It was a really nice tutorial, but I reccomend that, from like 1:15 when you are zooming in, you should show the number of lines in the left size, not just the code. But at all, it was really good :D

[@maquililo]

maybe some kind of object hunt? I'm making a game where I want the player to find some objects and take them to the place they belong. Also adding that when the player dies; he loses it, and if the player managed to take it where it had to go, the object "giver" or spawn should disappear as well.

[@messier82]

had be cool to have a pickup system like that one in alone in a dark house! And with the highlight would it be super cool!

[@messier82]

I would like to know how to do a spotlight that follows your camera (flashlight first person) I had the problem what is more of a pointlight and if you goes to near the wall your light disapear :/

LocalHighlighter script for the lazy = local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local mouse = player:GetMouse() local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService") mouse.Move:Connect(function() if not mouse.Target then script.Highlight.Adornee = nil return end if CollectionService:HasTag(mouse.Target,"Highlightable") script.Highlight.Adornee = mouse.Target return elseif CollectionService:HasTag(mouse.Target.Parent,"Highlightable") then script.Highlight.Adornee = mouse.Parent return end script.Highlight.Adornee = nil end)

[@coltbusters]

you forgot the "then" after "if CollectionService:HasTag(mouse.Target,"Highlightable")"

[@Alvra]

you also wrote the last part incorrectly, it should be "mouse.Target.Parent" (not mouse.Parent)

[@miro_theburger]

thanks dude, this really helped!. although i ended up using selectionbox instead of a hightlight because it wont let me hightlight transparent objects

[@ytcommenttraveler]

this was very helpful! thanks!

[@randomguy8092]

i like how i used this script because the click detector wasnt showing the mouse pointer thing, but the second i finished this script, the pointer started working not sure how it got fixed, but im still keeping the highlight

17:43:09.078 Highlight is not a valid member of LocalScript "Players.(PlayerName).PlayerScripts.CardHighlightScript" - Client - CardHighlightScript:15 -- line 15 (The PlayerName is my player btw) This is the error I get when I hover over the model. i have the full script and I copied and pasted into the local script in starter character scripts.

Hey, this works like a charm with single parts, but for some reason if I try to do it on a model it will not show up, even when printing the highlight’s adornee shows that the model is the adornee.

Solved: just put the script.Highlight.Adornee = nil at the end in an else statement.

does this work to highlight a ui

the highlight instance doesn't work on UIs, it only highlights game objects. You could make a custom UI highlighter function though that changes the border color to white or whatever color you want when you hover over a UI, maybe I'll add UI highlighting to the list of future tutorials

Why tf add more script that doesn't make any sense that u want show us how smart you are, Blush just use MouseHoverEnter:Connect(function() 💀💀

[@kthuludev]

you seem to misunderstand, in this tutorial i use collectionservice so players can easily tag what it is they want to be highlighted. I am aware of clickdetectors and the mousehoverenter function of them but that is not what I chose to use for the purposes of this video. For instance, what if you had some object in your game that had a click detector but you didn’t want it highlighted? using tags, we can make sure to only highlight objects we want highlighted. I don’t appreciate that you immediately jumped to the conclusion that i am trying to “show off how smart i am”. I don’t claim to be smart, in fact, i am very dumb, and make lots of mistakes when coding.

@@utbay6493 if i understand what you mean correctly, than it’s because using collection service is a faster & better performing way to do it. you can read through the documentation for CollectionService on the roblox create documentation online if you’d like to learn more about it, how it’s used, and when you should use it :)
