Help to open a door locally with a Remote Event [scripts + video] please

Temateite · April 25, 2022, 8:06pm

What do you want to achieve? I would like to make sure that when both players touch their parts then the door opens only for those two players
What is the issue? I created a remote Event to open the door as I was advised to do, but the script doesn’t work unfortunatly
What solutions have you tried so far? I tried to modify the scripts, I tried to put the remote Events script locally and not locally, I tried different things without success (remote function…). (I am still a beginner)

--Local Script in StarterCharacterScript
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local opendoor = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("opendoor2")
opendoor.OnClientEvent = function(player, part)
	game.Workspace.Door2.Transparency = 1 
end

And there is the second script

--Script in ServerScriptService
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local opendoor = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("opendoor2")
local part = game.Workspace.Door2

local transparent = function()
		opendoor:FireClient(part)
end;

game.Workspace.Clef.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
 if hit.Parent.Name == "Wrench2" then
		game.Workspace.Clefv.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		if game.Workspace.Clefv.Material == Enum.Material.Neon and game.Workspace.Clefv3.Material == Enum.Material.Neon then
			transparent()
		end
	end
end)
game.Workspace.Clef3.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent.Name == "Wrench3" then
		game.Workspace.Clefv3.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		if game.Workspace.Clefv.Material == Enum.Material.Neon and game.Workspace.Clefv3.Material == Enum.Material.Neon then
			transparent()
		end
	end
end)

opendoor

please if someone can help me to achieve this. Thanks

FireClient requires a player instance. You should get the players somehow.

Temateite · April 25, 2022, 8:20pm

Something like this ?

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter()
local transparent = function()
opendoor:FireClient(player, part)
end;

kalabgs · April 25, 2022, 8:22pm

yes, now find a way to retrieve both players

Temateite · April 25, 2022, 8:36pm

If someone can go into more detail, because I can’t seem to get any benefit from their advice. Thanks
Edit: Maybe if you know a good video tutorial adapted to my subject?

Could you put some print statements around to see where you’re code is getting stuck at?

Temateite · April 25, 2022, 8:45pm

Yes i already do, the code stop working at opendoor:FireClient(part)

DataSigh · April 25, 2022, 8:48pm

Like @FartFella said above, FireClient(player) has to have it’s first parameter as the player object. So you have to do

opendoor:FireClient(player, part)

But first find the player object so you can pass it through the function

Temateite · April 25, 2022, 8:54pm

Something like this ?

game.Workspace.Clef.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then 
    if hit.Parent.Name == "Wrench2" then
		game.Workspace.Clefv.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		if game.Workspace.Clefv.Material == Enum.Material.Neon and game.Workspace.Clefv3.Material == Enum.Material.Neon then
			transparent()
			end
		end
	end
end)

it’s quite difficult for me in the sense that it’s the first time I’m trying to make a script work this way, and like everything else on roblox until you get the script right the first time then it’s not easy to understand the logic behind

domboss37 · April 25, 2022, 9:07pm

Ye, here is a better indented version, and debugged

game.Workspace.Clef.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then 
        print("We have a player")
        if hit.Parent.Name == "Wrench2" then
            print("We stepped in Wrench2")
		    game.Workspace.Clefv.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		    if game.Workspace.Clefv.Material == Enum.Material.Neon and game.Workspace.Clefv3.Material == Enum.Material.Neon then
                print("We can call the transparent function")
			    transparent()
			end
	    end
    end
end)

Thanks for ur help i really appreciated it. The script stop working after the first print “We have a player”

DataSigh · April 25, 2022, 9:23pm

What’s “hit” supposed to be? And are you sure you’re referencing it correctly? You might have to do just hit.parent

Temateite · April 25, 2022, 9:25pm

because without this hit

game.Workspace.Clef.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

the script does not work anymore

Temateite · April 25, 2022, 9:34pm

This script seem’s to work :

game.Workspace.Clef.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then 
		print("We have a player")
		game.Workspace.Clef.Touched:Connect(function(hat)
		if hat.Parent.Name == "Wrench2" then
			print("We stepped in Wrench2")
			game.Workspace.Clefv.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
			if game.Workspace.Clefv.Material == Enum.Material.Neon and game.Workspace.Clefv3.Material == Enum.Material.Neon then
				print("We can call the transparent function")
				transparent()
			end
		end
	   end)
	end
end)

but now it block here

local transparent = function()
		opendoor:FireClient(part)
end;

domboss37 · April 25, 2022, 9:37pm

I have an idea for the transparent function try this:

local transparent = function(player)
	opendoor:FireClient(player, part)
end;

And for the other part just do this:


game.Workspace.Clef.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then 
		print("We have a player")
		game.Workspace.Clef.Touched:Connect(function(hat)
		    if hat.Parent.Name == "Wrench2" then
			    print("We stepped in Wrench2")
			    game.Workspace.Clefv.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
			    if game.Workspace.Clefv.Material == Enum.Material.Neon and game.Workspace.Clefv3.Material == Enum.Material.Neon then
				    print("We can call the transparent function")
				    transparent(player)
			    end
	       end
	   end)
	end
end)

First you need to use touched events and debounces. Then you need to wait for 1 player to be on each part. Then you fire both those clients and use a local script with RemoteEvents.

Temateite · April 25, 2022, 9:51pm

with this doesn’t work. My remote script is

--Local Script in StarterCharacterScript
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local opendoor = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("opendoor2")
opendoor.OnClientEvent = function(player)
	game.Workspace.Door2.Transparency = 1 
end

Does i need to change something in this ?

if i put on the other script

local transparent = function(player)
        print("open")
end;

it print “open” in the output but if i put

local transparent = function(player)
    opendoor:FireClient(player, part)
	print("hiii")
end;

then nothing happened

Temateite · April 25, 2022, 9:54pm

In theory I understood what I have to do but in practice it is more complicated.

domboss37 · April 25, 2022, 11:53pm

What is the variable part representing?

Temateite · April 26, 2022, 12:04am

I was able to exchange with a developer who helped me but unfortunately the action is still blocked at the time of the fireclient. Here are the new scripts

--ServerScriptService
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local opendoor = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("opendoor2")
local debounce = 1

local transparent = function(player)
	opendoor.FireClient(player)
end;

game.Workspace.Clef.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then 
		print("We have a player")
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Wrench2") then
			print("We stepped in Wrench2")
			game.Workspace.Clefv.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
			if game.Workspace.Clefv.Material == Enum.Material.Neon and game.Workspace.Clefv3.Material == Enum.Material.Neon then
				print("We can call the transparent function")
				transparent(player)
			end
		end
	end
end)


game.Workspace.Clef3.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then 
		print("We have a player")
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Wrench3") then
		   game.Workspace.Clefv3.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		if game.Workspace.Clefv.Material == Enum.Material.Neon and game.Workspace.Clefv3.Material == Enum.Material.Neon then
			transparent(player)
		end
	   end
   end
end)

--LocalScript in StarterCharacter
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local opendoor = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("opendoor2")

opendoor.OnClientEvent = function(player)
	game.Workspace.Door2.Transparency = 1 
end

if you have an idea what’s the problem ? Thank you
