Code rarely does not work with no errors given

I have the following code, it’s for a keypad door, it works almost all the time however rarely some of the buttons that register key inputs don’t work and as such it does not work. No errors are printed when this happens and I don’t know why it does this

code:

local referance = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Important"):WaitForChild("SecurityRoomDoor"):WaitForChild('Code'):WaitForChild("Thing")

local db = false

local doorStatus = "Closed"

local screen = referance.Parent:WaitForChild("ScreenPart"):WaitForChild("SurfaceGui"):WaitForChild("TextLabel")
local confirm = referance.Parent:WaitForChild("Confirm")
local ProximityPrompt = referance.Parent:WaitForChild("PromptPart"):WaitForChild("CodePrompt")
local cameraPart = referance.Parent:WaitForChild("CameraPart")
local main = referance.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Main")
local insideButton = referance.Parent:WaitForChild("InsideButton")
local UIButton = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ExitCode"):WaitForChild("TextButton")
local camera

local oldCF

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local info = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.In, 0, false, 0)

local closePos = {51.526, 4.847, 18.676}
local openPos = {51.526, 11.959, 18.676}

local code = 9124

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	if db then return end
	db = true
	UIButton.Visible = true
	ProximityPrompt.Enabled = false
	camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
	oldCF = camera.CFrame
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	local tween = TS:Create(camera, info, {CFrame = cameraPart.CFrame})
	tween:Play()
	task.wait(1)
	db = false

is it possible for you to record a video of the problem happening? i think it would help others and i to understand/solve the problem.

Problem is I play the game like 20 times to test the code door. And it works 19 of the 20 times. As stated there are no errors and the bug is in that some of the keys from 1-9 which have the click detectors in them don’t register clicks. So you click on a key and only in the rare case that it breaks it doesn’t do the logic for handing the click.

#4

When you click on a button then it doesn’t work does it stay broken or starts working the next time you click.

#5

If it breaks it will remain broken until I leave the game and re run it

#6

You said you play like 20 times and maybe 1 time it doesn’t work.

Does it stop working during gameplay or does it not work at all on the 1 time it breaks?

#7

Only during gameplay. If I leave and re run the game it will start working again. I didn’t even know the bug existed for a while because it just worked up until it didn’t for the first time

#8

If it breaks randomly during gameplay then I am going to guess “db” has something to do with it.

I added a print command to your script to check the status of “db”.

Maybe try it out and see if you can see a moment where db is wrong:

local referance = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Important"):WaitForChild("SecurityRoomDoor"):WaitForChild('Code'):WaitForChild("Thing")

local db = false

local doorStatus = "Closed"

local screen = referance.Parent:WaitForChild("ScreenPart"):WaitForChild("SurfaceGui"):WaitForChild("TextLabel")
local confirm = referance.Parent:WaitForChild("Confirm")
local ProximityPrompt = referance.Parent:WaitForChild("PromptPart"):WaitForChild("CodePrompt")
local cameraPart = referance.Parent:WaitForChild("CameraPart")
local main = referance.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Main")
local insideButton = referance.Parent:WaitForChild("InsideButton")
local UIButton = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ExitCode"):WaitForChild("TextButton")
local camera
local debug = true

local oldCF

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local info = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.In, 0, false, 0)

local closePos = {51.526, 4.847, 18.676}
local openPos = {51.526, 11.959, 18.676}

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	if db then if debug then print("db return") end return end
	db = true

	oldCF = camera.CFrame
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

If it is breaking on load then I am going to guess one of the stacked :WaitForChild variables never actually loaded and is nil; causing a failure.
