How to make a flood escape interactive button?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to make a flood escape game as a beginner project to practice my scripting abilities.

I cannot find any tutorials for this, but here is what I am wanting to achieve:
I want to make a door that opens as soon as the players touch all the green buttons. If you have played those Flood Escape games, you’ll know what I mean. I want to keep it as simple as touching 5 parts to open a door. By open, I mean door:Destroy() gets executed as soon as all the buttons are touched.

Side note: I have about as much scripting knowledge as someone who has watched a full playlist of videos like “Beginner’s Scripting Tutorial”

What should I do if I have multiple rooms?

Thanks for the help! Do you think there is a simpler approach? I thought about doing something where I place all the buttons in one room into a group (or model) and once all the buttons in that group are touched, the door gets destroyed.

Here is an easier way

Here is an easier way:
Note: May look hard at beginning, but easier once you read instructions.

  1. Make a new folder for each room.
  2. Place each button in the folder.
  3. Make 2 Attributes in the folder (RequiredButtons, ButtonsHit: Both NumberValues)
    3.5. Keep all at 0
  4. Place this server script in every button:
Server Script 
local this_buttonGotHit = false
local CompRoom = false
local RoomFolder = script.Parent.Parent -- Choose where the current room folder should be.

local door = RoomFolder.Door -- Choose

local registeredPart = false
if registeredPart == false then
	registeredPart = true
	wait(0.1)
	RoomFolder:SetAttribute("RequiredButtons",RoomFolder:GetAttribute("RequiredButtons") + 1)
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
		if RoomFolder:GetAttribute("ButtonsHit") >= RoomFolder:GetAttribute("RequiredButtons") and CompRoom == false then
			CompRoom = true
			door:Destroy()
		end
		if this_buttonGotHit == false then
			this_buttonGotHit = true
			wait(0.1)
			script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.Red()
			if RoomFolder:GetAttribute("ButtonsHit") < RoomFolder:GetAttribute("RequiredButtons") then
				RoomFolder:SetAttribute("ButtonsHit",RoomFolder:GetAttribute("ButtonsHit") + 1)
			end	
		end
	end
end)
  1. Configure the script above. (One time thing)
  2. Good To Go!

Here is a kit I made for this (kit has more features):
Kit - Roblox
Attributes should already be added to the folder.
If there are no attributes in the folder, then you have to add them. (Read step 3, 3.5)

Thank you so much! I’m a beginner scripter and I am learning how to script. I’ll make sure to study what the script does and stuff, I don’t want to just take a free model. I managed to make my own by looking at your free model. You have no idea how useful this post and kit was. Thank you!
