Button only spawning individual parts, not model?

Asked 228 views1 answers

Before I identify the problem, I do want to point out what I am trying to achieve- A hidden button that on touch makes a model (platform, in my case) appear and be able to be walked on, kind of like how the Roblox game-myth "Memories" works. I want this button to simply make it appear and to become unusable once the button has been activated, if that makes any sense. If I need to clarify anything, please let me know.

My current script:

bob = script.Parent.Parent.Part

function onTouch(part)
bob.Transparency = 0
bob.CanCollide = true
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

The problem with it is that the script only allows me to spawn in individual parts and when I try to tell it to spawn in a model, it simply doesn't work.

Anyone know how to help?

What Im trying to do is have a model either already in workspace be set to transparency 0 and cancollide or something that does a similar job, if possible.

Your problem is that Models cannot regulate transparency, nor set CanCollide to true/false. Instead of that, you should put this:

bob = script.Parent.Parent.Part
 
function onTouch(part)
	for k,v in pairs(bob:GetChildren()) do
		v.Transparency = 0
		v.CanCollide = true
	end
end
 
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

This will get all parts in the Model, and turn their transparency to 0, and allow them to collide.

Hope it helps!

What this script does it looks through all the parts in the model bob and sets their transparency to 0 and turns CanCollide off, and it happens when the player touches the part
