How do I make this code activate a cutscene by clicking on a part?

So I have made a button that has a ClickDetector and the script, but the problem is that it doesn't work from me simply clicking on the button.

Many tutorials on YouTube cover how to do activate cutscenes by touching the part but I don't want that, when I look at this code, I don't know what a single strip of code does because I have very basic coding skills and this is from a cutscene plugin from Ozzypig, once again no tutorials on YouTube on how to do this.

01--name of cutscene
02cutscene_id = "Cutscene1"
03 
04--"infinite"    = show whenever button is pressed
05--"spawn"       = show once per spawn
06--"enter"       = show once per gameplay
07show_rule = "infinite"
08 
09--if show_rule is "infinite", how long after the end of showing the cutscene can they see it again?
10debounce_time = 1

14button = script.Parent
15ls = button.CutsceneLocalScript

17d = false

19function showCutscene(player, sync)
20    local n = ls:clone()
21    n.Parent = player.Backpack
22    if not sync then while n.Parent do wait() end end
23end
24 
25function getTags(p)
26    local cs = p:FindFirstChild("Cutscenes")
27    if not cs then
28        cs = Instance.new("IntValue", p)
29        cs.Name = "Cutscenes"
30    end
31    return cs
32end
33 
34function checkTag(p)
35    return getTags(p):FindFirstChild(cutscene_id)
36end
37 
38function setTag(p)
39    local t = Instance.new("IntValue", getTags(p))
40    t.Name = cutscene_id
41end
42 
43function hasSeenCutsceneEnter(player) return checkTag(player) end
44function hasSeenCutsceneSpawn(player) return checkTag(player.Character) end
45 
46function recSeenCutsceneEnter(player) setTag(player) end
47function recSeenCutsceneSpawn(player) setTag(player.Character) end

52    if not player then return end
53    --check already watching
54    if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(ls.Name) then return end
55    --check debounce
56    if d then return end d = true
57 
58    if show_rule == "enter" then
59        if not hasSeenCutsceneEnter(player) then
60            showCutscene(player)
61            recSeenCutsceneEnter(player)

The context is that a player clicks on the button to solve a puzzle, therefore triggering this cutscene where the camera goes from Point A to Point B, I also added a sound id in the model but I don't where to put the code in to set it off.

Hey there, first of all my suggestion for you is to get better at scripting instead of using premade stuff like plugins, models or scripts from the internet. Because if you dont understand the code and you want to change something you will have to ask people again. I would buy some books about coding and read them. For example the advanced coding book made by Heath Haskins. Also once you are able to script a little go to discord servers and go into a voice chat. Then talk to people ask questions and show people your code and get some feedback.

Now to your question.

put a folder in workspace wich is called CutsceneParts
put your part a and part b into that folder. IMPORTANT: call the first part a and the second one b | excactly how I wrote the names here | and make sure to Anchor them and set Transparency to 1
Put a part in workspace and name it StartCutcenePart
Add a ClickDetector to StartCutcenePart
put a local script into StarterPlayer>StarterPlayerScripts

then paste the following code:

01--Variables--
02 
03local CP = workspace.StartCutcenePart --workspace.StartCutcenePart is a reference to the part activating the cutscene. put your Parts name instead of StartCutcenePart--
04local CD = CP.ClickDetector --The ClickDetector
05local Cam = workspace.CurrentCamera --Camera
06local CutsceneFolder = workspace.CutsceneParts -- The CutsceneFolder
07local TimeBetweenEachCutscenePart = 4 -- The time the Tween("Animation") between point a and b takes
08local playing = false --A variable to debounce
09local TS = game:GetService("TweenService") -- Tweenservice
10local TI = TweenInfo.new(TimeBetweenEachCutscenePart,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.InOut) --Creating the Tweeninfo
11 
12--functions--
13local function StartCutscene(start,destination) -- a function called StartCutscene
14    Cam.CameraType = "Scriptable" --setting the cameramode to "Scriptable"
15    if CutsceneFolder:FindFirstChild(destination) and CutsceneFolder:FindFirstChild(start) then --check if the block the animation should tween to and from is found
16        if playing == false then --Checks if the cutscene has been activated already if not it will play the cutscene
17            playing = true --Sets playing to true
18            Cam.CFrame = CutsceneFolder:FindFirstChild(start).CFrame -- Setting the Cameras CFrame to part a (or your starting part)
19            local Tween = TS:Create(Cam,TI,{CFrame = CutsceneFolder:FindFirstChild(destination).CFrame}) --Creating the Tween
20            Tween:Play() --Playing the Tween
21            Tween.Completed:Wait() -- Waits until the Tween has been finished
22            Cam.CameraType = "Custom" --Sets the cameramode back to custom
23            playing = false -- sets playing to false
24        end
25    end
26end
27 
28 
29--Main--
30CD.MouseClick:Connect(function() 
31    StartCutscene("a","b") --When the player clicks on the part the Function will run
32end)

100% true. You can't code if you don't know how. cancle5 120 — 4y

Basically, first add a click detecter too the part.

If you want to start to make advanced stuff like this first you needa learn scripting and get the basics.

Also the folowing code you used wont work as needed and i suggust using something else You can use this

1local part = -- the part
2local detecter = part.ClickDetecter
3 
4detecter.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
5    -- the script
6end)

or you can just easily change the function of your script I don't think this script would work and i would make it differently.

If ya need some help you can dm me discord cancle5#0035
