How to disable script when a part is not touched?

Asked by

What I'm trying to do: Enable the script if I stay on the platform and disable the script if I leave the platform(part).

local Player = game:GetService("Players")
local debounce = false

function Touched(hit)
    if debounce == false then
        local player = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        player:FindFirstChild("StarterGui").Animations.AnimationList.Animationcontroller.Disabled = false
        debounce = true
    end
end

function TouchEnded(hit)
    if debounce == true then
        local player = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        player:FindFirstChild("StarterGui").Animations.AnimationList.Animationcontroller.Disabled = true
        debounce = false
    end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Touched)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(TouchEnded)

But the studio says:

Workspace.Plot.Disabler:7: attempt to index nil with 'FindFirstChild'

I don't know what to do any suggestions?

The players gui isn't called StarterGui. It is called PlayerGui. StarterGui is the gui players are given upon joining the game.

hit.parent might not be the character check if it is the players character first? EnzoTDZ_YT 275 — 3y

So I figured out the findFirstchild problem but the script keeps rapidly enable/disable when I touch the part(Plot).

local Player = game:GetService("Players")
local debounce = false

function Touched(hit)
    if debounce == false then
        local player = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        game:GetService("StarterGui").Animations.AnimationList.Animationcontroller.Disabled = false
        debounce = true
    end
end

function TouchEnded(hit)
    if debounce == true then
        local player = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        game:GetService("StarterGui").Animations.AnimationList.Animationcontroller.Disabled = true
        debounce = false
    end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(Touched)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(TouchEnded)
