How to fire this line of code without interacting with proximityprompt?

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want this line of code to show, not just after I interact with it
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I want for proximity prompt action text to be unlocked, yet it unlocks after I interact with it
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    Yes I did.
    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!
local OutsideKnob = script.Parent
local Door = OutsideKnob.Parent
local OutsideProx = OutsideKnob.ProximityPrompt
local InsideProx = Door.InsideKnob.ProximityPrompt
local Sound = Instance.new("Sound")
local Locked = "Locked"
local Unlocked = "Unlocked"


OutsideProx.Triggered:Connect(function(playerWhoTriggered)
	Sound.Parent = OutsideKnob
	Sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://134969396"
	Sound.Playing = true
	OutsideProx.ActionText = "Locked"
	if InsideProx.ActionText == Unlocked then
		OutsideProx.ActionText = Unlocked
	end
end)

You see after I interact with “Unlock” button it should say Unlocked on “Interact” button

First of all, you should do Sound:Play(). Second, why make the locked variable if you’re not going to use it. Where’s the inside prox script?

Try this out

local OutsideKnob = script.Parent
local Door = OutsideKnob.Parent
local OutsideProx = OutsideKnob.ProximityPrompt
local InsideProx = Door.InsideKnob.ProximityPrompt
local Sound = Instance.new("Sound")
local Locked = "Locked"
local Unlocked = "Unlocked"


OutsideProx.Triggered:Connect(function(playerWhoTriggered)
	Sound.Parent = OutsideKnob
	Sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://134969396"
	Sound:Play()
	OutsideProx.ActionText = if InsideProx.ActionText == Unlocked then Unlocked else Locked
end)

Sorry, didn’t watch this. For this the inside prox script is needed.

What do you mean by locked? I use it incase, why bother writing same thing for third time when you can just put 1 line of code and you might use it, in programming you need to automate stuff else it will be a headache, I used Sound:Play() it didn’t work now it seems to work, I can give you the inside prox script, but I need to make sure it works, but problem is it’s inside event and I can’t fire it outside.

Nope, didn’t work
Here is the script(inside)

local InsideKnob = script.Parent
local Prox = InsideKnob.ProximityPrompt
local Door = InsideKnob.Parent
local Sound = InsideKnob.Sound

local Locked = “Locked”
local Unlocked = “Unlocked”
local Interact = “Interact”
–Unlock door sound “rbxassetid://157167203”
–Locked door sound “rbxassetid://134969396”

InsideKnob.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(playerWhoTriggered)
if Prox.ActionText == Interact then
Prox.ActionText = Locked
Sound.SoundId = “rbxassetid://134969396”
Sound.Playing = true
elseif Prox.ActionText == Unlocked then
Sound.SoundId = “rbxassetid://157167203”
Sound.Playing = true
end
end)

You have a syntax error, do PromptTriggered instead of Triggered.

#10

I meant the script that unlocks the door

Your script seems to have a few issues as I could not replicate your behaviour using yours, I remade the script but did not understand which one is which so you can change OutsideKnob and InsideKnobs places.

This script is located inside the “Door”

local OutsideKnob = script.Parent.OutsideKnob
local InsideKnob = script.Parent.InsideKnob
local InsideProx = InsideKnob.ProximityPrompt
local InsideSound = InsideKnob.Sound
local OutsideProx = OutsideKnob.ProximityPrompt
local OutsideSound = OutsideKnob.Sound

local CurrentState = Instance.new("StringValue")
CurrentState.Value = "Locked"
local Debounce = false

CurrentState.Changed:Connect(function()
	if CurrentState.Value == "Unlocked" then
		OutsideProx.ActionText = "Unlocked"
	else
		OutsideProx.ActionText = "Interact"
	end
end)

OutsideProx.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
	if not Debounce then
		Debounce = true
		if CurrentState.Value == "Locked" then
			OutsideProx.ActionText = "Locked"
			task.wait(2)
			OutsideProx.ActionText = "Interact"
		end
		Debounce = false
	end
end)

InsideProx.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
	if CurrentState.Value == "Locked" then
		CurrentState.Value = "Unlocked"
	else
		CurrentState.Value = "Locked"
	end
end)
