Making doors for an elevator

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey Developers,

I need help making elevator doors! I would like it to look like this:

And this is my code:

local SIDE_DOOR = script.Parent.Parent.Doors.SIDE_DOOR
local TOP_DOOR = script.Parent.Parent.Doors.TOP_DOOR

function topDoor()
	for count = 16, 0, -1 do
		TOP_DOOR.Position = +0.5 -- the '+' is underlined in red
		wait(1)
	end
end

function sideDoor()
	-- help me here aswell
end

function startElevator()
	topDoor()
	wait(0.5)
	sideDoor()
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(startElevator)

But instead it just does stays in the same position. This line of text is from the output bar: Workspace.Underground Space.Elevator.START.Script:6: attempt to perform arithmetic (add) on table and number

Please help and thank you if you did!

Hey, you can try use tweening for your door, make 2 transparency copies of the door. One closed and one opened. with this you can tween it.

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Tween = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
local CPOS = {CFrame = ClosedWaypoint.CFrame}
local OPOS = {CFrame = OpenedWaypoint.CFrame}
local CTween = TweenService:Create(door.door, Tween, CPOS)
local OTween = TweenService:Create(door.door, Tween, OPOS)

Can you give me an example script?

I tried that but it does not give me the right education.

#8 
local ProximityPromptService = game:GetService("ProximityPromptService")
local door = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("tehdoor")
local menu = script.Parent.Parent
local tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
local pp = door.proximity.ProximityPrompt
--//Objects
local ClosedWaypoint = door.DoorClosed
local OpenedWaypoint = door.DoorOpened
local csound = door.Close
local osound = door.Open
--//Tweening
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Tween = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
local CPOS = {CFrame = ClosedWaypoint.CFrame}
local OPOS = {CFrame = OpenedWaypoint.CFrame}
local CTween = TweenService:Create(door.door, Tween, CPOS)
local OTween = TweenService:Create(door.door, Tween, OPOS)
on = true
-- Detect when prompt is triggered
local function onPromptTriggered(promptObject, player)
	if on == true then
		OTween:Play()
		pp.ActionText = "Close"
		on = false
	else
		CTween:Play()
		pp.ActionText = "Open"
		on = true
	end
end
ProximityPromptService.PromptTriggered:Connect(onPromptTriggered)

Yes, you can use this script.
Prompts are also better because they look clean for me

#9

Just testing it, it’s a bit complicated for me lol

#10

It doesn’t work, do you want me to give a video?

Also what I’m aiming to do is for it to close (proximity prompt or click detector) and teleport the player to another location, then re-open (automatically)

#11

Have you added the proximity prompts in the object or model? I dont think i can give a video sorry

#14

the re-open is easy, but teleporting. You need to make a part inside the elevator thats the same size of the elevator and teleport the player to another location when they touch it

#15

At line 6; its supposed to be:

TOP_DOOR.Position += Vector3.new(0, 0.5, 0)
#20

It’s too ‘big’ apparently, when 10MB is the max size and it is 3MB-

#21

Send some pics or make the video even more shorter

I’m kind of editing the script to make it like the video says:

local ProximityPromptService = game:GetService("ProximityPromptService")
local TOP_DOOR = script.Parent.Parent.Doors.TOP_DOOR
local SIDE_DOOR = script.Parent.Parent.Doors.SIDE_DOOR
local menu = script.Parent.Parent
local tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
local pp = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt
--//Objects
local ClosedWaypoint = door.DoorClosed
local OpenedWaypoint = door.DoorOpened
local csound = door.Close
local osound = door.Open
--//Tweening
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Tween = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
local CPOS = {CFrame = ClosedWaypoint.CFrame}
local OPOS = {CFrame = OpenedWaypoint.CFrame}
local CTween = TweenService:Create(door.door, Tween, CPOS)
local OTween = TweenService:Create(door.door, Tween, OPOS)
on = true
-- Detect when prompt is triggered
local function onPromptTriggered(promptObject, player)
	if on == true then
		OTween:Play()
		pp.ActionText = "Close"
		on = false
	else
		CTween:Play()
		pp.ActionText = "Open"
		on = true
	end
end
ProximityPromptService.PromptTriggered:Connect(onPromptTriggered)

I want a top door to come down, a side door to move along and then it will tp a player somewhere else, then it will do the same as above and open it up.

#23

Hello?

charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

#24

Did you make 6 doors, 2 doors, 2 transparent closed doors and 2 transparent open doors

#25

I made 2 doors, this is my explorer:

I want a top door to come down, a side door to move along and then it will tp a player somewhere else, then it will do the same as above and open it up.

Can you update the script?

local ProximityPromptService = game:GetService("ProximityPromptService")
local TOP_DOOR = script.Parent.Parent.Doors.TOP_DOOR
local SIDE_DOOR = script.Parent.Parent.Doors.SIDE_DOOR
local menu = script.Parent.Parent
local tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
local pp = script.Parent.ProximityPrompt
--//Objects
local ClosedWaypoint = door.DoorClosed
local OpenedWaypoint = door.DoorOpened
local csound = door.Close
local osound = door.Open
--//Tweening
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Tween = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0)
local CPOS = {CFrame = ClosedWaypoint.CFrame}
local OPOS = {CFrame = OpenedWaypoint.CFrame}
local CTween = TweenService:Create(door.door, Tween, CPOS)
local OTween = TweenService:Create(door.door, Tween, OPOS)
on = true
-- Detect when prompt is triggered
local function onPromptTriggered(promptObject, player)
	if on == true then
		OTween:Play()
		pp.ActionText = "Close"
		on = false
	else
		CTween:Play()
		pp.ActionText = "Open"
		on = true
	end
end
ProximityPromptService.PromptTriggered:Connect(onPromptTriggered)

make 4 extra doors, copy paste those 2 doors 2 times, make side and top door clone open and make side and top door clone2 closed

#27

You don’t understand what I’m going for…

I will say it ONE more time. I am sick of writing this…

I want a top door to come down, a side door to move along and then it will tp a player somewhere else, then it will move the side door back to it’s original position and the top door back to it’s original position too.

#28

What are you going for then?
char limit lol
