Help with scripting an unlockable door (like piggy)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Ok so I am working on a Piggy game, and I needed help with scripting an unlockable door.
I have already made a script to unlock the door when you have key in your hands, but I am having problem searching/making the script where you have the key in your backpack and not your hands, This type of method requires a ClickDetector I assume. also don’t mind if I made a silly mistake as I am just a beginner.

local RedKey = workspace.Items["Red Key"]
local Door = script.Parent
local Click = Door.ClickDetector
local Lock = Door.Parent.Lock
local Glass = Door.Parent.Glass

local keysound = Instance.new("Sound")
keysound.Parent = Door
keysound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://4381793351"
keysound.Volume = 9


Click.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	if Player.Backpack == "Red Key" then
		Door.CanCollide = false
		Door.Transparency = 1
		Lock.CanCollide = false
		Lock.Transparency = 1
		Glass.Transparency = 1
		keysound:Play()
		RedKey:Destroy()
		
	end
	
end)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(p)
	if p.Parent.Name == "Red Key" then
		Door.CanCollide = false
		Door.Transparency = 1
		Lock.CanCollide = false
		Lock.Transparency = 1
		Glass.Transparency = 1
		keysound:Play()
		RedKey:Destroy()
		
	end
	
end)

I know for sure that I’m making a silly mistake…

Is the Player defined anywhere? You’d need to add the playerWhoClicked parameter in MouseClick's event.

#3

Click.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr) will also return the player where “plr” will be the player that click it try using that

#4

yea, I haven’t defined the Player anywhere, how do I define it?

local Player = ...
#5

Click.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player)

You can find the player trough your MouseClick event.

Call FindFirstChild() on their backpack to search for the item, then run the code associated with unlocking/opening the door.

Lock.Transparency = 1
Glass.Transparency = 1
keysound:Play()
player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(“Red Key”):Destroy()

end)

You do need to change some stuff up, since this is my code.

Yes, you do need to change up some stuff. Like you have to define your door etc. And second, obviously! We can!
Don’t worry, since developers are always to help each other!
