Proximity Prompt Script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am currently trying to create a proximity prompt activated door.
The door is supposed to check if they have a keycard, then if they do the door opens.

The issue is the door not opening. But no errors are printed on output.

Script:

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent
local Door = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Door

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	if ProximityPrompt.ActionText == "Open" then
		if player.Character:FindFirstChild('Level_2') or player.Character:FindFirstChild('Level_3') or player.Character:FindFirstChild('Level_4') or player.Character:FindFirstChild('Raider') or player:FindFirstChild('Level_2') or player:FindFirstChild('Level_3') or player:FindFirstChild('Level_4') or player:FindFirstChild('Raider') then
			Door.Transparency = 1
			Door.CanCollide = false
			ProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Close"
			print(player.Name)
		end
	end
end)

My apologies, reading is hard! :grin:

Have you tried print debugging to see what is firing and what is not?

#5

What do you mean???

#6

He means after every if and event statement you print() somethingto make sure it’s getting past

#7

Ok. I will do that right now. Lets find out if it works.

#8

Just place print statements through different parts of the script so you can see what is working and what isn’t.

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent
local Door = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Door

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	if ProximityPrompt.ActionText == "Open" then
		if player.Character:FindFirstChild('Level_2') or player.Character:FindFirstChild('Level_3') or player.Character:FindFirstChild('Level_4') or player.Character:FindFirstChild('Raider') or player:FindFirstChild('Level_2') or player:FindFirstChild('Level_3') or player:FindFirstChild('Level_4') or player:FindFirstChild('Raider') then
            print("Working") -- add these to test 
			Door.Transparency = 1
			Door.CanCollide = false

			ProximityPrompt.ActionText = "Close"
			print(player.Name)
		end
	end
end)

What are you trying to find? A tool? I think the problem is the FIndFirstChild spam, but you need to locate the problem

#10

The problem is the following line:

if player.Character:FindFirstChild('Level_2') or player.Character:FindFirstChild('Level_3') or player.Character:FindFirstChild('Level_4') or player.Character:FindFirstChild('Raider') or player:FindFirstChild('Level_2') or player:FindFirstChild('Level_3') or player:FindFirstChild('Level_4') or player:FindFirstChild('Raider') then
#11

Ah, I see, is it a tool? Because if youre finding the child navigate to the tools the player has (i think)

#12

Yes.
I am trying to find if the person who activated it has a tool.

#13

player.Character.Backpack:FindFirstChild('Level_2')

try this maybe?

#14

Not just for level 2. I want it for level 2 through level 4

#15

Sorry should of clarified* Just add backpack for each one

#16

Did you get the ProximityPromptService?

local ProximityPromptService = game:GetService("ProximityPromptService")

Put this line of code at the start of your script. Let me know if it works.

#17

I don’t want to use the service because I will be using proximity prompt for different things in the game. Not just for opening doors.

#18

I think it is necessary to get the ProximityPromptService when working with ProximityPrompts. Educate me if i am wrong

#19

you need to get the service to even use prompts, and you can use it for different things not just that script btw.

#20

The service isn’t required.

You can do:

script.Parent.Triggered

I don’t mind making new scripts for everything I just need this fixed.
