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,530
Nice.

114
00:05:14,540 --> 00:05:19,430
Let's make it become less and less transparent over time.

115
00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:20,690
Now, we can't really blend it.

116
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,370
We don't know loops and stuff like that.

117
00:05:22,370 --> 00:05:26,720
We don't know a lot of cool gaming techniques, but we could do this manually.

118
00:05:26,750 --> 00:05:36,860
We could say, Wait one second, and then we'll say part transparency and maybe let's make it like point

119
00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:47,720
seven and then wait another second part dot transparency equals point nine.

120
00:05:47,750 --> 00:05:51,770
You might just see an outline of it very barely and you can make it one.

121
00:05:51,770 --> 00:05:53,180
So it's completely invisible.

122
00:05:53,180 --> 00:05:57,650
But I think what I'm going to do after another second is just make it opaque again.

123
00:05:57,770 --> 00:06:00,500
So do a T transparency.

124
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:03,690
Opaque is zero.

125
00:06:03,710 --> 00:06:04,850
Can't see through it.

126
00:06:05,330 --> 00:06:06,980
All right, let's try it.

127
00:06:10,750 --> 00:06:11,710
There's our part.

128
00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:18,640
Now it's turning very oh, you barely see it at point nine.

129
00:06:18,650 --> 00:06:19,390
That's pretty cool.

130
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,870
And then went back to opaque.

131
00:06:21,410 --> 00:06:22,410
Sweet.

132
00:06:22,430 --> 00:06:23,720
What else can we do?

133
00:06:24,380 --> 00:06:26,300
Anything in this list?

134
00:06:26,570 --> 00:06:30,800
And it's going to take a few videos to get through some of the cooler stuff, but I'm going to try and

135
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,660
go quickly so I don't bore you too much.

136
00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:35,180
Here's brick color, brick color and color.

137
00:06:35,210 --> 00:06:41,200
They work together, but brick color gives you names of colors like blue, right?

138
00:06:41,210 --> 00:06:43,730
Or green or lime green.

139
00:06:44,540 --> 00:06:45,530
This is a really blue.

140
00:06:45,530 --> 00:06:48,460
This is a really this is actually called really blue.

141
00:06:48,470 --> 00:06:49,010
Right.

142
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:49,880
All right.

143
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,530
Let's let's do that with code.

144
00:06:51,530 --> 00:06:54,380
Let's go ahead and make that control, Z.

145
00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:55,580
There you go.

146
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:57,560
Medium stone, gray control.

147
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,780
Z undoes things.

148
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,300
Let's go to change it after our little transparency experiment.

149
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:07,250
Let's wait another second.

150
00:07:07,610 --> 00:07:10,430
Let's change the brick color.

151
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:15,740
So if we say part B, ooh, look at that brick color.

152
00:07:15,890 --> 00:07:16,640
Cool.

153
00:07:16,850 --> 00:07:19,070
I'm going to click on it now.

154
00:07:19,070 --> 00:07:20,480
Brick color doesn't take a number.

155
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,340
Brick color takes a brick color.

156
00:07:22,340 --> 00:07:24,260
Just one of those things you got to know.

157
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:32,130
So we got a little bee there good that our IntelliSense gave us our bird color so we don't even have

158
00:07:32,130 --> 00:07:33,030
to know that much.

159
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,410
Let's do a dot and I will make that red.

160
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:46,110
So we have some pre defined functions for colors and I'm going to show you how to do another color because

161
00:07:47,790 --> 00:07:58,710
if we do part dot brick color, you will notice brick color only has oops, I need a dot a few of these

162
00:07:58,710 --> 00:08:00,120
predefined colors.

163
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,890
Not everything in the palette.

164
00:08:01,890 --> 00:08:09,750
You do have a palette object, but if you want like lime green, if we click on part, open that thing

165
00:08:09,750 --> 00:08:10,290
up.

166
00:08:10,410 --> 00:08:15,780
You see that lime green right there that is not part of the dot.

167
00:08:15,780 --> 00:08:18,900
And then with a function we need to make that special.

168
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:23,160
So we will do something called new, right?

169
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,350
It will instantiate a new color object and then we do the speech quotes.

170
00:08:28,380 --> 00:08:38,790
Now you can get everything in the palette lime green cool as wait another second, we'll do part and

171
00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:42,390
we have this other cool function in brick color.

172
00:08:42,570 --> 00:08:44,160
I know we haven't done functions yet.

173
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,210
Just trust me on it.

174
00:08:45,210 --> 00:08:47,100
We do this dot random.

175
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:50,970
We'll get a random color so it'll be different every time we run the game.

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:58,740
Well, by chance it could be the same two times in a row, but typically it's the different area.

177
00:08:58,770 --> 00:09:00,240
We're going to watch it turn invisible.

178
00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:02,910
Yeah.

179
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,730
There you go.

180
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:04,810
Cool.

181
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,320
Opaque red, lime green.

182
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,480
And then there's our random color.

183
00:09:10,570 --> 00:09:15,190
All right, so the next video, let's start changing sizes and possessions.

184
00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:16,840
That that'll be pretty cool, too.
