So I want to make a door which is locked and only police can open it. But I also want a lockpick criminals can use to open the door. The door uses proximity prompts and I want a police officer to open the door just like unlocked doors (a hold duration of 0). But if a criminal has a lockpick I want the hold duration to change to 5.
The issue is I don’t know how to do this detection because the script is global so I cant check if a character has lockpicks BEFORE they start triggering the prompt.
I’ve included my failed attempts in the script below but other than that I’ve looked up this subject but there is nothing like this with proximity prompts.
Here is the one script and a screenshot of the doors children:
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local doorModel = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Open = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Open
local Close = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Close
local Speed = doorModel.DoorSpeed.Value
script.Parent.HoldDuration = 0
local deBounce = false
script.Parent.PromptShown:Connect(function(inputTypem) -- Here I was hoping that this would give me the player so I could
-- get the character and change the Hold Duration accordingly
end)
script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
if doorModel.Locked.Value and player.Team ~= game.Teams.Police then --This was my failed attempt...
script.Parent.ActionText = "Locked"
if player.Character:FindFirstChild("LockPicks") then
script.Parent.HoldDuration = 5
end
end
if deBounce then return end
deBounce = true
local cframe = doorModel.Hinge.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
if script.Parent.ActionText == "Open" then
Open.TimePosition = 0.7
Open:Play()
cframe = doorModel.Hinge.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
script.Parent.ActionText = "Close"
elseif script.Parent.ActionText == "Close" then
Close.TimePosition = 0.2
Close:Play()
cframe = doorModel.Hinge.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(-90), 0)
script.Parent.ActionText = "Open"
else
return
end
local doorTween = TweenService:Create(doorModel.Hinge, TweenInfo.new(Speed, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad), {CFrame = cframe})
doorTween:Play()
wait(Speed)
deBounce = false
end)
Maybe approach it from a different side. How about getting into a localScript, checking the player’s team, and changing the proximityPrompt (or a for i, v in ipairs do loop for more proximityPrompts) accordingly, and you’re all set. Change the duration for criminals, and check for lockpicks in hand before proceeding to open the door with the ["ProximityPrompt"].InputBegan function, which also gets you the playerWhoTriggered parameter, and for officers, change it’s hold duration time to 0.
Besides, LocalScripts have game.Players.LocalPlayer, so even the ["ProximityPrompt"].PromptShown way is possible. (with proper RemoteEvents of course, as @RobloxPlayer_9384 stated earlier)

Since the game has multiple doors how would I use one local script and detect whenever any of the prompts are visible?
for i, door in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if door.Name == ["Door's name"] then
-- proceed to do stuff
end
end
If you meant specific doors in-game:
If it’s possible, you could put all the doors into a folder, and do an ipairs loop there.
If it doesn’t tamper with your other scripts, you could name the doors to a specific name, and do stuff with it using the code block above.
(Most efficient in my opinion) You could insert a BoolValue into the door (Any value will do), name it something special and then check for its existence with the code block above.
The only thing is that proximity prompts only reset once you walk away from them so you that the Gui can close and a new one can appear with the changes (hold duration).
I’m just wondering if there is a way around that or not.
So you mean it still uses the last set hold duration? That’s odd, the proximityPrompt should update automatically. You do use these with RemoteEvents, right?
for i, prompt in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if prompt:IsA("ProximityPrompt") then
prompt.Changed:Connect(function()
prompt.Enabled = false
wait()
prompt.Enabled = true
end)
end
end
I figured it out thanks,
For people looking for solution:
Basically Make a local script and change the duration there based on if the player has a lockpick or is a police officer.
local DoorEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events"):WaitForChild("DoorEvent") -- Get remote event
local function Doors()
for i, door in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
if door:IsA("Model") and door.Name == "LockedDoor" then
local Prompt = door:WaitForChild("Door"):WaitForChild("Door"):WaitForChild("Attachment"):WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
local Locked = door:WaitForChild("Door"):WaitForChild("Locked")
local Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
Prompt.Enabled = false --Hide the prompt
if Locked.Value and game.Players.LocalPlayer.Team ~= game.Teams.Police then --Check if Police and locked
Prompt.HoldDuration = 60
if Character:FindFirstChild("LockPicks") then
Prompt.HoldDuration = 5
Prompt.Enabled = true --Show prompt and set Duration if lockpicks
end
print(Prompt.HoldDuration)
else
Prompt.HoldDuration = 0
Prompt.Enabled = true --Show prompt and set Duration if police
end
Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
DoorEvent:FireServer(door.Name) --Tell the server to open/close the door Globaly
--Also Send the Door's name so the script knows
--Which door to open
end)
end
end
end
script.Parent.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child) --Check For LockPicks
if child.Name == "LockPicks" then
Doors()
end
end)
script.Parent.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(child) --Check if LockPicks were hidden
if child.Name == "LockPicks" then
Doors()
end
end)
Doors()
Then fire a remote event to a serverScript which tells it to open the door, you can do that however you want bust just do it inside this:
local DoorEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events"):WaitForChild("DoorEvent")
local deBounce = false
DoorEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, name)
if script.Parent.Name ~= name then return end
if deBounce then return end
deBounce = true
--Open/Close door here
deBounce = false
end)
