ClickDetector Isn't Working when it just was?

Asked 213 views1 answers

I'm making a carlift for my friend and I tried making it so that when you click a button it would make a wall collidable and visible. But for some reason it isnt working. Here's the script(s): (This LocalScript is in StarterGui to make sure it doesn't conflict with anything)

local Wall = game.Workspace.Wall1

Wall.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	game.Workspace.Wall1Event:FireServer()
end)

(This script is in Workspace)

local Wall = game.Workspace.Wall1

script.Parent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	if Wall.CanCollide == false then
		Wall.CanCollide = true
	else
		Wall.CanCollide = false
	end
	
	if Wall.Transparency == 1 then
		Wall.Transparency = 0.45
	else
		Wall.Transparency = 1
	end
end)

Here is my explorer: https://imgur.com/a/w5zgTT3

Try putting the remote event in ReplicatedStorage and the server script (second script) in ServerScriptService. Change stuff to fit in like "script.Parent" to "game.ReplicatedStorage.Wall1Event".

ClickDetectors can be accessed by both the Server and Client, so there is no need for a RemoteEvent. You can simply have a single Script control the door's functions. Here's an example of this that you can use as a reference to fix your issue.

Here is the Explorer

Here is the Script

local button = script.Parent
local door = button.Parent.Door
local ClickDetector = button.ClickDetector
local visible = true -- Current state of the door

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
	if visible then
		visible = false
		door.Transparency = 1
		door.CanCollide = false
	else
		visible = true
		door.Transparency = 0
		door.CanCollide = true
	end
end)

If you have any questions or problems with this answer, let me know. I'd be happy to clarify or fix it.

Hope this helps!
