Garage Door for Car Customization System

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Hey guys! I’m trying to make a garage door that opens if I’m inside a car, for a car customization system, I would like to ask your opinion on the best way to do this.

I made a very confusing script… (I’m new with lua)

local Door = script.Parent.Parent.ExternGate
local IsTouching = false

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) --Well, I wanted some other way to get the player but idk how
	local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	
	for i,v in pairs(Character:GetChildren()) do --Do I create a script in the car or in the player to make it easier?
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
				if hit:IsA("VehicleSeat") then
					IsTouching = true
					
					script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hitt) --IDK what I'm doing
						if hitt == v and IsTouching == true then
							script.Parent.CanTouch = false
							for i = 3,(Door.Size.z / 0.15) do
								Door.CFrame = Door.CFrame - (Door.CFrame.lookVector * 0.15)
								wait()
							end

							wait(5)

							for i = 3,(Door.Size.z / 0.15) do
								Door.CFrame = Door.CFrame + (Door.CFrame.lookVector * 0.15)
								wait()
							end

							wait()

							script.Parent.CanTouch = true
                            --Does that make sense?
						end		
					end)	
				else
					IsTouching = false
				end
			end) 
		end
	end
end) --Sorry

If this is just a script for opening/closing a garage door when the player’s character is seated in a VehicleSeat then I’d consider doing the following instead.

for _, Seat in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
	if Seat:IsA("VehicleSeat") then
		Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
			if Seat.Occupant then
				--Open garage door.
			else
				--Close garage door.
			end
		end)
	end
end

The value of VehicleSeat.Occupant is either the humanoid instance of the player’s character currently seated or nil (if unoccupied).

Very Good, but, how can I make it if the player touches the detector to open the door?

Like this?

local Door = script.Parent.Parent.ExternGate

function JAJAJA()
	for _, Seat in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if Seat:IsA("VehicleSeat") then
			Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
				if Seat.Occupant then
					for i = 3,(Door.Size.z / 0.15) do
						Door.CFrame = Door.CFrame - (Door.CFrame.lookVector * 0.15)
						wait()
					end
				else
					for i = 3,(Door.Size.z / 0.15) do
						Door.CFrame = Door.CFrame + (Door.CFrame.lookVector * 0.15)
						wait()
					end
				end
			end)
		end
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(JAJAJA)

You can’t really have the player seated and touching a part at the same time, I’d recommend using a “ProximityPrompt” instance or a “ClickDetector” instance while the player is seated to achieve this.
