Jiggling Pressure Plate

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I want to be able to make a pressure plate that detects if a player’s character touched it or a block touched it and activate a tween to shift its size down. I also want it to shift its size back to normal but I have this bug where the pressure plates “jiggles” when it detects collision of the character and the block.

Demonstration in the video:

My script:

local plate2 = plate1.Parent.Parent.PressurePlate2

local block = game.Workspace.Rooms.Room2.Block

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweenInfoDown = TweenInfo.new(
	.5,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
	Enum.EasingDirection.In,
	0,
	false,
	0
)

local tweenPropDown = {
	Size = Vector3.new(4, 0, 4)
}

local tweenDown = TS:Create(plate1, tweenInfoDown, tweenPropDown)

local tweenInfoUp = TweenInfo.new(
	.5,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
	Enum.EasingDirection.In,
	0,
	false,
	0
)

local tweenPropUp = {
	Size = Vector3.new(4,1,4)
}

local tweenUp = TS:Create(plate1, tweenInfoUp, tweenPropUp)

plate1.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	
	local character = part.Parent

	if character or part.Name == block.Name then
		tweenDown:Play()
	end
end)

plate1.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
	tweenUp:Play()
end)

I haven’t tried any solutions so far because I couldn’t figure out one really.

P.S. I might not be able to respond until tomorrow because I’m really busy.

Basically, you just need to add a debounce to the “Touched” event otherwise it’ll detect multiple of touches so fast but you only really need 1 to touch it. Also you can make a tween to go back again.

local tweenInfoDown = TweenInfo.new(
	.5,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
	Enum.EasingDirection.In,
	0,
	true, -- this bring back the tween to the original state aka "Up"
	0
)

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local plate2 = plate1.Parent.Parent.PressurePlate2
local block = game.Workspace.Rooms.Room2.Block
db = false

local TweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(.5,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.In,0,true,0)

local TSDown = TS:Create(plate1, TweenInfo, {Size = Vector3.new(4, 0, 4})

plate1.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
if touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then
if not db then
db = true
TSDown:Play()
TSDown.Completed:Wait()
task.wait(2.5)
db = false
end
end
end)

Could you explain to me how this new code works? I’m not very familiar with debounces.

Basically what it’ll do is when it touches it’ll stop the other touching parts and then it’ll play the tween [it goes up and down] and then wait after a time and the debounce will stop.

I’ve read the code for a bit when I came across task.wait() I have never honestly seen this method… What does it do exactly?

It just like “wait()” but better because it has a less delay than the original wait().

But what exactly was the purpose of adding task.wait() to the code? If I had to guess, I think it could the crash the server.

You don’t ever use “Wait()” dont argue with the deprecated version of task.wait(). You’d always choose task.wait() over wait(). It doesn’t lags or “Crash” the game.
