{SOLVED}What is wrong with this script?

Asked Jun 9, 2014285 views3 answers

{SOLVED}The following script is supposed to make the part(which the script is in it) to uncheck CanCollide property and make the part's transparency 0 for 5 seconds. Here is the script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(msg)
	if Player.msg == "boss" then
		CanCollide = false
		transparency = 1
		while true do
			wait(5)
			CanCollide = true
			transparency = 0
		end
	end
end

The script is not working, I am new to scripting so you will find lots of mistakes. -Thank you if you answered my question, I will be sure to upvote and accept your answer if it is correct!(SOLVED}

Your function: game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(msg)

Its just calling the function msg when a player comes in, I might be wrong but I'm thinking that you want the door to take cancollide off and change transparency when someone says "boss", Player.msg doesn't mean if the player says _ word it will do _, it does nothing but error. Plus, your not saying what you want to be CanCollide off and transparency 1, from my view, its a part. I also don't get why you used a while true do which means it will just not let you ever make it cancollide off and transparency 1.

Try this:

--Vividex
local p = game.Workspace.Part --Made the part a variable, easier for me

function onChatted(msg, recipient, Speaker)
	if msg == "boss" then
	p.CanCollide = false
	p.Transparency = 1
	wait(5) --waits 5 seconds after saying "boss"
	p.CanCollide = true --after 5 seconds changes the parts cancollide to true
	p.Transparency = 0 --after 5 seconds changes the parts Transparency to 0
	end 
end

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
newPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg, recipient) onChatted(msg, recipient, newPlayer) end)
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)
