You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to achieve to retrieve the items named “Door”
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
I am unable to get them
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub? Tried everything I could, every FindFirstChild
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
function getProximityPrompts()
for _, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
print(v)
--print(typeof(v))
if v:FindFirstChild("Door") then
return v
end
end
end
Try looking for the ProximityPrompts itself first then return its parent. You should make a table to contain every single object instead of returning the first object found. return breaks off the function as it thinks it’s already finished with its job, well, at least that’s how I understand it. No intention to spread misinformation whatsoever.
function getProximityPrompts()
local list = {}
for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("ProximityPrompt") then
table.insert(list,v.Parent)
end
end
return list
end
This should return a table full of objects that have ProximityPrompt in it.
Or if you only want objects with the name Door, you can do:
function getDoors()
local list = {}
for _, v in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("ProximityPrompt") and v.Parent.Name == "Door" then
table.insert(list,v.Parent)
end
end
return list
end
This should return a list of every Door with a ProximityPrompt in it.
There may be many ProximityPrompts, so let’s avoid confusion by renaming the function to get doors only.
Thank you, also now I have come across another problem. Im using CollectionService Now.
Code:
function GetAllDoorsAndListen()
for _, door in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged("Doors")) do
print(door)
if door:FindFirstChild("ProximityPrompt") then
local prompt = door.ProximityPrompt
prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
if isOpened then
prompt.ActionText = "Close Door"
openDoor(door)
wait(2)
isOpened = false
else
prompt.ActionText = "Open Door"
closeDoor(door)
wait(2)
isOpened = true
end
end)
else
print(door)
end
end
end
But problem is, some doors might be different and I want to loop and when I get it, how do I get the original parent. The model/instance?
