0:00hey what's going on ladies and gentlemen
0:01hopefully having a great day in today's
0:02episode we are going to be going over
0:04how to create a cell location in your
0:06roblox simulator now as always if this
0:08video does help you guys out or you do
0:10enjoy it make sure you smash the like
0:11button also hit the subscribe button and
0:12turn this post notifications on if you
0:14want to be notified we'll upload more
0:15roblox development content additionally
0:16i do a patreon if you guys like to
0:18support me and gain access to all the
0:19scripts and the game file to make during
0:21this episode there's a link down below
0:22in description and you guys can go and
0:23check that out with that being said
0:25let's get into it so to show you guys
0:26what i actually mean by the cell
0:28location as we can see in eating
0:30simulator the simulator that we're
0:31recreating during the series they have a
0:33little cell location right here
0:34basically you can collect some food and
0:36then step on this part right here and
0:38then that will remove all of our food
0:39and give us some coins based off however
0:41much food we actually had additionally
0:43on the right side of our screen there's
0:44actually a little cell button which we
0:46can click on and that will teleport us
0:47directly onto the cell point as well so
0:49we'll be creating that too so going
0:51right into the studio and the project
0:52that we've been working on this entire
0:54time we can actually look inside of our
0:56workspace and we already have a folder
0:58called scriptable objects which contains
1:00the shop open and this is the part that
1:01whenever we step on this it actually
1:03displays the shop gy to us so what we're
1:05going to do is we're actually just going
1:06to duplicate this by selecting it and
1:08then hitting ctrl d and then we'll move
1:10it over a little bit just like that and
1:12then let's go ahead and rename this to
1:14cell and that'll indicate that this is
1:16the cell part now aesthetically you can
1:18create your cell part in many different
1:19ways what i find to be one of the
1:21easiest ways is going directly into the
1:23toolbox into the marketplace and make
1:24sure you're searching for models and
1:26then just search up cell now once you do
1:28that you'll see a bunch of different
1:29cell models pop up and you could choose
1:31any one of these i'm just gonna select
1:32the first one that i find and no we're
1:34not actually going to use the cell model
1:36what i'm really trying to find is a
1:37decal and what i want the decal for is
1:39actually for this specific circle so if
1:41we delete it we can see the circle goes
1:43away so that's what this person is
1:44actually using to create this little
1:46circle right here they're using a
1:48specific texture and they set the color
1:49to yellow so you could even have it a
1:51different color if you wanted to and
1:52then because of the specific texture is
1:54a circle exactly as we see right now we
1:56can put that onto any part that we want
1:58and then that'll give us the little
1:59circle effect that we're looking for
2:00i'll have this decal link in the
2:02description down below just in case
2:03you're unable to find the specific model
2:05in the toolbox you guys can go down
2:06there if you want to use this exact
2:08texture go back inside of the original
2:10cell part that we had add in a decal and
2:12then just go ahead and use that same
2:14specific texture now we're going to want
2:15to make sure that the face is actually
2:17on the top it also depends on how your
2:20part is laid out you could have this
2:21part upside down and then at the top
2:23might actually be the bottom but if you
2:24actually click on the face and change
2:26the face depending on where you move
2:27your mouse cursor that'll automatically
2:29adjust the face for you you could really
2:31just click the specific side that you
2:32want it on so we now have the decal on
2:34there we now want to adjust the color
2:35decide whatever color you want to we're
2:37just going to go with the yellow so i'm
2:38going to click yellow hit okay and now
2:40we're pretty much all good for that the
2:41next thing that we want to do is we want
2:42to actually add the cell text that we
2:44see on this part that we added in over
2:46here and we want to add that directly to
2:48our part as well so what we're going to
2:49do is we are going to get a billboard
2:51gui and then inside of the billboard gy
2:53we are going to get a text label now
2:55let's go ahead and make a few
2:56adjustments to the text label the text
2:57is going to be cell in all caps the text
3:00will also be scaled the color of the
3:02text is going to be a yellow so a yellow
3:06the background is going to be fully
3:07transparent and then we're also going to
3:08make the stroke not transparent so we
3:11see it just like that and now that's
3:12already pretty close we just need to
