Trying to make a door that only lets you pass if you have a certain tool. It works in studio, but wont work in game despite the fact I've had it in a script and a localscript. This is the code.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(player)
local tool = player.Backpack.Ticket
if tool ~= nil then
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
wait(.5)
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
else
end
end)
the Touched event does not automatically send the player as a parameter. Instead, it sends the part that touched script.Parent
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) --checks if a player's limb touched it, then gets its player.
if player then
local tool = player.Backpack.Ticket
if tool then -- "~= nil" is not necessary
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
wait(.5)
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
end -- "else" wasn't necessary either.
end
end)
You needed to define the player by using GetPlayerFromCharacter:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(p)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(p.Parent) --You needed to get the player who touched it.
local tool = player.Backpack:WaitForChild("Ticket")
if tool ~= nil then
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
wait(.5)
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
else
end
end)
Please accept my answer if this helped!
