Keep door open if player is still in trigger box

Nabilekes · October 15, 2022, 1:18pm

Hi,

As the title says, how do I make the door remain open if the player is still in triggerbox?

local model = script.Parent

local trigger_in = model.Trigger_In

local trigger_out = model.Trigger_Out


local left = model.MainL

local right = model.MainR


local activated = false


local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")


local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(



	model.Speed.Value, --Time

	Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, --Easing Style

	Enum.EasingDirection.Out, --EasingDirection

	0, --Repeat Count

	true, --Reverse

	0 --DelayTime



)


local function open(otherPart)

	local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(otherPart.Parent.Name)

	if player and not activated then

		activated = true



		local tweenL = TweenService:Create(left, tweenInfo, {Position = model.TargetL.Position})

		local tweenR = TweenService:Create(right, tweenInfo, {Position = model.TargetR.Position})



		tweenL:Play()

		tweenR:Play()



		tweenR.Completed:Wait()



		activated = false

	end

end


trigger_in.Touched:Connect(open)

trigger_out.Touched:Connect(open)

local trigger_in = model.Trigger_In

local trigger_out = model.Trigger_Out

I would probably try use Touched and TouchEnded events. I would also add a debounce to prevent any spam of the part.

didn’t test it but maybe this could work better. using only one part to trigger your tween and creating another tween info for the closing tween instead of trying to reverse it


local model = script.Parent

local trigger_in = model.Trigger_In


local left = model.MainL

local right = model.MainR


local activated = false


local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")


local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(



	model.Speed.Value, --Time

	Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, --Easing Style

	Enum.EasingDirection.Out, --EasingDirection

	0, --Repeat Count

	false, --Reverse

	0 --DelayTime



)


local function open(hitPart)

	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hitPart.Parent)

	if player and activated == false then

		activated = true
		
		
		local tweenL = TweenService:Create(left, tweenInfo, {Position = model.TargetL.Position})

		local tweenR = TweenService:Create(right, tweenInfo, {Position = model.TargetR.Position})



		tweenL:Play()

		tweenR:Play()

		tweenR.Completed:Wait()
		
		trigger_in.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
			activated = false
			-- close doors
			
		end)
		

	end
end


trigger_in.Touched:Connect(open)

Hi,

It works, but it remains open and doesn’t close again.

Doraemon4680 · October 15, 2022, 3:54pm

Why putting TouchEnded function INSIDE the open function?! Try this code instead:

local model = script.Parent

local trigger_in = model.Trigger_In


local left = model.MainL

local right = model.MainR


local activated = false


local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")


local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(



     model.Speed.Value, --Time

     Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, --Easing Style

     Enum.EasingDirection.Out, --EasingDirection

     0, --Repeat Count

     false, --Reverse

     0 --DelayTime



)


local function open(hitPart)

     local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hitPart.Parent)

     if player and activated == false then

          activated = true


          local tweenL = TweenService:Create(left, tweenInfo, {Position = model.TargetL.Position})

          local tweenR = TweenService:Create(right, tweenInfo, {Position = model.TargetR.Position})



          tweenL:Play()

          tweenR:Play()

          tweenR.Completed:Wait()
     end
end

local function close(hitPart)
     local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hitPart.Parent)
     if player and activated == true then
          activated = false
          --Create the Tween closing animation by yourself.
     end
end

trigger_in.Touched:Connect(open)
trigger_in.TouchEnded:Connect(close)

(I am very sorry if I criticizes you too harsh. The script you gave were kind of, redundant?)

Nabilekes · October 15, 2022, 3:56pm

Doraemon4680:

local model = script.Parent

local trigger_in = model.Trigger_In


local left = model.MainL

local right = model.MainR


local activated = false


local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")


local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(

The tween closing animation is just the original position

Bumping if anyone wants to help, all help is appreciated.

Nabilekes · October 15, 2022, 4:07pm

They worked, the one in my post. It opened and closed the door, but I want it to stay open if the player is still in the tirgger box.

Doraemon4680 · October 15, 2022, 4:09pm

According to my knowledge, Touched had already done that for you. It kinda just stays open when you’re still in that part.

Nabilekes · October 15, 2022, 4:09pm

But how do I make it close if the player is out of the hitbox?

Doraemon4680 · October 15, 2022, 4:09pm

TouchEnded had done that for you, again. When you get out of the part, it closes.

weding3 · October 15, 2022, 4:11pm

i would use Zone+ then do something like

local ZoneM = require(path)
local NewZ = ZoneM.new(area) -- eg the hitbox surrounding the door

NewZ.playerEntered:Connect(function(player)
       --Open door
end)

NewZ.playerExited:Connect(function(player)
       --Close door
end)

Also… make your hit box taller, so that it will detect the player’s HumanoidRootPart

Nabilekes · October 15, 2022, 4:14pm

The script you sent me didn’t do that. It didn’t close again.

Nabilekes · October 15, 2022, 4:14pm

Already did, but changed nothing

SelDraken · October 15, 2022, 4:14pm

Look to the code I posted on that link. The person had the same issue, detecting when entering and leaving a hit box

I think you need to determine if the issue is your detecting hitboxes correctly or if its a problem with the mechanic of the door opening and closing.

maybe use some print statements that print “Open” and “Close” to make sure the hitbox stuff works first. Then if it does, but doors not opening or closing properly, then work on the mechanic of the doors

Doraemon4680 · October 15, 2022, 4:15pm

Are you sure you’re going in the hitbox and then exiting the hitbox back and fourth (at a fast pace)? If so, must’ve been 2 tweens (in one part) are playing at the same time, which you know, break the tweens.

Nabilekes · October 15, 2022, 4:17pm

The script I’m using is the one you sent me. This is what happens in video:

And this is the script you gave me:

local model = script.Parent

local trigger_in = model.Trigger_In


local left = model.MainL

local right = model.MainR


local activated = false


local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")


local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(



	model.Speed.Value, --Time

	Enum.EasingStyle.Bounce, --Easing Style

	Enum.EasingDirection.Out, --EasingDirection

	0, --Repeat Count

	false, --Reverse

	0 --DelayTime



)


local function open(hitPart)

	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hitPart.Parent)

	if player and activated == false then

		activated = true


		local tweenL = TweenService:Create(left, tweenInfo, {Position = model.TargetL.Position})

		local tweenR = TweenService:Create(right, tweenInfo, {Position = model.TargetR.Position})



		tweenL:Play()

		tweenR:Play()

		tweenR.Completed:Wait()
	end
end

local function close(hitPart)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hitPart.Parent)
	if player and activated == true then
		activated = false
		--Create the Tween closing animation by yourself.
	end
end

trigger_in.Touched:Connect(open)
trigger_in.TouchEnded:Connect(close)

Doraemon4680 · October 15, 2022, 4:18pm

~~I forgot there’s a Completed event in the function. Remove that.~~
Weird, if that’s the case, then I’ll try to do something.

SelDraken · October 15, 2022, 4:18pm

As I said, put some print statements or breakpoints to make sure its getting into that ‘close’ funcion
