Hello dear developers !
Here is the situation:
Alright so, imagine a server in which you need to make doors. Their script will be translated into:
function ToggleDoor()
--code of the door
end
I am not asking help about the script but about how I could manage these doors. 3 situations:
Situation 1
I have 45 doors within my map. They are all in a folder called Doors whose parent is the workspace directly.
Each of these doors has a script containing the following:
--SCRIPT PARENTED TO THE DOOR MODEL
local State: boolean, debounce: boolean = false, false
function ToggleDoor()
--code of the door
end
script.Parent.Door.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
if not debounce then
debounce = true
State = not State
ToggleDoor()
task.wait(1)
debounce = false
end
end)
As said, the program itself isn’t important, hence the fact I didn’t write it down. It is only an example!
It means you have 45 scripts running the same piece of code. Modifying it is kind of a nightmare.
Situation 2
Same configuration as Situation 1, but now, I decided to add a ModuleScript in ServerScriptService.
I now have 45 script, each parented to a door, and one module in SSS:
--SCRIPT PARENTED TO THE DOOR MODEL
local State: boolean, debounce: boolean = false, false
local module = require(game.ServerScriptService.ModuleScript)
script.Parent.Door.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
if not debounce then
debounce = true
State = not State
module:ToggleDoor(script.Parent, State)
task.wait(1)
debounce = false
end
end)
--MODULESCRIPT IN SSS
local module = {}
function module:ToggleDoor(DoorModel: Model, State: boolean)
--code of the door
end
return module
Situation 3
I have my 45 doors, all parented into a folder called Doors, itselfparented in workspace. I only use 1 script to manage them all !
I have 1 script in ServerScriptService:
--SCRIPT IN SERVERSCRIPTSERVICE
function ToggleDoor(DoorModel: Model, State: boolean)
--code of the door
end
for _, DoorModel: Model in pairs(workspace.Doors:GetChildren()) do
local State: boolean, debounce: boolean = false, false
DoorModel.Door.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
if not debounce then
debounce = true
State = not State
ToggleDoor(DoorModel, State)
task.wait(1)
debounce = false
end
end)
end
We may try to combine this with an actor, to desync the code.