3:13make a couple more adjustments so we
3:15want to set the billboard g wide always
3:16on top so that we always see the
3:18billboard gui and it's not hidden by
3:19other parts now what we're going to do
3:21is inside of the billboard gui we want
3:23to actually adjust the size so we're
3:25going to first start by setting it to 1
3:26comma 0 comma 1 comma 0. that'll set it
3:29to 100 of the width and the height then
3:31we also want to do the same with the
3:32text labels so inside of here we're
3:34gonna say size we're gonna set it to one
3:36comma zero comma one comma zero and now
3:38it is pretty small so what we're gonna
3:39do is back inside of the billboard gui
3:41we're going to continue adjusting the
3:43size until we find something that we
3:44like we'll try two in the x and that
3:46still seems a little bit small i think
3:48we want it to be a little bit larger so
3:49we could go with three three and then
3:51let's adjust the y to two i think that's
3:54still slightly too small so we'll go
3:56with 3.5 and 2.5 okay i think that's
4:00good i'm not entirely sure if that's
4:03great size you guys can kind of judge
4:04that for yourself additionally back
4:06instead of the text label let's go to
4:07the font and my favorite font my go-to
4:09font is always the gotham you guys
4:11probably already know that we're going
4:12to go with gotham semi-bold i think that
4:14looks pretty decent now back inside of
4:16the billboard gui let's go to the offset
4:18and what we're gonna look for
4:19specifically is the studs offset and
4:21that'll basically reposition this around
4:23the part depending on what offset we
4:25actually give it so we probably want to
4:26adjust this to either one which yeah i
4:28think we're gonna probably want like a
4:31two i think that looks good because
4:32remember we want this to be above the
4:34yellow circle we're not really caring so
4:36much about the part and while we're
4:37talking about that let's go back to the
4:39part and change the transparency to one
4:41so now that becomes completely invisible
4:43and with all that being said i think
4:44that looks pretty good it looks like how
4:46theirs looked at least or at least very
4:48similar the final thing that we want to
4:50do is go back inside of the billboard
4:51gui and change the max distance to
4:54something probably like 50 maybe it
4:56really depends what that means is if we
4:58get 50 studs away from that billboard gy
5:01this will no longer be displayed to us
5:03so if you want them to see it from
5:04further away you can make it a hundred i
5:06would not recommend leaving it at
5:07infinite though because they could
5:09literally see it all the way across the
5:10map and that's probably not what you
5:12want to do also i'd recommend that you
5:13change your current viewport to
5:15something like the iphone or something
5:16like that just to verify that it does
5:18look good on all the different devices
5:20and it does look fine on mobile as well
5:21so we don't have to even worry about
5:23that the last thing that we want to do
5:24is we want to position this part so as
5:26we can see there is a shadow below the
5:28circle and it doesn't look like the
5:29circle is actually on the ground it
5:31looks like it's floating which is
5:33probably not something that we want and
5:34we can see with this part this part is
5:36in the ground so what we can do is we
5:38can just move this like that and that
5:41will be good and one thing to consider
5:43is remember the way that this is going
5:44to be set up when we script it is
5:46whenever the player touches this
5:47specific part they will sell all their
5:50current food and receive coins because
5:52of what we just did which we basically
5:53lowered the part almost entirely into
5:56the ground you could experience certain
5:58issues like the player not touching this
6:00specific part because of how low to the
6:02ground it actually is and that could
6:03cause some issues for our script to not
6:05get triggered an alternative that we can
6:07do which is really simple is duplicate
6:09this part put this part inside of the
6:11same part delete the decal on the main
6:13part which is holding this one and then
6:15we can just rename this one like fake
6:17for example and then we're gonna remove
6:18the billboard gui and now we're gonna do
6:21is move the fake part up right so this
6:24part is going to be above the ground and
6:26then the fake one which is inside of our
6:28main part is gonna be down here so there
6:31we go so now when we set up our script
6:32we're gonna set it up so the player
6:34touches this specific part and if you're
6:36not exactly understanding let's look at
6:38it this way this part is completely
6:40above the ground right so anybody can
6:42easily walk onto this part let's go
6:44ahead and make that transparent again
6:45and then let's make this one not
6:47transparent so now when we see this one
6:49this one's entirely in the ground where
