How do I check a part's position?

Asked by

I'm trying to make a sliding door and I can't figure out how to check for the door's position.

local part = script.Parent
local door = script.Parent.Parent.Door
local debounce = false
local doorfunc = require(script.Parent.Parent.Door.ModuleScript)

    script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        if hit.Parent.level.Value >= 2  then
            if door.Position == Vector3.new(36.925, 2.975, 40.4) then
            doorfunc.Open()
            door.Open:Play()
            elseif door.Position == Vector3.new(36.925, 8.675, 40.4) then
            doorfunc.Close()
            door.Close:Play()
            else print("Position is not found or is either moving")
        end
        end
        if hit.Parent.level.Value <= 1 then
            door.Audio:Play()
        end
        wait(1)
        debounce = false
    end
end)

This is what checks the door's position, but it doesn't function correctly. Also the module script has some tween animations in it to move the door.

debounce is basically a delay so that people can't spam something Zeta_Dev 34 — 3y

Hello, try to not use Vector3.new() which defines new position, try this one:

local part = script.Parent
local door = script.Parent.Parent.Door
local debounce = false
local doorfunc = require(script.Parent.Parent.Door.ModuleScript)

    script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if debounce == false then
        debounce = true
        if hit.Parent.level.Value >= 2  then
            if tostring(door.Position) == "36.925, 2.975, 40.4" then -- Try to not use Vector3.new
            doorfunc.Open()
            door.Open:Play()
            elseif tostring(door.Position) == "36.925, 8.675, 40.4" then
            doorfunc.Close()
            door.Close:Play()
            else print("Position is not found or is either moving")
        end
        end
        if hit.Parent.level.Value <= 1 then
            door.Audio:Play()
        end
        wait(1)
        debounce = false
    end
end)

It is still printing position is not found or is either moving after I applied your edits. Zeta_Dev 34 — 3y
