Make a Keycard door with proximity prompt only open to the player who interacted with it

Hello! Well, I have a keycard door that is with a proximity prompt for a game of obstacles but to make it more personalized then… there would be a way to make the user who interacted with the door open only for him? so as to prevent other players from taking advantage

You can just use a LocalScript so the door opening is only on client side.

So the script that currently handles the door should pass it to a localscript?

#4

Yes, you could pass information via a remote event:

local event = --event path
local prox = --proximity prompt path

prox.Triggered:Connect(function(p)
event:FireClient(p)
end

Then open the door in the LocalScript.

#5

And how would I pass it through a remote event? Would I have to combine it with the door script or something like that?

No, you create a remote event and make a localscript in the same door that opens the door when the event is fired.

#7

You’d have to open the door on the client of the player.

#8

Localscripts don’t work in Workspace. Put a localscript in StarterGui to handle the door events.

game.ReplicatedStorage.Remote_Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
local door = Door_Here
--script the opening thing here
end)

It must be: A localscript in StarterGui, StarterPack, or any StarterPlayer stuff.
Server sends remote to the localscript.

Okey but how would you make a script like this? And the script that it has, what makes the door open, should I leave it as a script or change it to a local script?

#10

If you want the door to only open for the person who completed the challenge, just use a Local Script. Also, to open the door, you can animate it or just set Can Collide and Transparency to false and 1.

#11

You’d have to use a local script and then for example change the door’s transparency to 1. The transparency will only change for the player because the value was changed on a local script and not a server script.

#12

I mean, I already have everything, the door opens correctly with a specific object, all through proximity prompt, only when doing this action I would like the door to open only for the player who interacted with it

#13

My door occupies TweenService so I don’t think the transparency thing applies in my case

#14

Use a local script like this:

local event = --event path 
local door = --door path

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
door.Transparency = 1
door.CanCollide = false
end
#15

Can you show us the script please?

#16

This is the script
local TweenService = game:GetService(‘TweenService’)
local time = 2

script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
if Player.Character:FindFirstChild(‘Tool’) then
print(“Found KeyCard!”) – this will print if it finds the keycard
script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Enabled = false

	TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent.MainDoor, TweenInfo.new(time,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut ), {Position = script.Parent.Parent.RotateDoor.Position, Orientation = script.Parent.Parent.RotateDoor.Orientation}):Play()

	wait(time + time)

	TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent.MainDoor, TweenInfo.new(time,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut ), {Position = script.Parent.Parent.ReferDoor.Position, Orientation = script.Parent.Parent.ReferDoor.Orientation}):Play()

	wait(time)

	script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Enabled = true
end

end)

#17

Basically that is script that opens the door

#18

Is it a server script? (char 30)

#19

Just insert the event path, fire the event right after

print(“Found KeyCard!”) – this will print if it finds the keycard

then move all the tweening bits and the proximity prompt disable and enable to a LocalScript parented to the same object as your ServerScript.

#20

and how would the event be so that there is no error in the script
