Hi so as the title say i need help with making a garage door, I have the frame and such built but i am newer to scripting and using constraints, I am trying to make a realistic garage door for a game i am starting to develop. I have tried using the AI assistant but its all so confusing to me

Any help is appreciated!

This script will use a HingeConstraint to simulate the opening and closing of the door. Assuming you already have the door structure and the door itself, the script will be responsible for rotating the door around an axis.

-- We have the door here.
local door = script.Parent
local open = false
openAngle location = 90
local closedAngle = 0
local speed = 2

--Opens and closes.
local function toggleDoor()
    if open then
        for i = openAngle, closedAngle, -speed do
            door.HingeConstraint.TargetAngle = i
            wait(0.01)
        end
    else
        for i = closedAngle, openAngle, speed do
            door.HingeConstraint.TargetAngle = i
            wait(0.01)
        end
    end
    open = not open
end

-- Click and watch the magic happen.
door.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(toggleDoor)

garage door script. First up, the HingeConstraint. Make sure it’s aligned just right with the axis.

Next, the script. Just pop it inside the door part. And don’t forget the ClickDetector. Want that door to swing open with a click? This little guy makes it happen. Without it, nothing moves.

Tweak the openAngle and speed. Fast or slow? It’s your call.

then tell me if it worked

That should work but I would use tweens.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

-- We have the door here.
local OPEN_ANGLE = 90
local CLOSED_ANGLE = 0
local LENGTH = 2

local door = script.Parent
local open = false

--Opens and closes

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(LENGTH, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)

local debounce = false

local function ToggleDoor()
	if debounce then return end
	
	debounce = true
	if open then
		openTween:Play()
		
		openTween.Completed:Wait()
		debounce = false
	else
		closeTween:Play()
		
		closeTween.Completed:Wait()
		debounce = false
	end
	open = not open
end

-- Click and watch the magic happen.
door.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(toggleDoor)

(Also if you want one of those garages where the slits move along a track then you’re probably going to have to use pathfinding or something.)
