How do I get a localpart to disappear when player touches a switch?

Asked 286 views1 answers

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.

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...

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.
