http://prntscr.com/63quna - I have no clue how to add the script here like it is in the Studio, so I screenshoted it, is there any way to make it smoother...?Like just to close and open smoother?

For future reference; to add the script here, click the blue Lua button, and then copy/paste your code inside of it. The Globe button also supports hyperlinks. adark 5487 — 9y

You can also use pastebin.com for hosting code that we can edit. adark 5487 — 9y

Since I'm too lazy to rewrite all of that code, I'll explain my method instead, using placeholder CFrame stuff.

waits in ROBLOX always way at least .03 seconds. Your waits do that, too, even though you set them smaller. This is a hard limit that cannot be changed globally.

The easiest way to go about this is to use something called a time delta:

--This is a purely linear interpolation. It may not look very pretty, but it will work.
local openTime = 4 --seconds

local openTarget = CFrame.new(0, 5, 0)*CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi, 0)
local closedTarget = CFrame.new(0, -3, 8)

local deb = false
local open = false

local door = script.Parent

function toggleDoor()
    local dt = 0
    local t = tick()

    initial = open and openTarget or closedTarget
    final = open and closedTarget or openTarget

    local done = false
    while not done do
        dt = tick() - t
        local newTarget = {}
        if dt/openTime < 1 then
            for i = 1, 12 do
                newTarget[i] = initial[i] + (final[i] - initial[i])*(dt/openTime)
            end
            -- initial + (final-initial)*(percentage) = initial + (totalDisplacement)*(percentage)
            -- = initial + percentageDisplaced = currentPosition
        else
            newTarget = final
            done = true
        end
        door.CFrame = CFrame.new(newTarget[1], newTarget[2], newTarget[3],
                                    newTarget[4], newTarget[5], newTarget[6],   
                                    newTarget[7], newTarget[8], newTarget[9],
                                    newTarget[10], newTarget[11], newTarget[12],)
        wait()
    end
end

do
    local x, y, z, R00, R01, R02, R10, R11, R12, R20, R21, R22 = openTarget:components()
    openTarget = {x, y, z, R00, R01, R02, R10, R11, R12, R20, R21, R22}

    local x, y, z, R00, R01, R02, R10, R11, R12, R20, R21, R22 = closedTarget:components()
    closedTarget = {x, y, z, R00, R01, R02, R10, R11, R12, R20, R21, R22}
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function()
    if deb then return end
    deb = true
    toggleDoor()
    open = not open
    deb = false
end)
