Can someone read through this code, it's suppose to make two parts rotate like a double door?

Asked 114 views1 answers

Hey, please can someone check this code?

you can skip these paragraphs but it just gives some context

Basically I'm trying to make two parts rotate at the same time but when I try to run this only the right part moves, I'm assuming this is because the function is only looking at the right part and not including the left part.

At some point I was able to make them both at least move but the left side literally spun around and popped into the same place as the right door where it basically did what the right part was doing (which I guess gave some hope) but I couldn't do anything because I didn't know why it happened.

This bit of code when ran shows only the right part moving


local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local frontdoor = script.Parent

local hingeL = script.Parent.frontdoors.HingeL
local hingeR = script.Parent.frontdoors.HingeR

local prompt = script.Parent.frontdoors.ProximityPrompt

--left

local goalOpen = {}
goalOpen.CFrame = hingeL.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)

local goalClose = {}
goalClose.CFrame = hingeL.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, 0)


--right

local goalOpen = {}
goalOpen.CFrame = hingeR.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)

local goalClose = {}
goalClose.CFrame = hingeR.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, 0)

--play

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)
local tweenOpen = TweenService:Create(hingeL, tweenInfo, goalOpen)
local tweenClose = TweenService:Create(hingeL, tweenInfo, goalClose)

local tweenOpen = TweenService:Create(hingeR, tweenInfo, goalOpen)
local tweenClose = TweenService:Create(hingeR, tweenInfo, goalClose)
	
prompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	if prompt.ActionText == "Close" then
		tweenClose:Play()
		
		prompt.ActionText = "Open"
	else
		
		tweenOpen:Play()
		
		prompt.ActionText = "Close"

	end
end)

hi there!

your issue is you are overriding the same two variables for both doors:

--left

local goalOpen = {}
goalOpen.CFrame = hingeL.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)

local goalClose = {}
goalClose.CFrame = hingeL.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, 0)


--right

local goalOpen = {}
goalOpen.CFrame = hingeR.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)

local goalClose = {}
goalClose.CFrame = hingeR.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, 0)

.. the same with defining the tweening variables

--play

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)
local tweenOpen = TweenService:Create(hingeL, tweenInfo, goalOpen)
local tweenClose = TweenService:Create(hingeL, tweenInfo, goalClose)

local tweenOpen = TweenService:Create(hingeR, tweenInfo, goalOpen)
local tweenClose = TweenService:Create(hingeR, tweenInfo, goalClose)

the solution?

give these variables unique names for both sides

local LeftDoorData = {}
local RightDoorData = {}

-- create left door cframes
LeftDoorData.OpenCFrame =  hingeL.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
LeftDoorData.CloseCFrame =  hingeL.CFrame

-- create right door cframes
RightDoorData.OpenCFrame =  hingeR.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
RightDoorData.CloseCFrame =  hingeR.CFrame

the same with the tween variables

--play

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)
local tweenOpenLeft = TweenService:Create(hingeL, tweenInfo, LeftDoorData.OpenCFrame)
local tweenCloseLeft = TweenService:Create(hingeL, tweenInfo, LeftDoorData.CloseCFrame)

local tweenOpenRight = TweenService:Create(hingeR, tweenInfo, RightDoorData.CloseCFrame)
local tweenCloseRight = TweenService:Create(hingeR, tweenInfo, RightDoorData.OpenCFrame)

.. so the code would look something like this:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local frontdoor = script.Parent

local hingeL = script.Parent.frontdoors.HingeL
local hingeR = script.Parent.frontdoors.HingeR

local prompt = script.Parent.frontdoors.ProximityPrompt

local LeftDoorData = {}
local RightDoorData = {}

-- create left door cframes
LeftDoorData.OpenCFrame =  hingeL.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
LeftDoorData.CloseCFrame =  hingeL.CFrame

-- create right door cframes
RightDoorData.OpenCFrame =  hingeR.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
RightDoorData.CloseCFrame =  hingeR.CFrame

--play

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1)
local tweenOpenLeft = TweenService:Create(hingeL, tweenInfo, LeftDoorData.OpenCFrame)
local tweenCloseLeft = TweenService:Create(hingeL, tweenInfo, LeftDoorData.CloseCFrame)

local tweenOpenRight = TweenService:Create(hingeR, tweenInfo, RightDoorData.CloseCFrame)
local tweenCloseRight = TweenService:Create(hingeR, tweenInfo, RightDoorData.OpenCFrame)

prompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
    if prompt.ActionText == "Close" then
        tweenCloseLeft:Play()
        tweenCloseRight:Play()
        prompt.ActionText = "Open"
    else
        tweenOpenLeft:Play()
        tweenOpenRight:Play()
        prompt.ActionText = "Close"
    end
end)
