I’ve been trying to turn this script into a client-based one so I can prevent people from trolling each other in my obby. Could anybody help me out?
local block = script.Parent
db = false
function onTouch()
if db == false then
db = true
for i = 1, 20 do
block.Transparency = i/20
wait(0.05)
end
block.CanCollide = false
wait(2)
block.CanCollide = true
block.Transparency = 0
db = false
end
end
block.Touched:connect(onTouch)
Just pass it to a LocalScript and add a conditional (if check) to require the touching part to be part of the LocalPlayer’s character
Alright I’ll change it to a LocalScript, though I really don’t know about the last part since it was from a tutorial and I’m fairly new to coding. How and where would I put the conditional segment?
Replace this line
function onTouch()
With this
function onTouch(part)
And put this line directly underneath
if part.Parent ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then return end
That will basically stop running the code if another user steps on it. Checking that it was actually you.
if db == false then
Do i remove this line or keep it?
Keep it. That line is making it so you can’t trigger it while it’s already running which would break things.
Alright mane much appreciated, have a blessed day/night and I thank y’all both for the help💯
Hate to bother, and I know I’ve already marked this as a solution. but I just tested the script in-game and the parts just don’t disappear at all now. There are no errors in the dev console, so could you or anyone else let me know if I did something wrong? Here’s the script, and the script is inside all individual parts as local scripts:
local block = script.Parent
db = false
function onTouch(part)
if part.Parent ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then return end
if db == false then
db = true
for i = 1, 20 do
block.Transparency = i/20
wait(0.05)
end
block.CanCollide = false
wait(2)
block.CanCollide = true
block.Transparency = 0
db = false
end
end
block.Touched:connect(onTouch),
Here’s a clip:
I can’t watch the video, but I don’t think that local scripts run in workspace usually. You can however put it in a script and set the RunContext property to ‘local’ or ‘client’ or whatever. That will make it look like a local script, but run in workspace.
Would you mind explaining how I would do that, and will I have to change every single local script back into a script?
You would probably have to change every single script back, also I noticed some parts that could be worked on in your code for the future.
for i = 1, 20 do
block.Transparency = i/20
wait(0.05)
end
Instead of using a for loop to change the transparency try using a tween instead, it will make it more smooth and polished.
wait(2)
Instead of wait try to use task.wait() as its more predictable and better in general.
And instead of making a script for every single stair, make a module, or assign a tag to the stair using CollectionService, and just make the script checks if it has that tag and make the stairs disappear.
This is how I would do it, but you do you I won’t stop you
Redoing all the local scripts into regular scripts now, so should they look like this? And I really don’t know how to implement the tween thing:
local block = script.Parent
db = false
function onTouch(part)
if part.Parent ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then return end
if db == false then
db = true
for i = 1, 20 do
block.Transparency = i/20
task.wait(0.05)
end
block.CanCollide = false
task.wait(2)
block.CanCollide = true
block.Transparency = 0
db = false
end
end
block.Touched:connect(onTouch)
Yeah they should look like that, Also look up some tweening guides on YouTube they will help you understand.
Appreciate it mane, I’m gonna change these and get some rest. Have a good one. 
Edit: It still doesn’t work, and that’s totally fine because I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe every obby doesn’t need a set of disappearing stairs. Much appreciation for the help though.
just create a script and set RunContext to Client, thats how you get scripts in workspace to run clientside
Yo Frost I’ve never thought about that because I’m a beginner. And I didn’t wanna touch anything because I thought something would mess up if I did. RunContext is in the properties tab right? And which of the scripts should I use? Should it be the original:
local block = script.Parent
db = false
function onTouch()
if db == false then
db = true
for i = 1, 20 do
block.Transparency = i/20
wait(0.05)
end
block.CanCollide = false
wait(2)
block.CanCollide = true
block.Transparency = 0
db = false
end
end
block.Touched:connect(onTouch)
Or the FusionOak one?:
local block = script.Parent
db = false
function onTouch(part)
if part.Parent ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then return end
if db == false then
db = true
for i = 1, 20 do
block.Transparency = i/20
task.wait(0.05)
end
block.CanCollide = false
task.wait(2)
block.CanCollide = true
block.Transparency = 0
db = false
end
end
block.Touched:connect(onTouch)
Here’s my version of your code:
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService") --//smoother change in transparency
local block = script.Parent --//dont put a script in every single part its bad practice(use collectionservice for every part)
local db = false --//make sure there is a local here(putting local defines its scope and it increases optimization)
local function onTouch() --// use local function(better practice)
if not db then --// you can say if not db
db = true
local t = TweenService:Create(block,TweenInfo.new(1),{Transparency = 1}):Play()
t.Completed:Wait()
block.CanCollide = false
task.wait(2) --// use the task library
block.CanCollide = true
block.Transparency = 0
db = false
end
end
block.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
Thank you for the TweenService script, though I’m not familiar with implementing CollectionService since I’m a beginner. I’m reading about it on the roblox creator hub reference page right now and it’s confusing. How would I attach every part to the single script?
I recommend you try out researching and finding tutorials. There are tons of stuff on youtube.
Much appreciated, have a lovely evening and God bless.
