ClickDetector Local Script Not Working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!
I’m trying to make a door that can be opened by clicking a lever.

I have 2 scripts inside my clickdetector
image
but only the server script works.

I’ve tried looking for answers on google, but nothing.

This is the localscript:

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local char = plr.Character
	print("clicked")
	char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.tp.CFrame
	print("tpd")
	local plranim = char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(char.LeverDoorOpen)
	plranim:Play()
	print("anim played")
end)

and this is the server script:

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	wait(1.433)
	game.TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent, TweenInfo.new(0.4, Enum.EasingStyle.Back, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {Position = Vector3.new(53.026, 3.561, 19.515)}):Play()
	wait(3)
	game.TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent, TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Back, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {Position = Vector3.new(53.026, 4.56, 19.515)}):Play()
end)

There aren’t any errors in the output either.

Of course, LocalScript don’t work on parts. I suggest putting the LocalScript on StarterPlayerScript and making a BindableEvent or RemoteEvent to communicate between ServerScript and LocalScript.

Local Scripts don’t run in workspace, if that’s where your ClickDetector is.

Yeah my local script is in workspace. Sorry, I didn’t know that. Thank you!

Alright! I’ll try that. Thanks!

For this you’ll need a RemoteEvent not a BindableEvent. RemoteEvents facilitate the communication between server scripts & local scripts & vice versa, whereas BindableEvents are used to allow for communication to occur between server scripts exclusively, in your case you have a local script & a server script which need to work in tandem.

Also, no one else has mentioned but “game.Players.LocalPlayer” is undefined in server scripts, in other words it doesn’t fetch the local player object.

I put the game.Players.LocalPlayer in the local script. Not the server script

– SERVER SCRIPT –

local replStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local partClickRemote = replStorage:WaitForChild("partClickRemote")

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player:WaitForChild("Character")
	character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.tp.CFrame
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local plranim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(character.LeverDoorOpen)
	plranim:Play()
	partClickRemote:FireClient(player)
end)

– LOCAL SCRIPT –

local replStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local partClickRemote = replStorage:WaitForChild("partClickRemote")

partClickRemote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
	wait(1.433)
	game.TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent, TweenInfo.new(0.4, Enum.EasingStyle.Back, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {Position = Vector3.new(53.026, 3.561, 19.515)}):Play()
	wait(3)
	game.TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent, TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Back, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {Position = Vector3.new(53.026, 4.56, 19.515)}):Play()
end)

Alright. Thank you for helping me out!

The local script will need to be moved for your use but this is how everything is organised.

Alright. I understand now. I’m pretty new to scripting so this remote event thingy got me really confused at first. But now I understand it. Thanks!
