Scripting problem

[hollow crow]

I got a problem in my script. I'm new so some advice would be appreciated. I'm tryna script a character touching a door and that door would open in a 90 degree angle. I thought of touch part = cframe.angle. This ius what i did for the handle of the part and I set up the door and the handle of the door into one folder. I also wanted to try to make both the handle and the door move at the same location

local ClickDetector = script.Parent
ClickDetector.Touched:Connect(function(ClickDetector)
if ClickDetector.Touched then
ClickDetector = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
end
end)

Print(“hi”)

[hollow crow]

ok

yea it works

but the cframe isnt rotating

also i'm having trouble tryna move both the handle and the door

What CFrame.Angles() does is it creates a new instance of A CFrame, with only rotational components, (0,0,0) in the positional one (moving it to the origin). You would want to get the CFrame of the Door, and apply

[hollow crow]

so i would need to move the door into the origin>

?

This is a script that I already made that rotates a cube, it doesn't exactly apply, but it should help a bit
local cube = script.Parent.WireframeCube
cube.PrimaryPart = cube:FindFirstChild("Cube.001")
local cf = cube:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
local rotation = CFrame.Angles(0, math.pi/4, 0)
while true do
cf *= rotation
cube:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cf)
task.wait(0.5)
print("Hello!")
end

[static charm]

local function hi()
Print(“dude”)
End

It will work

[austere shuttle]

It selects a part in the cube to act as the "PrimaryPart" (the one we look at to get the CFrame). It then creates a rotational CFrame, which it then repeatedly applies the rotation to the primary part's CFrame (cf *= rotation) and then sets the CFrame of the cube to the new CFrame (cube:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cf)

If you want a better understanding of CFrames, you should watch the first 4 episodes of this series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNk_zzaMoSs&list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2xVFitgF8hE_ab) and read this article (https://devforum.roblox.com/t/comprehensive-beginners-guide-to-cframes-and-how-to-use-them-cframe-guide/1334085)

Bro wtf are these scrips

[rustic wedge]

W script

[hollow crow]

alr thanks

[lyric aspen]

** You are now Level 1! **

[hollow crow]

much appreciated

[rustic wedge]

Btw a clickdetector isnt a basepart so it cant be touched. Tou would have to use mouseclick instead

[static charm]

Learning heh

[rustic wedge]

You also cant set the cframe of a click detrctor

[hollow crow]

at first I tried to make it so that a mouse button click on the object would make it rotate but it was way too complex for me so i decided to just run touch

[oak ridge]

so i think the best way to do this would be to have a Weld connecting the door to the frame

and change the c0 to open/close it

[rustic wedge]

Local CD = script.Parent
Local door = ur door instance here

CD.MouseClick:Connect(function()

    Door.CFrame = Door.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)

end)

I’m typing on phone so it hard

[oak ridge]

that would rotate the door along it's center

and this assumes the door is a basepart

[rustic wedge]

Ik

U would have to mane a hinge

[static charm]

no no guys

[rustic wedge]

And weld the door to the hinge

And weld the doorknob to the door

[hollow crow]

is that on script? i tried to union it but it wont make it seperate colors

[oak ridge]

Weld instance

[rustic wedge]

And make sure the hunge is anchored and the door isnt and the door handle isnt

[static charm]

Game.workspace.Part:waitforchild(“part”

This will work

[rustic wedge]

Bruh

[hollow crow]

alr so I welded them together

do i add a script on the weld restraint?

[rustic wedge]

That dosent rly matter

As long as ur instancing correctly

[hollow crow]

wym instancing correctly?

[rustic wedge]

Like door beeing script.parent for example

If the script isn’t in the door then that wouldnt work

[hollow crow]

alr

local CD = script.Parent
local door = script.Parent

CD.MouseClick:Connect(function()

door.CFrame = door.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)

end)

do I have to reference click detector as a handle with the door

this script is the door rn

[rustic wedge]

Well the door is the same instance as the click detector now

[hollow crow]

o

So i need to make seperate instances?

[lyric aspen]

** You are now Level 2! **

[rustic wedge]

Wait can you send a screenshot of the workspace?

[hollow crow]

yea

[rustic wedge]

You dont have a clickdetector added

[hollow crow]

the script I did before?

[rustic wedge]

Make a clickdetector inside of the union

[hollow crow]

k

[rustic wedge]

Just change CD to script.Parent.ClickDetector

It should work

[fierce marsh]

why changing cframe of the click detector

is that what is intended

[hollow crow]

wait im confuzzled

[fierce marsh]

do clickdetectors even have cframe

[hollow crow]

local CD = script.Parent
local door = script.
CD.MouseClick:Connect(function()

door.CFrame = door.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)

end)

[fierce marsh]

yes

but reference them both correctly

[hollow crow]

im not sure what to put for local door = script.

[fierce marsh]

well click detector isn’t even the parent

[rustic wedge]

Script.Parent

[rustic wedge]

Clickdetector is script.Parent.ClickDetector

[hollow crow]

so I just change CD into script.Parent.ClickDetector?

[rustic wedge]

And make sure door is script.Parent

[fierce marsh]

do you understand why?

the parent of your script is not the click detector, the parent is basically the instance that your script is in

it is inside of the union

[hollow crow]

so the union is the parent>

?

[fierce marsh]

of the script he’s

yes

but then u can reference any children of the union

like script.parent.clickdetector

which essentially is the same as doing game.workspace.union.clickdetector if u understand what that does

[hollow crow]

oh okay so the .clickdetector is being referenced in the union

and the parent is the location of where the script is in

[fierce marsh]

yes

[hollow crow]

alr thanks

local script.Parent.ClickDetector = script.Parent
local door = script.Parent
script.parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()

door.CFrame = door.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)

end)

so do i do smthn like this then?

[fierce marsh]

try it

[fierce marsh]

wait

no

literally just do

local ClickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector

u over complicated it

[hollow crow]

oh alr

[fierce marsh]

Clickdetector is just a variable

ur assigning the actual clickdetector instance to the variable Called clickdetector

[hollow crow]

oh okay

the variable = script references clickdetector

ey it works

kinda

preciate the help

[rustic wedge]

Can u vc or sum, I really wanna explain essier

[fierce marsh]

u need to do it around the hinge

[lyric aspen]

** You are now Level 11! **

[hollow crow]

ye im down

[fierce marsh]

and add a weld restraint

kinda complicated for beginner so yeah hopefully he can explain

[hollow crow]

alr thanks

[hollow crow]

vc in dms?