6:50you could possibly run into issues of
6:52the player not being able to touch it
6:54because it's so far or so close to being
6:56completely through the ground so what we
6:58did is we basically created a fake part
7:00which just holds the decal to display
7:02the specific circle and that's inside of
7:04the part that we're using to basically
7:05track the player's touch and then also
7:07depending on how you feel if you think
7:09that the billboard gui seems to be a
7:10little bit too far above the circle now
7:12you could also parent that to the fake
7:14part as well so now the billboard gui's
7:16positioning is based off of this
7:17specific part which of course is lower
7:19than the cell part and we're now pretty
7:20much done with creating this part if you
7:22did want to be a little bit more
7:23creative and add more effects to the
7:25specific part what you could do is you
7:26could add either a particle emitter or
7:28one of the lighting objects to make it a
7:30little bit more cool or make it stand
7:32out a little bit more realistically this
7:33tutorial is mostly made to show you how
7:35to do the scripting and stuff like that
7:36but if you guys want to get more
7:37creative and play around with these
7:38different things you guys certainly can
7:40with all that being said we are now
7:41going to delete the part that we
7:43originally brought into our game now
7:44scripting this is rather simple because
7:46we already did something like that for
7:48the shop open so what we're gonna do is
7:50go inside of the server script service
7:51look inside of the scriptable object
7:53script that we already have and we can
7:54see that we made the shop open right
7:56here what we're gonna do is we're simply
7:58going to copy and paste this and if you
8:00guys haven't watched this episode i'll
8:01quickly explain exactly what we're doing
8:03inside of the workspace we're literally
8:04looking for the scriptable objects
8:06folder which is this folder right here
8:07so when we get the photo we look for the
8:09shop open part and then we use the
8:10touched event and connect that to a
8:12function right here every time this part
8:14is touched it's going to pass us the
8:15part which touched it and then we're
8:17going to get the player from that
8:18specific parts parent and then we use
8:20the get player from character function
8:22to get the player from the character
8:23which the character should be the parts
8:25parent that touched this specific part
8:27if we do get the player then we call the
8:28shop open remote and we fire that to the
8:30player and then we also print that it
8:32did work so that's exactly what we do
8:33with the shop open part i'm going to
8:35remove that print statement and what
8:36we're going to do this time is instead
8:37of the shop open we're going to use the
8:39cell part so scriptable objects folder
8:41and then this time the cell part we're
8:42going to use the same exact function as
8:44the get player and then if player we
8:46actually want to reward them a specific
8:47amount of coins we want to get the
8:48rewards module script that we made a
8:50couple episodes ago so what we're going
8:51to do is we're going to say local server
8:53script service equals game get service
8:57server script service just like that and
8:59then local rewards equals require
9:03service script service dot utils dot
9:05rewards now we got the rewards module
9:07and we're then going to say rewards dot
9:09coins because we want to give the player
9:11coins and we are going to pass through
9:13the player the amount of coins that we
9:14want to give the player is based off of
9:16how much food that they have oh and it
9:18looks like we slightly messed up the
9:19name in the rewards so there we go
9:21that's all fixed now so the amount of
9:22coins that we want to reward the player
9:23is based off how much food we have so to
9:25get their food we're going to say
9:29player.leaderstats.food.value and that's
9:30going to return the current amount of
9:32food that they actually have and now we
9:33got to decide do we want to use their
9:35coin multiplier i think the coin
9:36multiplier can be acquired from
9:38different ranks and probably the pet
9:40system this is entirely up to you though
9:42based on your game do you want to use
9:43the coin multiplier or do you not want
9:45to use the coin multiplier we are going
9:47to say that we do want to use the coin
9:48multiplier and then the last thing that
9:50we want to do is we want to set the
9:52player's current food value so we're
9:53going to copy this and then we're going
9:55to set the player's current food value
9:57to zero because we want to reset the
9:58amount of food that they currently have
10:00and then of course we're not going to
10:01use this remote so we're going to go
10:02ahead and delete that and now that
10:04should be all good also make sure that
10:05you reset the player's food after
