Way to automatically mount skateboard?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

As the title implies, i’d like the character to mount the skateboard without touching it. is this possible?

#2

What normally makes the player mount the skateboard? Does the touched event fire something?

#3

Would you like the character to mount the skateboard by clicking on it? Do you just want it to be within a specific range?

#4

Yes, the SkateboardPlatform's ‘Touched’ event/signal welds the ‘SkateboardPlatform’ to the touching character.

#5

Any method without physically touching the board with your player model.

If you were to do it with a ProximityPrompt for pressing E it would be:
Local Script:

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local ProximityPromptService = game:GetService("ProximityPromptService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local Skateboard = game.Workspace.Skateboard -- or whatever skateboard is
local SkatePrompt = Instance.new("ProximityPrompt")
SkatePrompt.Parent = Skateboard
-- here you could change whatever preferences you want about the prompt
SkatePrompt.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end)

Server Script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", ReplicatedStorage)

function WeldSkateboard(player)
	 --weld player to the skateboard here
end
RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(WeldSkateboard)

If you want this to be on a mouse click I can write that as well.

#7

Would welding the character to the board automatically enable the controls to the board?

#8

Could you show me what you have for your controls so I can better understand you question?

#9

I’m using roblox’s deprecated SkateboardPlatform.

#10

By connecting it to your object, does it automatically connect?

#11

When a SkateboardPlatform is touched, it locks you to the platform. i was just inquiring if there was an alternative way to lock to the board without touching it.

i think i figured something out, however.

#12

Could you send me your code? This would help me understand this better. Or an example of it***

#13

Nevermind, i figured out my issue… or at least an alternative to the desired solution.
