my script for a owner door isn't working

[north fog]

im trying to make a tycoon game but for some reason the owner door isnt working. `` here is the script for people who are lazy to write it down

local tycoon = script.Parent.Parent

local mainitems = tycoon:FindFirstChild("MainItems")
local values = tycoon:FindFirstChild("Values")

mainitems.OwnerDoor.Door.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if values.OwnerValue.Value == nil then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
if player:FindFirstChild("HasTycoon").Value == false then
values.OwnerValue.Value = player
end
end
end
end) ``

[north fog]

does anyone know whats wrong with my script and how to fix it

[ripe vapor]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Tycoon = script.Parent.Parent
local MainItems = Tycoon:FindFirstChild("MainItems")
local Values = Tycoon:FindFirstChild("Values")

local function OnTouched(otherPart: BasePart)
   local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent)
   if not Player then return end
   if Values.OwnerValue.Value ~= nil then return end
   if Player.HasTycoon.Value then return end
   Values.OwnerValue.Value = Player
   Player.HasTycoon.Value = true
end

MainItems.OwnerDoor.Door.Touched:Connect(OnTouched)

You should look into using CollectionService for scripts like these, because I can tell with the way you wrote it that you have this exact same script copy and pasted throughout several Tycoon models

[north fog]

well that script isnt working

[solar pelican]

** You are now Level 1! **

[ripe vapor]

Which one?

[north fog]

this one

[ripe vapor]

Is there an error I can look at?

[north fog]

how can i show u that

[ripe vapor]

In your script output, if there was an error thrown by the script you put that code in, it would show in bold red text

[solar pelican]

** You are now Level 3! **

[north fog]

ok let me put the script back in

[north fog]

this is what it said Workspace.tycoons.tycoon.scripts.core:1: Incomplete statement: expected assignment or a function call

[ripe vapor]

There was an assignment on that line. Are you sure this is the right script?

[north fog]

far as i know yes

[ripe vapor]

It's probably because I typed it on mobile without using proper tabs

I guess I can't really help in that regard

[north fog]

do u know the actual code to use

[ripe vapor]

Try to reproduce this error again and click on it. When you do, tell me if it opens up the script with the code I sent

If it doesn't then that means the error isn't coming from that code

[north fog]

what the thing called to view the error code

[ripe vapor]

The script output

[north fog]

this?
``local tycoon = script.Parent.Parent

local mainitems = tycoon:FindFirstChild("MainItems")
local values = tycoon:FindFirstChild("Values")

mainitems.OwnerDoor.Door.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if values.OwnerValue.Value == nil then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        if player then
            if player:FindFirstChild("HasTycoon").Value == false then
                values.OwnerValue.Value = player
            end
        end
    end
end)``

[ripe vapor]

Your output should look something like this

[north fog]

yea i found something like that

[solar pelican]

** You are now Level 2! **

[ripe vapor]

And you replaced the code I sent with this?

[north fog]

not yet

[ripe vapor]

Try doing it and see if anything happens

[north fog]

now i aint getting any output

[ripe vapor]

So there is no error

Does the script work?

[north fog]

nope

[ripe vapor]

How do you know?

[north fog]

the owner value is still empty

[ripe vapor]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Tycoon = script.Parent.Parent
local MainItems = Tycoon:FindFirstChild("MainItems")
local Values = Tycoon:FindFirstChild("Values")

local function OnTouched(otherPart: BasePart)
   local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent)
   
   if not Player then
      print("Could not find a player")
      return
   end
   
   if Values.OwnerValue.Value ~= nil then
      print("The tycoon is already owned by another player")
      return
   end
   
   if Player.HasTycoon.Value then
      print(`{Player.Name} already owns a tycoon`)
      return
   end
   
   Values.OwnerValue.Value = Player
   Player.HasTycoon.Value = true
   print(`{Player.Name} has successfully claimed a tycoon`)
   
end

MainItems.OwnerDoor.Door.Touched:Connect(OnTouched)

If all else fails, replace the script with this. It should tell you why it's not working if it isn't

[north fog]

what about the script for leaderstats

[ripe vapor]

I didn't know there was such a script, and I didn't intend on helping that much further

[north fog]

k

[north fog]

well here the script i did for leaderstats ``game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

local hastycoon = Instance.new("BoolValue", player)
hastycoon.Name = "HasTycoon"
hastycoon.Value = false

end)``

[north fog]

lmk if its wrong

[ripe vapor]

It's fine

[north fog]

so its gonna work with the script u gave me

[ripe vapor]

Yes

[north fog]

k well it still aint working

[ripe vapor]

That's strange

[ripe vapor]

Did you replace the door script with this?

[solar pelican]

** You are now Level 4! **

[ripe vapor]

It has print statements to let you know why the script possibly isn't working

[north fog]

yes

[ripe vapor]

Did it print anything?

[north fog]

this
Workspace.tycoons.tycoon.scripts.core:1: Incomplete statement: expected assignment or a function call

[ripe vapor]

Wth

Ok

Is there a red underline anywhere in the script?

If so where?

[north fog]

im not getting any

[solar pelican]

** You are now Level 3! **

[north fog]

is there a plugin that gives me that

[ripe vapor]

No that should just be something the script editor has by default

Usually for an error like that, there is supposed to be a red underline under the problematic line(s) of code

[north fog]

not seeing anything

[north fog]

i think i might have found the problem

[ripe vapor]

Ok, what was it?

[north fog]

it might be because the script u sent me uses uppercase while the stuff in the folder uses lowercase

[ripe vapor]

Oh

[north fog]

what this for
MainItems.OwnerDoor.Door.Touched:Connect(OnTouched)

[ripe vapor]

Whenever OwnerDoor gets touched, it calls the OnTouched function

[north fog]

ok well should it be at the very bottom

[ripe vapor]

It has to be after the OnTouched function has been declared or the script won't know what OnTouched is

[north fog]

so this part ``local function OnTouched(otherPart: BasePart)
local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent)

if not Player then
    print("Could not find a player")
    return
end

if Values.OwnerValue.Value ~= nil then
    print("The tycoon is already owned by another player")
    return
end

if Player.HasTycoon.Value then
    print(`{Player.Name} already owns a tycoon`)
    return
end

Values.OwnerValue.Value = Player
Player.HasTycoon.Value = true
print(`{Player.Name} has successfully claimed a tycoon`)

end``

[ripe vapor]

Yes

[north fog]

k what does otherpart.parent mean

[ripe vapor]

The parent of otherPart

[north fog]

what exactly is otherpart

[ripe vapor]

The part that touched the door

[north fog]

welp i cant figure out whats wrong

[ripe vapor]

Me neither

[north fog]

i look more on youtube

[north fog]

what value should the ownerdoor be under

[ripe vapor]

Wdym

[north fog]

like objectvalue, stringvalue

[ripe vapor]

Objectvalue
