Script to disable a script in the player - not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Heya, so this is meant to check and disable/enable a script in the player. It doesn’t seem to be working, can anyone help me out? Thanks!

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
	if touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local person = touch.Parent
		local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(person.Name)
		if player.SolidMaterial.Disabled == true then
			player.SolidMaterial.Disabled = false
			player.IceSkating.Disabled = true
		else 
			if player.IceSkating.Disabled == true then
				player.IceSkating.Disabled = false
				player.SolidMaterial.Disabled = true
			end
		end
	end)

I do believe that you’re defining a string value, instead of the actual Instance of the Character Model?

Try this:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
	if touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local person = touch.Parent
		local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(person)
		if player.SolidMaterial.Disabled == true then
            print("On ground")
			player.SolidMaterial.Disabled = false
			player.IceSkating.Disabled = true
		else 
			if player.IceSkating.Disabled == true then
                print("On ice")
				player.IceSkating.Disabled = false
				player.SolidMaterial.Disabled = true
			end
		end
	end)

Heya! Thanks for replying.

It seems to be red underlining the last

end)

As well as this I did mess up my true-false enabled, but it still doesn’t seem to be working. The print functions don’t pop up either, I’m thinking it’s an issue with the last end)

Ooh I see, yeah you need to close all of the end statements properly which I what I didn’t see

This should be fixed:

local debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
	if touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and debounce == false then
        debounce = true
		local person = touch.Parent
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(person)
		if player.SolidMaterial.Disabled == true then
            print("On ground")
			player.SolidMaterial.Disabled = false
			player.IceSkating.Disabled = true

		elseif player.IceSkating.Disabled == true then
            print("On ice")
	        player.IceSkating.Disabled = false
			player.SolidMaterial.Disabled = true
		end
        wait(2)
        debounce = false
	end
end)

I also went ahead & added a debounce so that the Event doesn’t run multiple times when touched

Heya, once again thank you for the help!
Thanks for the debounce also, I’m still very new to scripting.
When the script is run and the player touches the part, this appears in output
13:38:17.759 SolidMaterial is not a valid member of Player “Players.kitkatsncoffee” - Server - Script:8
Nothing seems to be mis spelled. If you could, I would really appreciate help on this!

#6

Hm, where exactly did you put the SolidMaterial and IceSkating scripts in? The Player’s Character?

#7

Yep, just in the character model

Replace with
player.Character.SolidMaterial.Disabled

Some issues to know about this code:

  1. The client doesn’t know that the server is disabling the scripts sometimes, which causes the client to completely bypass the disable.
  2. Disabled completely disables the code from executing, meaning it cannot be ran even if it was re-enabled.
