Door not opening when message chatted

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a puzzle game, where there’s a riddle posted on a chalkboard, and when a player says the answer in chat, the door opens. When I tested it when the model was in workspace, it worked. But when I tested it from being cloned to workspace from ReplicatedStorage, it doesn’t work.

riddle = math.random(1, 10)
answer = "e"
if riddle == 1 then
	script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "I have 104 keys, but only 3 locks, only one enter and only one escape, and I have space but no room. What am I?"
	answer = "keyboard"
        --etc..
end

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local door = script.Parent.Parent.Door

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
		if string.sub(string.lower(msg), 1,8)==string.lower(answer) then
			door:Destroy()
		end
	end)
end)

This script is placed inside the chalkboard, which is inside the entire level.

#2

Not sure if this variable would be overlapping your PlayerAdded Event, try and remove that?

#3

Is your script a LocalScript or server script?

#4

A server script. The riddle will be for everyone playing.

#5 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local riddle = math.random(1, 10)
local answer = "e"

if riddle == 1 then
	script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "I have 104 keys, but only 3 locks, only one enter and only one escape, and I have space but no room. What am I?"
	answer = "keyboard"
        --etc..
end

local door = script.Parent.Parent.Door

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
		if string.sub(string.lower(msg), 1,#answer) == string.lower(answer) then
			door:Destroy()
		end
	end)
end)
#6

still not working. I’m not getting any errors at all.

#7

A little update, this entire thing is being cloned, if that helps. only the original’s door is working.

#8

Try referencing the script inside ServerScriptService, and put this instead:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local riddle = math.random(1, 10)
local answer = "e"
local door = --Position of door--
local Chalkboard = --Position of Chalkboard--

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
        local NewMsg = string.sub(string.lower(msg), 1, #answer)
        print(NewMsg)
		if NewMsg == string.lower(answer) then
			door:Destroy()
		end
	end)
end)

if riddle == 1 then
	script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.Text = "I have 104 keys, but only 3 locks, only one enter and only one escape, and I have space but no room. What am I?"
	answer = "keyboard"
        --etc..
end

What script inside ServerScriptService?

#10

That script, place it inside ServerScriptService instead & try out the debugging one I sent

#11

The game is going to shuffle the rooms, so I can’t be 100% accurate of where the door is.

#12

Ok parent it in the board then, but could you at least try the script and see what outputs backs…?
