How do I get a localpart to disappear when player touches a switch?
I have got a localpart that loads into my game when the player connects, I have used the script off of the wiki page to do this:
local container = Workspace:FindFirstChild("LocalBin")
if not container then
container = Instance.new("Camera")
container.Name = "LocalBin"
container.Parent = Workspace
end
local platform = Instance.new("playerdoor")
platform.CFrame = platform.CFrame * CFrame.new(23, 3.5, -119.5)
platform.Anchored = true
platform.Size = Vector3.new(2, 7, 7)
platform.Parent = container
and it worked perfectly. The localpart shows up for the client just as I wanted, however I tried to add a switch that the player could touch in order to make the localpart disappear when the player completes a task, but it does not run the script when touched, and no error comes into the output either...
This is the script I placed into the switch block
function touch()
game.Workspace.LocalBin.playerdoor.Transparency = 1
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(touch)

playerdoor is not a valid Instance. Line 8. M39a9am3R 3210 — 9y

Yees ignore that part, I changed the playerdoor's back to 'Part', and the first script works perfectly well, I'm just still struggling to get the touch switch to communicate with the localpart... mrcool2 75 — 9y

you could have the lever script alert the local script with events. This might not be the most efficient way, but here's an example:
--script
local event = Instance.new("RemoteEvent",game.ReplicatedStorage)
event.Name = "lever touched"
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
event:FireClient(player,player)
end
end)
--local script
local container = workspace:FindFirstChild("LocalBin")
if not container then
container = Instance.new("Camera")
container.Name = "LocalBin"
container.Parent = workspace
end
local platform = Instance.new("Part")
platform.CFrame = platform.CFrame * CFrame.new(23, 3.5, -119.5)
platform.Anchored = true
platform.Size = Vector3.new(2, 7, 7)
platform.Parent = container
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("lever touched")
event.OnClientEvent:connect(function(p)
container.playerdoor.Transparency = 1
end)
--This isn't tested, so let me know if you encounter any problems with it.