10:07rewarding them the coins because we need
10:08that number to specifically reward the
10:10player with that amount of coins so
10:12let's go ahead start up our game and see
10:14if this works so we're gonna go ahead
10:15and get some food we now have 10 food
10:17walk over to the sell point and now we
10:18see we actually just got some coins so
10:20let's do it again and now the coins have
10:22been added to our balance and that works
10:24exactly as it should perfect we might be
10:26able to optimize this function a little
10:28bit more so what we could do is we can
10:29create a variable inside of here saying
10:31food and then we can set that to this
10:33value right here and then what we can do
10:35is we can say if food is greater than
10:37zero then and now we'll only call this
10:39function if the player actually has food
10:41to sell and then instead of getting the
10:43value this way we could just say food
10:45because now we know how much food they
10:46exactly have so the cell part is
10:48completely set up at this point we're
10:50all done with that what we're now gonna
10:51do is set up the little cell button in
10:53the gui go into the starter gy we're
10:55just gonna duplicate the currency gui
10:57and rename this two buttons for now we
11:00might adjust it to the future let's now
11:01go inside of the currency holder and
11:04we're actually just gonna go ahead and
11:06grab the purchase button out of here so
11:08i'm just gonna move that and put that
11:09into the currency holder we can go ahead
11:11and then delete the coins and the food
11:13let's also go inside the currency holder
11:14and change the background transparency
11:16property to zero so that we could easily
11:18move this across our screen because
11:21that's exactly where we want it and now
11:22they have it lined up on the right side
11:24of their screen slightly off of the side
11:28so i would say probably something like
11:30that their buttons are also relatively
11:32small so we probably want to adjust it
11:35to i'd say about that size that's pretty
11:37good we'll also rename purchase to sell
11:40and then we want to adjust the size to
11:44maybe one comma zero comma point five
11:47comma zero that's a decent size i'm not
11:50gonna lie so then we'll make the
11:51background transparency of the currency
11:53holder one so that it's invisible and
11:55that looks pretty good we don't want to
11:56change the text on the cell button to
11:59sell in all caps and now i'd say that
12:01looks nearly identical to how they have
12:03it set up what we can then do is we can
12:05duplicate this one time and we can
12:06change the text from cell to go small
12:09and that's their second button that they
12:10have and that looks pretty good because
12:12we still have the ui list layout right
12:14there so in the future when we do add
12:15the go small functionality and then also
12:17the shop the codes and all the other
12:19buttons that they have there we can most
12:20likely just add it to this gui right
12:22here and we shouldn't have any issues
12:24we're not going to actually add the
12:25ghost small button yet just because
12:26we're simply not going to use it we'll
12:28add that in the future when we do add
12:29the functionality though let's then
12:30rename the currency holder to button
12:32holder and there we go we can then open
12:35up the manager script right here and
12:36then what we want to do is we want to
12:37rename the currency gui from currency
12:40gui to button gui and then we no longer
12:43have the currency holder we now have the
12:44button holder so we want to rename this
12:47as well from currency to button holder
12:50and now we only have one button which
12:52the button is called sell so we're gonna
12:54find cell inside of the bun holder frame
12:56and we'll rename the food frame to sell
13:00button and then we can delete this and
13:01we can pretty much delete all of this as
13:03well then what we can do is we can say
13:05cell bun dot mouse button one click
13:07colon connect function and now we got to
13:09decide what we want to do when we click
13:11this button so what we want to happen is
13:12we want to teleport the player directly
13:14to the cell location now the way that we
13:16actually do this is by getting the
13:18workspace so we're going to say local
13:19workspace equals game get service
13:22workspace and then using the workspace
13:24we want to locate the cell part that we
13:26have right inside of here now the way
13:27that we can do that is by saying local
13:30cell part equals workspace wait for
13:33child scriptable objects another wait
13:35for child cell and then that will give
13:37us the cell part now inside of the mouse
13:39button one click function what we want
13:41to do is we want to say local character
13:43equals player dot character and then we
13:45want to check if we found the character
13:47we then want to do character set primary
13:50part c frame which basically the
