Need help with when proximity prompt is triggered again

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    When the proximity prompt is triggered, player1 syncs their animation to player2. What I would like to add to the script is logic for if the prompt has already been triggered, then the animation for player1 will stop/return back to normal.

  2. What is the issue?
    I have the first part of the logic down, but not the second part.

Serverscript:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

local function onTriggered(player1, player2)
	print("Triggered on Server")
	remoteEvent:FireAllClients(player1, player2)
end

local function onCharacterAdded(character, player1)
	print("Character Added")
	local ownerPrompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
	ownerPrompt.ActionText = "Join"
	ownerPrompt.Name = "OwnerPrompt"
	ownerPrompt.HoldDuration = 1
	ownerPrompt.ObjectText = "Hold E to join dance!"
	ownerPrompt.RequiresLineOfSight = false
	ownerPrompt.Parent = character.PrimaryPart

	ownerPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player2)
		print("Prompt Triggered")
		onTriggered(player1, player2)
		
	end)
end

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	print("Player Added")
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		onCharacterAdded(character, player)
	end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
print("Server Script Loaded")

ClientScript/LocalScript:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

local function onClientEvent(player1, player2)
	print("Client Event Triggered")
	if player1.Character then
		local track = player1.Character.Humanoid.Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()[1]

		if track and player2.Character then
			print("Playing Animation Track on Client")
			local timeStamp = track.TimePosition :: number
			local track = player2.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(track.Animation)
			track:Play()
			track.TimePosition = timeStamp
			
		end
	end
end

remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(onClientEvent)
print("Client Script Loaded")

Simplified, would that be:
When the prompt is triggered, if the animation is already running then stop it, otherwise run some other code?

#3

That’s what I was thinking, but I’m just not sure where exactly to implement it or what to write — I’m quite new to scripting!

#4

For example, do I put it into the server or local script? I was thinking the serverscript cause that’s where the trigger logic is — but then then sync animation logic is in the LocalScript (which is in StarterPlayerScripts).

I know how to use = not but otherwise I’m not sure how to write out that logic.

#5

You would put it on the server, so it shows for everyone.

#6

Like this?

...

local function onTriggered(player1, player2)
	print("Triggered on Server")
	remoteEvent:FireAllClients(player1, player2)
end

local function onCharacterAdded(character, player1)
	print("Character Added")
	local ownerPrompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
	ownerPrompt.ActionText = "Join"
	ownerPrompt.Name = "OwnerPrompt"
	ownerPrompt.HoldDuration = 1
	ownerPrompt.ObjectText = "Hold E to join dance!"
	ownerPrompt.RequiresLineOfSight = false
	ownerPrompt.Parent = character.PrimaryPart

	ownerPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player2)
		print("Prompt Triggered")
		onTriggered(player1, player2)
		
		else 
	
	player2.Character.Humanoid.Animator:StopAllAnimations()
		
	end)
end

...

I mean, on the server you would put the code for stopping the animation

#8

That is the serverscript. I’m just wondering if I’m doing it correctly.

Not working still :confused:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent

local idle = nil

local function onTriggered(player1, player2)
	print("Triggered on Server")

	remoteEvent:FireAllClients(player1, player2)
	idle = false
end

local function onCharacterAdded(character, player1)
	print("Character Added")
	local ownerPrompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
	ownerPrompt.ActionText = "Join"
	ownerPrompt.Name = "OwnerPrompt"
	ownerPrompt.HoldDuration = 1
	ownerPrompt.ObjectText = "Hold E to join dance!"
	ownerPrompt.RequiresLineOfSight = false
	ownerPrompt.Parent = character.PrimaryPart

	ownerPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player2)
		print("Prompt Triggered")
		if idle == nil then
			onTriggered(player1, player2)
			
		elseif idle == false then
			local track = player2.Character.Humanoid.Animator:GetAnimationTracks()[1]
			local idleTrack = player2.Character.Animate.idle.Animation1:LoadAnimation(track.Animation)

			idleTrack:Play()
		end
		idle = nil
	end)
end

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	print("Player Added")
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		onCharacterAdded(character, player)
	end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
print("Server Script Loaded")
