I want to make it so that when a player touches a door the door allows them to go through then closes by itself. So I wrote up this script and it won’t work. (Keep in mind i’m a noob and this is my first script I wrote all by myself)

game.workspace.Parent.Part = game.Door

game.workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(fucntion()
	
	Door.CanCollide = false
	Door.Transperency = .5
	wait(3)
	Door.CanCollide = true
	Door.Transparency = .5
	
end)

Error code: Workspace.Door.Script:5: Expected ‘)’ (to close ‘(’ at line 3), got ‘Door’ - Studio - Script:5

I don’t know if it’s specifically the reason, but you spelt function wrong.

HA omg i’m an idiot

I don’t think “workspace.Parent” is right.

You spelt function wrong since it says “at line 3” also its a good idea to use local when making varibles

local Door = game.Workspace.Door

Door.Touched:Connect(function()
	
	Door.CanCollide = false
	Door.Transperency = .5
	wait(3)
	Door.CanCollide = true
	Door.Transparency = .5
	
end)

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I get it now. I totally messed up the variable :stuck_out_tongue:

8 
local Door = workspace.Door

why do people do game.Workspace instead of workspace, it is faster

There are no error codes but the script still doesn’t work…

You have a few issues,

local part = workspace.Part
local debounce = false
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        if not debounce then
            Door.CanCollide = false
            debounce = true
	        Door.Transperency = .5
	        wait(3)
	        Door.CanCollide = true
	        Door.Transparency = .5
            debounce = false
        end
    end
end)

You spelled function wrong, part isn’t defined correctly (doing workspace instead of game.Workspace works to), and you need to check if there is actually a player touching the part instead of anything. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I’ve seen debounce before though I’m not entirely sure what it is used for… Could you explain?

Well, yes, obviously, I just didn’t want to do it there.

It just makes ure you don’t end up spamming the server with multiple functions. If you did

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print("Something")
end)

This will constantly spam “Something” so you add a debounce so it won’t spam.

It prevents something from happening for a certain period of time. Its a cooldown.

Though the transparency of the door isn’t changing… And the door always stays open, I tested it pushing a part around into the door.

Edit: nvm I spelled transparency wrong