13:51character is a model and each model can
13:54have a primary part and the default
13:56characters always have a primary part
13:57set for them and then what we're doing
13:59with the c frame is the c frame is
14:01actually the positioning of the player's
14:03character so we're basically teleporting
14:04the player's character to specific
14:06coordinates so we're going to use the
14:07set primary part c frame method and then
14:10we're going to provide the c frame and
14:11to get the c frame what we're going to
14:12do is we're going to use the cell part
14:14so we're going to say cellpart.c frame
14:16and that's going to give us the c frame
14:17for exactly where the cell part at which
14:19is basically the location of the cell
14:21part and now before we test this what we
14:22can do is we can just go ahead and add
14:24in a quick print statement so we're just
14:26going to say print true and print true i
14:28like to do this when i'm testing out new
14:30code because if there are some issues in
14:31here like because for some reason maybe
14:33this function isn't teleporting us at
14:34all so this will easily allow for us to
14:36identify if the function is actually
14:38getting to this method call right here
14:39or say it's stopping right here because
14:41we didn't find the player's character i
14:43believe that this function that we have
14:44set up right now is basically completely
14:46guaranteed to work so realistically this
14:47debugging isn't required but i think
14:49it's really good to show you guys what i
14:51do sometimes because it might help you
14:52guys in the future anyways we're then
14:54going to start our game and see if this
14:55works so we have the cell button on the
14:57right side of our screen let's go ahead
14:58and click it and we see we just got
14:59teleported directly to the cell part
15:01let's go ahead and click a few times get
15:03some food click the sub button and we
15:04see we just got teleported to the saw
15:06part so that works exactly as it should
15:08so this works perfectly the last thing
15:10that we want to do is we want to
15:11actually add a cool down to using the
15:12cell button let's go ahead and remove
15:14these print statements right here and
15:16what we can do is we'll create another
15:18variable called cooldown equals false at
15:20the top of this function we're going to
15:21say if cooldown equals true then return
15:25end and what this means is that if the
15:27cooldown is set to true it's going to
15:29stop running the function and it's not
15:30going to go down to here at all so this
15:32function will only run if cooldown
15:34equals false let's actually rename this
15:36variable from cooldown to on cooldown
15:38because that might make it a little bit
15:40easier to understand so now we want to
15:41do is whenever we actually teleport the
15:43player we want to set on cooldown to
15:45true to prevent the player from using
15:47this once again and then after we
15:48teleport the player what we then want to
15:50do is we want to say task.wait three
15:52seconds because that's the cooldown and
15:54then once these three seconds are up
15:56we're gonna set cooldown back to false
15:58so that the player is no longer on
16:00cooldown so let's go ahead and start
16:01this up and see if it works so let's
16:03click the button we can see that we got
16:04teleported let's try to click it again
16:06it's not working but then after the
16:08three seconds is up it works once again
16:10so we're doing the same thing and that
16:11works exactly as it should the last
16:13thing that we want to do is want to
16:14actually adjust the button to display
16:16how many seconds the player has to wait
16:17before the cooldown expires so what
16:19we're going to do is we are going to
16:21remove the test.wait and we're going to
16:22create a new variable called cooldown
16:24and that's going to be equal to 3
16:25because we want the cooldown to be three
16:27seconds then we're going to create a
16:28while loop so we're going to say while
16:29cooldown is greater than zero and what
16:31we're actually going to do is we're
16:32going to say selbon.txt
16:35equals cooldown so this will change the
16:37cell bonds text to the actual cooldown
16:39then at the bottom we want to say
16:40task.wait one so that'll wait one second
16:43each time we loop through and then we
16:44want to say cooldown minus equals one so
16:47that we subtract one from the cooldown
16:48every single time this loop goes through
16:50and then the final thing that we want to
16:52do is we want to change the cell bun.txt
16:54after the cooldown expires to sell once
16:56again so let's go ahead and start our
16:58game and test this out so let's hit the
16:59sell button three
17:01two one
17:02sell so now we're able to sell again and
17:04let's see let's make sure that it's all
17:05working properly and it looks to be and
17:07yeah that works exactly as how it should
