I am making a keycard door from prison life 0.6, with my own code. Unfortunately adding the sound thing might have the problem, but I want it to play if the keycard touches the scanner.

Code:

view source
01script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
02 if hit.Parent.Name == "Admissions Keycard" then
03  script.Parent.keyscanner.Union.CanCollide = false
04  script.Parent.keyscanner.Union.Transparency = 1
05  script.Parent.Sound.Playing = true
06  wait(2)
07  script.Parent.Sound.Playing = false
08  script.Parent.keyscanner.Union.CanCollide =  true
09  script.Parent.keyscanner.Union.Transparency = 0
10 end
11end)

Any fixes?

Note I want the "scan" part material to neon, then 2 seconds and go back to smoothplastic.

Theres a simple fix to this. According to the API page, the property Playing only indicates if the sound is playing or not. I would guess that you can't actually make it play by changing that variable.

Instead, try doing this:

view source
1local Sound = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Sound") --Making sure its loaded in
2 
3Sound:Play() --play the sound
4 
5wait(2)
6 
7Sound:Stop() --stop the sound

Hope this helped.

Well actually hit.Parent recognizes it as the 'Handle' part, but you said it was the tools name, which is actually hit.Parent.Parent.

Actually thats false information hit is the part that touches the key card and the parent of hit would be the tool Prestory 1395 — 5y

Wait, then what would hit.Parent.Parent be? Cvllapse 30 — 5y

Use instead .Playing > :Play() or :Stop()
