ProximityPrompt/Script won't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am currently making a game that has doors and I’m using a ProximityPrompt in order to interact with them.

However when I press E the script and the ProximityPrompt won’t work.

I have tried using youtube and searching up my problem on forums and have gotten no answer

Here is my script that I put inside the door.

local debounce = false
local open = script.Parent.Parent.OpenDoor.Value
local proximityPrompt = script.Parent

proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	if not debounce then
		debounce = true
		if open == true then
			open = false
			game.TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent,TweenInfo.new(1.25,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Door1.CFrame}):Play()
		else
			open = true
			game.TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent,TweenInfo.new(1.25,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0), {CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Door2.CFrame}):Play()
		end
		wait(1.3)
		debounce = false
	end
end)

Have you tried putting print("proximity prompt works") or somerthing in the proximityPrompt.Triggered function and pressing E on the proximity prompt to see if it prints and to see if the function is working correctly?

#4

I have put a print in the script and it didn’t show up in the output.

#5

Replace the following line of code:

local open = script.Parent.Parent.OpenDoor.Value

with:

local open = script.Parent.Parent.OpenDoor

and add .Value at the end of every reference to the variable named “open”. Your issue is occurring because you cannot assign references to properties, to variables.

#6

The script you sent didn’t work

#7

Strange, that didn’t work either

#8

the open is a value?

#9

Yeah, the open is a value a bool value

#10

just to be clear, do any errors show up in the output?

#11 
local debounce = false
local open = script.Parent.Parent.OpenDoor
local proximityPrompt = script.Parent

proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	if debounce == false then
		debounce = true
		if open.Value == true then
			open.Value = false
			game.TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent,TweenInfo.new(1.25,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Door1.CFrame}):Play()
		else
			open.Value = true
			game.TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent,TweenInfo.new(1.25,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0), {CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Door2.CFrame}):Play()
		end
		wait(1.3)
		debounce = false
	end
end)
#12

No errors show up no prints show up in the output

#13

how about this

#14

Then there’s likely some other issue at hand, I just noticed that issue straight away.

#15

Yeah I tried that and it doesn’t work

#16

I’m just not sure what that issue is that’s causing it

#17

well did you check the open value is true

#18

The open value is not true because the door is closed

#19

maybe you could comment each variable out (expect proximityPrompt) one at a time and test the script to see if any of them are preventing the function from running

local debounce = false
local open = script.Parent.Parent.OpenDoor
local proximityPrompt = script.Parent

proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	print("works")
	--if not debounce then
	--	debounce = true
	--	if open.Value then
	--		open.Value = false
	--		game.TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent,TweenInfo.new(1.25,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Door1.CFrame}):Play()
	--	else
	--		open.Value = true
	--		game.TweenService:Create(script.Parent.Parent,TweenInfo.new(1.25,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0), {CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Door2.CFrame}):Play()
	--	end
	--	wait(1.3)
	--	debounce = false
	--end
end)

I’m not sure why it’s not working anymore lol, if you find out which one you can uncomment the code by selecting it and pressing ctrl + /, and you could try to fix the thing that’s causing it

#20

I have tried out what you said and it still doesn’t work. There must be something wrong with my game.

#21

Can you send a screenshot of all the properties inside the proximity prompt?
