I want to change the property of all the parts in a model
but for some reason every code works but the transparency and the CanCollide
I’ve tried changing the contents of the for in pairs loop but it still won’t work I also tried putting if statements in my function to see if it went transparent but it didn’t.
Here is the code for the parts i’m trying to change
I put it in the ServerScriptService
local block = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Triggered2")
local myBrick = game.Workspace.Triggered2:GetChildren("EventTriggered2")
local CanRun = true
myBrick.CanCollide = true
myBrick.Anchored = true
myBrick.Transparency = 0
local function ImTriggered(part)
local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid and CanRun then
CanRun = false
print("Did it work?")
myBrick.Transparency = .25
wait(.4)
myBrick.Transparency = 0.5
end
wait(.4)
myBrick.Transparency = 0.75
wait(.4)
myBrick.Transparency = 1
myBrick.CanCollide = false
if myBrick.CanCollide == false then
print("Changed")
end
print("It worked!")
wait(3)
CanRun = true
myBrick.CanCollide = true
myBrick.Transparency = 0
end
end
for i,n in pairs(block:GetDescendants())do
if n:isA(block) then
n.Touched:connect(ImTriggered)
end
end
You need to call the function properly, so ImTriggered(Part) to call it. As it is even if it fires it wont have the ‘Part’ variable passed on through the function.
On top of that do you have any error codes in your output? (Rember to post any errors you get when posting as it is extremely useful)
local myBrick = game.Workspace.Triggered2:GetChildren("EventTriggered2")
Should be
local myBrick = game.Workspace.Triggered2:FindFirstChild("EventTriggered2")
GetChildren() returns a table containing all the children of a specific object. By saying myBrick.Transparency = 0.25, you’re essentially doing myBrick[“Transparency”] = 0.25.
You are referencing myBrick in the ImTriggered function, not the part that is actually being touched. Get rid of myBrick all together and replace it in the function with “part”. This way every time the function runs it changes the properties of the correct part, not the first part.
Edit: apologies for not being able to write the correct code, I am currently in school, on my phone.
Edit2: I’m gonna try anyways.
local block = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(“Triggered2”)
local CanRun = true
myBrick.CanCollide = true
myBrick.Anchored = true
myBrick.Transparency = 0
local function ImTriggered(part)
local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)
if humanoid and CanRun then
CanRun = false
print(“Did it work?”)
part.Transparency = .25
wait(.4)
part.Transparency = 0.5
end
wait(.4)
part.Transparency = 0.75
wait(.4)
part.Transparency = 1
part.CanCollide = false
if part.CanCollide == false then
print("Changed")
end
print("It worked!")
wait(3)
CanRun = true
part.CanCollide = true
part.Transparency = 0
end
end
for i,n in pairs(block:GetDescendants())do
if n:isA(block) then
n.Touched:connect(ImTriggered)
end
end
excuse the stupid formatting. Everything I said was the code, not just the code in the code block.
Ohh I see, so you want the parts within Triggered2 to disappear.
Add another parameter when calling ImTriggered like this:
local block = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(“Triggered2”)
local children = block:GetChildren()
local CanRun = true
myBrick.CanCollide = true
myBrick.Anchored = true
myBrick.Transparency = 0
local function ImTriggered(part, brick)
local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)
if humanoid and CanRun then
CanRun = false
print(“Did it work?”)
for i, myBrick in pairs(children) do
myBrick.Transparency = .25
wait(.4)
myBrick.Transparency = 0.5
end
wait(.4)
myBrick.Transparency = 0.75
wait(.4)
myBrick.Transparency = 1
myBrick.CanCollide = false
if myBrick.CanCollide == false then
print(“Changed”)
end
print(“It worked!”)
end
wait(3)
for i, myBrick in pairs(children) do
CanRun = true
myBrick.CanCollide = true
myBrick.Transparency = 0
end
end
end
for i,n in pairs(block:GetDescendants())do
if n:isA(block) then
n.Touched:connect(ImTriggered(n))
end
end
So the code worked but it is starting with the second part, then the third, then the first, then skips to the fourth and fifth. Do you know why that is. I tweaked the n.Touched:connect(ImTriggered(n)) and removed the n because it was returning nil.
That is because whichever part was loaded first in is first into the table, which due to a new update is now random. Does it need to happen in a specific order? If I wrote the code correctly all parts should disappear and reappearing seemingly instantaneously together.
Yea because i’m making trying to make an obby and one of the obstacles is the disappearing platform.
I want to make it so that if you step on a platform it disappears. I could make them individually but I don’t want a whole lot of parts in my workspace.
Forget everything I previously had in this text. The issue isn’t anything I thought it was. This one script is still handling the previous block while you step on a new block. Roblox scripts can’t multi-thread. Put a print for when CanRun is out back to true, it doesn’t happen until the block is back, which means the new block can’t be enacted on until the block behind it is visible again.
So you’re either going to want to put a script in each individual block, or perhaps use collectionService which lets multiple tagged instances run off of one script and not interfere.
Glad to help! May I also add it is 10x easier to make a script with it for this scenario. Just have the function for when the part is touched, no loops needed, no GetChildren needed, no more redundancy…
