Staff Door Scripting Issue?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#23

Are you trying to use an invisible door for the script? Like Transparency set to 1.

#24

Did you check that in the script the Path of the Door is correctly defined? Maybe the Staff Door is not named “Door”. You may want to check it out.

#25

Yes. The door is named “Door” with a capital D. And yes, my staff door is transparent.

#26

Many of you are stating a wrong reason for using a player added function ,you don’t really need to add a player added function, this is simple do like this

local canwork = true
local groupId = 0000

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        if player:GetRankInGroup(groupId) > 4 and canwork == true then
            canwork = false
            script.Parent.CanCollide = true
            task.wait(1)
            script.Parent.CanCollide = false
            canwork = true
        end
    end
end)

This is how you do it, you don’t actually do player added function ,I would say its a misleading thing to tell others, if your not sure about it

#27

You shouldn’t use folders when your going for a kind of a door, you should go for CollectionService

#28

My personal opinion would be better if you used :Destroy() instead of CanCollide. Even though it’s almost the same, it may work.

local group
local rank
local LocalPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if LocalPlayer:GetRankInGroup(group) >= rank then 
	local door
	
	door:Destroy()
	print("allowed")
	
else
	print("nope")
end

Try adding values to the variables!

#29

There’s no reason for the script in the original post not to work. Just make sure that: it’s in StarterPlayerScripts and that it references the door properly. Naming a child of an object the same as its parent can cause some referencing issues, to get around this you’d want to do Door[“Door”]. If you want to have more than one staff door, you could put all the doors in a folder and use a for loop or you could use Collection Service. If nothing works in the end, you can contact me in and I’d be happy with taking a look in studio myself to try and fix the problem.

use groupService

local GroupService = game:GetService("GroupService")
local doorPart = script.Parent

local groupId = 10250221
local minimumRank = 4

doorPart.Touched:Connect(function(Player)
	if game.Players:FindFirstChild(Player.Parent.Name) then
		local Playerv2 = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Player.Parent.Name)

		local GroupInfo = GroupService:GetGroupsAsync(Playerv2.UserId)
		print(GroupInfo)
	end
	print("AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY IS NOTHING PRINTING")
end)
#31

ok finished script is:

local GroupService = game:GetService("GroupService")
local doorPart = script.Parent

local groupId = 10250221
local minimumRank = 4

doorPart.Touched:Connect(function(Player)
	if game.Players:FindFirstChild(Player.Parent.Name) then
		local Playerv2 = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Player.Parent.Name)

		local GroupInfo = GroupService:GetGroupsAsync(Playerv2.UserId)
		
		
		for i, Groups in pairs(GroupInfo) do
			if Groups.Id == groupId then
				if Groups.Rank >= minimumRank then
					doorPart.Transparency = 1
					doorPart.CanCollide = false
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

Ye, i tested it and it works yay

Edit:

Wait nvm its not local script so it will be transparent to all players AAAAAAAAAAA

ok you can just use RemoteEvents

#33

Hey, are you still experiencing issues? I can send you over a script/feedback that may help you more.

#34

I’m keeping it basic as I don’t want to explain how CollectionService works.

The way I showed is simple and easier to understand. Inserting the script in every door isn’t ideal, and they’d also be using a normal script, which would mean when the door is uncollided via the normal script, it’s uncollided for even those who aren’t authorized to go in the area. This is why I recommend using the method I showed, and if you know CollectionService you can easily implement it on your own.
