This is the second scripting support ive posted in 5 days. . .yay. . .

anyway, i am trying to make a door open when you hit it with a keycard, BUT (theres always a but), it will not work. at all. i tried to make it print stuff to see where it was stuck and i got the answer. . .

print("1")
local parkAccessories = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Park Accesories")
local Part = parkAccessories:FindFirstChild("KeycardDoor").DoorPart
local keycardDoor = parkAccessories:FindFirstChild("KeycardDoor")
local slide = keycardDoor:FindFirstChild("Slide") 

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService") 

local TweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
		2,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		1,
		false,
		1
) 

local goal = {Position = keycardDoor:FindFirstChild("DoorOpen").Position}
local reverseGoal ={Position = keycardDoor:FindFirstChild("DoorClose").Position}
	
local Tween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo, goal)

local reverseTween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo, reverseGoal)
print("2")

slide.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent.Name == "Keycard" then
		print("3")
		Tween:Play()
		wait(3)
		reverseTween:Play()
		print("4")
	end
end)

it only gets to “1”
i cant figure out why it will not work the rest of the way. i have spent many days trying to figure this out.
what am i doing wrong???

Are you getting any errors? You can check them in the Output

That’s surely because one of your variable between the 1 and 2 didn’t found the referenced instance.

Wait i just noticed that the goals of the tweens are wrong.

local goal = {Position = game.Workspace["Park Accesories"].KeycardDoor.DoorOpen.Position}
local reverseGoal = {Position = game.Workspace["Park Accesories"].KeycardDoor.DoorClose.Position}

you could not be getting the first variable correctly. try to use findfirstchild when indexing

local Part = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Park Accesories"):FindFirstChild("KeycardDoor"):FindFirstChild("DoorPart")

this will at least give yoiu an error

yes,

i looked around for what this error was but all the things i found said it was because it was a model, but the part DoorPart isnt a model.

It can help you where the script is failing and pinpoint:

print("1")

local parkAccessories = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Park Accesories")
if not parkAccessories then
    warn("Park Accesories not found in Workspace")
    return
end

local keycardDoor = parkAccessories:FindFirstChild("KeycardDoor")
if not keycardDoor then
    warn("KeycardDoor not found in Park Accesories")
    return
end

local Part = keycardDoor:FindFirstChild("DoorPart")
if not Part then
    warn("DoorPart not found in KeycardDoor")
    return
end

local slide = keycardDoor:FindFirstChild("Slide")
if not slide then
    warn("Slide not found in KeycardDoor")
    return
end

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local TweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
        2,
        Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
        Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
        1,
        false,
        1
)

local goal = keycardDoor:FindFirstChild("DoorOpen")
if not goal then
    warn("DoorOpen not found in KeycardDoor")
    return
end

local reverseGoal = keycardDoor:FindFirstChild("DoorClose")
if not reverseGoal then
    warn("DoorClose not found in KeycardDoor")
    return
end

local Tween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo, {CFrame = goal.CFrame})
local reverseTween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo, {CFrame = reverseGoal.CFrame})

print("2")

slide.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print("Slide touched")
    if hit.Parent and hit.Parent.Name == "Keycard" then
        print("3")
        Tween:Play()
        wait(3)
        reverseTween:Play()
        print("4")
    else
        print("Touched by: " .. tostring(hit.Parent.Name))
    end
end)

apologies if im tripping, but why are you defining a goal as an OBJECT and not the property

goals should look like:

{Position = DoorClose.Position}

btw, can we see a screenshot of your explorer?

i tried this and it got to “4” but the tweens didnt play and there were no warnings

edit: i made some changes and figured out that the tweens dont work, i guessed that before but now i have confirmation. still cant figure out why they dont work

#11

show us your code, otherwise we can’t help you much

#12

Let me know if this works.

-- this script is in ServerScriptService
print("1")

local Part = game.Workspace["Park Accesories"].KeycardDoor.DoorPart

local slide = game.Workspace["Park Accesories"].KeycardDoor.Slide

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local TweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
		2,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		1,
		false,
		1
)

local goal = game.Workspace["Park Accesories"].KeycardDoor.DoorOpen.Position

local reverseGoal = game.Workspace["Park Accesories"].KeycardDoor.DoorClose.Position
	
local Tween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo, goal)

local reverseTween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo, reverseGoal)

print("2")

slide.Touched:Connect(function(hit) 
	if hit.Parent.Name == "Keycard" then
		print("3")
		Tween:Play()
		wait(3)
		reverseTween:Play()
		print("4")
	end
end)
#13

its in the first topic.
the only change i made was adding print("tween failed to play") if it had failed (which it had)

  1. Typo in variable name:
    It seems like there is a typo in your code where you define the reverseGoal table. You have written Postition instead of Position. This typo might prevent the reverseTween from executing correctly.
print("1")

local Part = game.Workspace["Park Accesories"].KeycardDoor.DoorPart
local slide = game.Workspace["Park Accesories"].KeycardDoor.Slide
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local TweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
    2,
    Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
    Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
    1,
    false,
    1
)

local goal = { Position = game.Workspace["Park Accesories"].KeycardDoor.DoorOpen.Position }
local reverseGoal = { Position = game.Workspace["Park Accesories"].KeycardDoor.DoorClose.Position }

local Tween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo, goal)
local reverseTween = TweenService:Create(Part, TweenInfo, reverseGoal)

print("2")

slide.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent.Name == "Keycard" then
        print("3")
        Tween:Play()
        wait(3)
        reverseTween:Play()
        print("4")
    end
end)
#15

where did you place the print??

#16

this sounds ai generated, and there was never a typo (if my brain didnt fail me)

#17
