GetChildren function not working?
local Open = false
local Joe = script.Parent.Parent.Close:GetChildren()
local Bob = script.Parent.Parent.Open:GetChildren()
function Click ()
if Open == false then
if Joe.name == "Part" then
Joe.Transparency = 1
Joe.CanCollide = false
end
if Joe.name == "Window" then
Joe.Transparency = 1
Joe.CanCollide = false
if Bob.name == "Part" then
Bob.Transparency = 0
Bob.CanCollide = true
end
if Bob.name == "Window" then
Bob.Transparency = 0.5
Bob.CanCollide = true
end
end
Open = true
elseif Open == true then
if Joe.name == "Part" then
Joe.Transparency = 0
Joe.CanCollide = true
end
if Joe.name == "Window" then
Joe.Transparency = 0.5
Joe.CanCollide = true
end
if Bob.name == "Part" then
Bob.Transparency = 1
Bob.CanCollide = false
end
if Bob.name == "Window" then
Bob.Transparency = 1
Bob.CanCollide = false
end
Open = false
end
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect (Click)
I click the button and the output shows nothing, this script it also not working, first time trying the GetChildren() function so I hope that's the problem. The function is supposed to find two doors, both having two separate windows in them. When the button is clicked it's supposed to open the door.

The problem here is that the GetChildren function returns a read-only TABLE of the function. You cannot do script.Parent.Parent.Close:GetChildren().Transparency = 1 because it's not that simple. You have to use a for loop to go through each child in Close and perform the action as such.
local Open = false
local Joe = script.Parent.Parent.Close:GetChildren()
local Bob = script.Parent.Parent.Open:GetChildren()
function Click ()
if Open == false then
for _, child in pairs(Joe) do --I assume you are familiar with generic for loops
if child.Name == "Part" then --Capitalize Name, it is the name of a property
child.Transparency = 1
child.CanCollide = false
elseif child.Name == "Window" then --Use elseif instead of multiple if statements
child.Transparency = 1
child.CanCollide = false
end
for _, child in pairs(Bob) do
if child.Name == "Part" then
child.Transparency = 0
child.CanCollide = true
elseif child.Name == "Window" then
window.Transparency = 0.5
window.CanCollide = true
end
Open = true
elseif Open == true then
--You get the point by now
end
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect (Click)
If you are not familiar with generic for loops, check out this article on the Roblox Wiki for help. If you had any problems understanding these concepts, just ask me and I'll edit my response. I hope my answer was helpful! You can upvote and accept it if you thought so.
