FilterEnabled and parts

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
,
#1

To be honest, I had no clue where this topic would go. Either scripting or building but this seems more of a studio scripting problem.

So I did a little research on Roblox and Devforum on Filter Enabled and it was depreciated.

I am currently trying to make a system where you touch a part and if you have enough money, the part’s CanCollide is turned off and the player can go through but I don’t want other players to see the same thing.

How can I go to making the part’s CanCollide only visible to the player who touched it and not to the rest of the server?

Handle the Part’s Visibility on the client using a LocalScript inside StarterPlayerScripts :wink: Keeping in mind though you’ll have to implement sanity checks on the server to ensure that exploiters won’t cheat the system

#3

So this local script will connect to the part and change the visibility/CanCollide for the client only (once they did touch it and they assumably have enough cash to be able to go through)

#4

Correct, if you already have the script made you could just change it to a LocalScript

All you’d really need to do is reference the Part inside the workspace instead

Thats a feature I didn’t know of! I will go test!

#6

It’s still changing to the entire server. Here is the script thats inside StarterPlayerScripts:

local debounce = false

game.Workspace["Leaderstat Door for tutorial"].Touched:Connect(function(touched)
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touched.Parent)
	if not Player then return end
	if debounce == false then
		if Player.leaderstats.Money.Value >= 1000 then
			debounce = true
			Player.leaderstats.Money.Value = Player.leaderstats.Money.Value - 1000
			game.Workspace["Leaderstat Door for tutorial"].CanCollide = false
			game.Workspace["Leaderstat Door for tutorial"].Transparency = 0.5
			print(Player.DisplayName.." has went through the 100 cash door. Process complete.")
			wait(5)
			debounce = false
		else
			print(Player.DisplayName.." doesn't have enough cash!")
			wait(10)
		end
	end
end)

Did you make sure to change it into a LocalScript?

#8

To prevent exploiters, you could make a second door inside and check if they have enough money using a server script, and if they don’t, kill them.

The one named “Money Checker” is my script Screen Shot 2021-06-03 at 4.50.04 PM

You can’t change values on the client due to filtering enabled.

#11

Consider using a remote event to change the values

#12

But if the player does have enough money and the part transparency changes, it changes for the entire server. I want it to change for the client only.

#13

CanCollide is not visible to other players, they will not notice it is off/on unless they try going through

#14

I would recommend using Collsion Filtering to utilize this.

If the player has enough money then add them to the collision group
Then you don’t have to make it a localscript

#15

Are you checking this side if you aren’t doing so? The part should still have collisions for other players

#16

I’m testing in a local server with 2 bot players so I can’t utilize that feature. I can manually test though with 2 real players but even if that’s the problem, the script should already just make it so that it changes for the client only.

#17

The thing though, is that clients should each have individually different areas & stats so I’m unsure as to why it’s not working apart from not checking the Door on the server-side

When you mean “2” bot players, do you mean NPC’s…?

#18

It’s in the test tab, testing on client and servers tab.Screen Shot 2021-06-03 at 5.01.40 PM

This is what I mean. Put a script in the part and insert this into it

local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")

local wall = "Door"
local player = "Whitelist"

--Creating collision groups
PhysicsService:CreateCollisionGroup(wall)
PhysicsService:CreateCollisionGroup(player)
--Set the two collision groups to not collide
PhysicsService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable(wall,player,false)
--Adding parts to collision group
PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(script.Parent,wall)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player and player.leaderstats.Money.Value >= 1000 then
		for _,p in pairs(hit.Parent:GetChildren()) do
			if p:IsA("BasePart") then
				p:SetPartCollisionGroup(p,player)
			end
		end
		player.leaderstats.Money.Value -= 1000
		print("Successful")
	end
end)

Please note that the player can only be in one collison group at a time.

#20

Is it possible to change the players collision group to another part if there are multiple parts like this?
