Help with Multiple SCP Doors

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I decided to go back and work on my SCP game and I worked on the door system first.

The door system works but the hand icon does not appear for other doors except one. You can see this in this video. ( Sorry for the lag blame my trash CPU :confused: )

Here’s the code. ( NOT THE FULL CODE )

( Blacked out some part of the code since they are the “proxmityprompts”. )

I looked at the Developer Hub and could not find anything.
Tried to use :GetDescendants().
I tried to put the code in one RunService but did not make any changes.
I tried to put the code in other places.

Also, tell me what does not make sense so I can explain the problem to you.

Ok I’m slightly confused, are you using ProximityPrompts? Or is it a custom GUI solution?

I’m using an image for this so I guess it’s a GUI solution.

#4

Okay well the first “problem” that I see, is that you’re using RunService events, when, from what I can tell, you could just be using a ClickDetector, and if you really want UI, .MouseHoverEnter and .MouseHoverLeave. Is there some specific reasoning behind the choice to use RenderStepped?

#5

But here’s the thing. For ClickDetectors I have to somehow get a part to stay in the player’s view and somehow make it clickable without clicking the ClickDetector. Same with MouseHoverLeave / MouseHoverEnter I have to somehow get that to stay on the button and somehow make it able to press it without pressing the UI button.

#6

Ohh, I get what you mean. When you get within a certain proximity of the button, you want any MouseButton1Down to activate the button. Is that correct?

Yeah that’s what I’m trying to do.

Ok, so here’s an explanation of what I’d do. It’s kind of “hacky”, but it’s the easiest/most robust solution I can think of off the top of my head. Use proximity prompts, and set the proximityPromptStyle to “Custom”. Then, you can just set the KeyCode to nil. You can then use ProximityPromptService to find when an event is hidden and shown, this will allow you to grab what the prompt is, and then set the BillboardGui's Adornee to the ProximityPrompt’s parent. You can then also use something like ContextActionService, or any other method of getting a Button1Down event. From there you can do whatever you want with it. Once you get the PromptHidden event, you can just set the BillboardGui's Adornee to nil, and unbind the CAS binding (if thats what you end up doing), or whatever works for a different MouseButton1 solution.

If that’s too much, I can try to break it down further.

I don’t think it will work like that but I’ll give it a try but on a new baseplate so I don’t screw up my current code.

#10

It did not work :frowning: . Even tried to fix what was happening to my code but it just gave the hand icon to random doors

#11

Did you configure the settings? Make sure the maxprompts is set to 1, and then in each prompt make sure the settings are set the way you’d like them.

Here are these if they can help:

This didn’t do anything sadly.

#13

You’d just use a SurfaceGui to display the “click icon” over the door buttons.

#14

Yeah, but it’ll take a while to make the part stay in the player’s view.

Ok, I finally fixed it. Thanks for trying to help guys!
