How would I go about checking if every player is touching a part, and if they are then execute code?
I've exhausted about every bit of my knowledge with Touched and GetTouchingParts(), so I was looking for some advice. I'm trying to make an elevator game and once the level is complete, the door cannot be closed until every player is inside.
I know I should do something with an invisible part and the Touched thing, but I can't think exactly what I should do so that my code is efficient.
What I was hoping for would be sort of like this (after all the necessary setup of course)
if #PlayersTouchingPart == #Players:GetPlayers() then
CloseDoor() --function for closing door
return
else
return
end
Although I've tried this and I just can't get around it. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!

I think your best bet would be to create a table of players that are in the elevator. This could be done by getting the characters that are touching the elevator floor and using Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter()
local PlayersInElevator = {}
for i,v in pairs(Part:GetTouchingParts()) do
local char = v.Parent
if char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
if plr then
table.insert(PlayersInElevator, plr)
end
end
end
With this table of players, you could loop through the list of Players that are in the server, and check if each of them are in the table. Maybe check every half second or so
local function CheckElevatorPlayers()
for i,plr in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
if table.find(PlayersInElevator, plr) == nil
return false --there is a player that isn't in the elevator
end
end
return true
end
And if this function returns true, you know that its safe to use CloseDoor().
It doesn't seem to work. I'll try to provide a better section of code.
Click.MouseClick:Connect(function()
if IsLevelLoaded.Value == true then
if Door.Position == Vector3.new(21.5, 7, -21.5) then
--here would be the check for if every player is in the elevator, (and of course if the level has been completed, which I've already figured out)
MoveDoor(Vector3.new(21.5, 7, -26.5))
Door["close"]:Play()
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(24.5, 6.5, -20.5)
return
end
if Door.Position == Vector3.new(21.5, 7, -26.5) then
MoveDoor(Vector3.new(21.5, 7, -21.5))
Door["open"]:Play()
script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(24.5, 5.5, -20.5)
return
end
print("door is currently in motion")
return
end
print("level is not loaded yet")
end)
