How do i make my for loop move my elevator part up?

Asked 313 views1 answers
local ElevatorPlade = script.Parent
local function VirkendeElevator()
	if ElevatorPlade.Parent:FindFirstChild("DarkBrotherhood4") then
		wait(2)
		ElevatorPlade.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
		for Y = 1, 20, 1 do
			ElevatorPlade.Position = Vector3.new(-41.25, Y, -82.875)
		end
	end
end
      


ElevatorPlade.Touched:Connect(VirkendeElevator())

I wanted the Elevator part to move up 20 times like if it was an elevator but when I step on the part it just says "attempt to call a nil value"

Uhm, what are you trying to do at Line 03? Why would you search for your name?

Did you wanted the part to move 20 times slowly or instantly?

Line 03 is fine but it's not really specific but it's fine, it would still work, Line 14 is your mistake, You should remove Open and Close Parentheses

to make your Elevator only goes up, you'd only need to update its Position Y, unless you kind of flipped the brick or something

its something to do with the for loop and position part cause the part does turn red but it doesnt move at all

EDIT: Lemme just point out the possible bug/error in your code

The Open and Close Parentheses :>

Touched:Connect(VirkendeElevator())

This is not really necessary but if you'll create a multiplayer game with many peeps trying to interact with the elevator if ElevatorPlade.Parent:FindFirstChild("DarkBrotherhood4") then

Uhm Static X and Z is fine but not really recommended, The Y is explained at code block. It would work if your Elevator Plate is at exactly Position-Y = 0 , ElevatorPlade.Position = Vector3.new(-41.25, Y, -82.875)

local ElevatorPlade = script.Parent
local function VirkendeElevator()
    if ElevatorPlade.Parent:FindFirstChild("DarkBrotherhood4") then 
        wait(2)
        ElevatorPlade.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
        for Y = 1, 20, 1 do --Let's just say this is only a counter
            ElevatorPlade.Position = Vector3.new(ElevatorPlade.Position.X, ElevatorPlade.Position.Y+1, ElevatorPlade.Position.Z) 
--Y+1 entirely depends to you of how much will you increment its position, Too much will cause the player to miss the platform
        end
    end
end



ElevatorPlade.Touched:Connect(VirkendeElevator)

EDIT: Didn't mean to be harsh, Sorry :>

haha it works but is there a way to make for loops go slower inbetween the increments? Do i just put a wait?

Oh yes, Put wait inside the For Loop :> or you could just make Y increment by 0.1

The third digit in a for loop is the increment the lower it is the smoother it will be https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Roblox-Coding-Basics-Loops
