You say that

im trying to make it so that if a player touches a lever the lever goes down and…

But you’re using a ClickDetector. ClickDetectors detect when the BasePart they’re parented to is clicked by a player. If you actually want to respond to a part being touched by a player, you need to Connect a function to the .Touched event of the relevant BasePart. For example, you might have a Part named “ToggleTrigger”. In that case, you can do something when a player touches it like so:

function onToggleTriggerTouched(touchingPart)
    local character = touchingPart.Parent --might not be a valid character
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) --if it's a valid character, the touching player is returned
    if player ~= nil then
        --do something
    end
end
toggleTrigger.Touched:Connect(onToggleTriggerTouched)

What issue are you seeing/what isn’t working the way you want? Is the lever not going down, is the curtain not going down, etc.?

nothing works

Okay, so one thing I’m noticing is that you’re using workspace.BlueCurtain to get the curtain, but the BlueCurtain part is actually in the same model as your opener lever.

for _, curtain in pairs(CURTAINS) do
	 for i = 1, 50 do
		Curtain.CFrame = Curtain.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0.2*(isOpen and -1 or 1),0)
		wait()
	end
end

In that loop you’re passing “curtain” as the value. But you are trying to change the CFrame of something called “Curtain” which is not mentioned in the script.
Try changing “Curtain” to “curtain” in that loop and see if it works.

Please see this video on how to debug your scripts. It is going to be much easier and faster for you to iterate by debugging stuff yourself for awhile before posting in the scripting support category.

In this case it looks like workspace.BlueCurtain should be workspace.Model.BlueCurtain. It is very likely that there is an error in the output window when you run the script in the original post that would allow you to figure out what is wrong with your script.
