Script not making part cancollidable?
I made this script which goes in a brick. The script should check in startergui if the gui stated in it has the text "-[Completed]." If the text says completed then the brick would be cancollidable.
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if debounce == false then
wait()
debounce = true
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent)
if player and Startergui.Quests[player.Name].Frame6.quest6.Value == "-[Completed]" then
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
wait(.5)
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
end
--I placed the debounce inside the if statement, so that it only gets reset by the function call that set it
wait(2)
debounce = false
end
end)

You're referencing the GUI the player originally gets, rather than the one he currently has. You'll want to reference the PlayerGui rather than StarterGui. The code should look something like this:
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if debounce == false then
wait()
debounce = true
local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent)
if player and player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").Quests[player.Name].Frame6.quest6.Value == "-[Completed]" then
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
wait(.5)
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
end
--I placed the debounce inside the if statement, so that it only gets reset by the function call that set it
wait(2)
debounce = false
end
end)
This is what I got from your post at least. Reply to this if your situation is different.

Not sure why it didn't work. So basically the Frame6.quest6 is a gui which normally says "-None" but if you touch a brick then it changes to "-[Completed]." So I want the block to only become cancollidable if the gui says Completed but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. blingmcqueen 8 — 6y

Alright, if you can edit the script so that I can see the part that changes the text in the GUI I could help you further. SystemFormat 149 — 6y
