Why wont my trigger activate on touch?

Asked Jun 1, 2019293 views3 answers

So im creating a game, a sorta adventure/obby game, and im trying to make it so the camera position changes when the trigger is touched for a little tutorial, but it just wont work and I have no idea why! Iv tried this in local and normal script. I have no idea if im just being stupid or i have its completly wrong. Any help will be appreciated iv tried fixing this issue for many days and im way too frustrated (name of the camera block is OrcCamera) code (in normal script in the trigger block):

local camera = workspace.Camera
local cutcamera = workspace.OrcCamera
script.Parent.OnTouched()
	workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
repeat wait()
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = cutcamera.CFrame
script.Thud.Playing = true
wait(3)
script.Thud.Playing = false
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

Ok, I feel bad because the last 2 answers were just as wrong as your original code. Here is a working version of your script. We will need 2 scripts. A server and a local. Lets begin:

SETUP

1)Create a remote event under replicated storage

-Name it "PartTouched"

2)Create a server script under the part

3)Create a local script in StarterGui

4)Make sure you have a sound named "Thud" under the local script

SCRIPTING:

SERVER SCRIPT:

EV = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("PartTouched")

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(obj)
	if not game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(obj.Parent) then return end
	EV:FireClient(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(obj.Parent))
	obj.Parent:MoveTo(obj.Position+Vector3.new(10,0,0)) --So it doesent keep activating
end)

LOCAL SCRIPT:

local plrcam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local cutcam = workspace.OrcCamera

EV = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("PartTouched")

local working = false --This acts as a debounce
EV.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	if working == true then return end
	working = true
	plrcam.CameraType = enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	plrcam.CFrame = cutcam.CFrame
	script.Thud:Play() --You didnt do this right as you said "playing"
	wait(3)
	script.Thud:Stop() --Same here
	plrcam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	working = false
end)

I hope I was able to help you out. With further questions/comments/concerns, feel free to respond to my answer. Happy scripting! ~mc3334

script.Parent.OnTouched() is not a thing

script.Parent.Touched is what your looking for

You would do this

local camera = workspace.Camera
local cutcamera = workspace.OrcCamera

local function moveCam()
workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
repeat wait()
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = cutcamera.CFrame
script.Thud.Playing = true
wait(3)
script.Thud.Playing = false
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(moveCam)

hierarchy? no idea what that is

This wont work. You cant change the camera in a server script

AnonymousJun 1, 2019#

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

function onTouched(hit)
	cam.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(--CFrame Here!)
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

Its outdated and CFrame is used, not CoordinateFrame.
