Having an error with a group only door, not sure what the error means exactly?
Basically the door works, but its throwing an error and I have a ton of them in game so its a big deal in the console.
Code:
1 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(ply) |
2 | if game.Players:findFirstChild(ply.Parent.Name) then |
3 | if game.Players[ply.Parent.Name]:IsInGroup(3377124)==true then |
4 | script.Parent.CanCollide = false |
5 | wait(2) |
6 | script.Parent.CanCollide = true |
7 | end |
8 | end |
9 | end) |
Error:
Workspace.Door.Script:2: attempt to index global 'player' (a nil value) Stack Begin Script 'Workspace.Door.Script', Line 2 Stack End

It means that the variable player has a value that is nil, as the error says. This could be caused if the parent of ply is nil, or if ply itself is nil. You can fix this by checking if ply exists and if it has a parent:
1 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(ply) |
2 | if ply and ply.Parent then |
3 | ... |
4 | end |
5 | end) |
The touched event fires when anything touches the part. It can be the baseplate or any other parts that are not character limbs.
To fix this you'll need to check if ply, or hit since that's what I used to refer to a part touching, can find the Humanoid of it's parent. Remember, all characters have a humanoid.
I also use a debounce to make sure our Touch event isn't firing every single time when a part is touching it.
01 | local debounce = true |
02 |
03 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
04 | --First make sure what has hit the door is really a player |
05 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
06 | --Check if they're in group. You can leave the "==true" part out since this will return a bool of either true or false. |
07 | if game.Players[hit.Parent.Name]:IsInGroup(3377124) then |
08 |
09 | --A debounce is used for safety |
10 | if debounce then |
11 | debounce = false |
12 | script.Parent.CanCollide = false |
13 | wait(2) |
14 | script.Parent.CanCollide = true |
15 | debounce = true |
16 | end |
17 | end |
18 | end |
19 | end) |
