I made a bus in my roleplay game but I don’t have anything to open the bus doors, how would I make a textbutton that opens the bus doors and closes when the player clicks it again?

Edit: this is the script i’m working on it wont work

 local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local textbutton = script.Parent.Parent["A-Chassis Tune"].Plugins.AC6_Stock_Gauges.OpenBusDoors

-- Create the RemoteEvent
local remoteEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
remoteEvent.Name = "DoorRequestEvent"
remoteEvent.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
print("The Remote event was made")

timeout_number = 6

local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DoorRequestEvent", timeout_number)

-- Function to handle the door movement
local function handleDoorRequest(player, doorOpen)
	local LeftBusDoor = script.Parent.BusDoors.LeftBusDoor.LeftDoor
	local RightBusDoor = script.Parent.BusDoors.RightBusDoor.RightDoor
	print("Found the Bus doors")

	local openleftPosition = Vector3.new(619.376, 17.451, 17.868) -- Replace with the desired open position
	local openRightPosition = Vector3.new(619.376, 17.451, 17.868) -- Replace with the desired open position
	local closedLeftPosition = Vector3.new(619.069, 17.451, 16.603) -- Replace with the desired closed position
	local closedRightPosition = Vector3.new(619.069, 17.451, 16.603) -- Replace with the desired closed position
	local tweenInfo  = TweenInfo.new(1)

	local tweenLeftOpen = TweenService:Create(LeftBusDoor, tweenInfo, {Position = openleftPosition})
	local tweenRightOpen = TweenService:Create(RightBusDoor, tweenInfo, {Position = openRightPosition})

	local tweenLeftClose = TweenService:Create(LeftBusDoor, tweenInfo, {Position = closedLeftPosition})
	local tweenRightClose = TweenService:Create(RightBusDoor, tweenInfo, {Position = closedRightPosition})

	-- Move the doors based on the doorOpen parameter
textbutton.Activated:Connect(handleDoorRequest)
	if doorOpen then
		if textbutton.Text == "Close Bus Doors" then
			tweenLeftClose:Play()
			tweenRightClose:Play()
			textbutton.Text = "Open Bus Doors"
		    print("Door Opened")
	else
		tweenLeftOpen:Play()
		tweenRightOpen:Play()
		textbutton.Text = "Close Bus Doors"
		print("Door Closed")
	end
	end
end

Hello,
you could use RemoteEvents where the client would send a request to open/close the doors when the button is pressed and then the server would open/close the doors in your Script.
You can do a simple door system by modifying the CFrame of the doors, Tweening them, or animating them.

im not using a local script so i dont think that would work

#4

Put a local script inside of the text button, when it clicks fire an event that opens the door for the bus.

#5

but if i use a local script i don’t think it’ll show the door opening for all players.

#6

That’s what a remote event is for.

Read this about remote events and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.

ohh i’m so dumb i got it thanks :smiley:

I’m doing a script of what you said but I’m having a problem making it work.

The local script for the button

-- Client Script (LocalScript)

-- Locate the RemoteEvent

local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.DoorRequestEvent

-- Locate the button

local button = script.Parent.OpenBusDoors

local function onButtonClicked()

-- Send a door request to the server

remoteEvent:FireServer(true) -- Replace 'true' with the desired door state

end

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onButtonClicked)

The Server-sided script

local remoteEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")

remoteEvent.Name = "DoorRequestEvent"

remoteEvent.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage

-- Function to handle the door movement

local function handleDoorRequest(player, doorOpen)

local LeftBusDoor = workspace.Bus.Body.BusDoors.LeftBusDoor.LeftDoor

local RightBusDoor = workspace.Bus.Body.BusDoors.RightBusDoor.RightDoor

local openPosition = Vector3.new(0, 5, 0) -- Replace with the desired open position

local closedPosition = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) -- Replace with the desired closed position

-- Move the doors based on the doorOpen parameter

if doorOpen then

LeftBusDoor:TweenPosition(openPosition, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 1, true)

RightBusDoor:TweenPosition(openPosition, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 1, true)

else

LeftBusDoor:TweenPosition(closedPosition, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 1, true)

RightBusDoor:TweenPosition(closedPosition, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, 1, true)

end

end

-- Event listener for handling door requests

remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(handleDoorRequest)

Isn’t TweenPosition() only for GUI objects?
You’ll want to use TweenService instead

#12

this is my updated script it still wont work tho

server-sided script

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local textbutton = script.Parent.Parent["A-Chassis Tune"].Plugins.AC6_Stock_Gauges.OpenBusDoors

-- Create the RemoteEvent
local remoteEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
remoteEvent.Name = "DoorRequestEvent"
remoteEvent.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
print("The Remote event was made")

timeout_number = 6

local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DoorRequestEvent", timeout_number)

-- Function to handle the door movement
local function handleDoorRequest(player, doorOpen)
	local LeftBusDoor = script.Parent.BusDoors.LeftBusDoor.LeftDoor
	local RightBusDoor = script.Parent.BusDoors.RightBusDoor.RightDoor
	print("Found the Bus doors")

	local openleftPosition = Vector3.new(619.376, 17.451, 17.868) -- Replace with the desired open position
	local openRightPosition = Vector3.new(619.376, 17.451, 17.868) -- Replace with the desired open position
	local closedLeftPosition = Vector3.new(619.069, 17.451, 16.603) -- Replace with the desired closed position
	local closedRightPosition = Vector3.new(619.069, 17.451, 16.603) -- Replace with the desired closed position
	local tweenInfo  = TweenInfo.new(1)

	local tweenLeftOpen = TweenService:Create(LeftBusDoor, tweenInfo, {Position = openleftPosition})
	local tweenRightOpen = TweenService:Create(RightBusDoor, tweenInfo, {Position = openRightPosition})

	local tweenLeftClose = TweenService:Create(LeftBusDoor, tweenInfo, {Position = closedLeftPosition})
	local tweenRightClose = TweenService:Create(RightBusDoor, tweenInfo, {Position = closedRightPosition})

	-- Move the doors based on the doorOpen parameter
textbutton.Activated:Connect(handleDoorRequest)
	if doorOpen then
		if textbutton.Text == "Close Bus Doors" then
			tweenLeftClose:Play()
			tweenRightClose:Play()
			textbutton.Text = "Open Bus Doors"
		    print("Door Opened")
	else
		tweenLeftOpen:Play()
		tweenRightOpen:Play()
		textbutton.Text = "Close Bus Doors"
		print("Door Closed")
	end
	end
end
