how do i get the button on a surfacegui on a part to do things in workspace? is it just the same as it would be inside a normal script?
mine looks like this
StarterGui > SurfaceGui > TextButton (adornee is part in workspace)
#surfacegui button to open a door
summer wyvern
tidal fjord
what do you mean?
summer wyvern
what do you mean?
for example if the player clicks the button it opens a door with tweenservice
slender ivy
It’s the same as if it was a normal local script

okay thank you
harsh pagoda
for example if the player clicks the button it opens a door with tweenservice
I haven't done those in a long while but aren't they entirely local-sided?
slender ivy
Textbutton.activated
harsh pagoda
Yeah so just use a remote
slender ivy
Yeah so just use a remote
^^
harsh pagoda
transfer the information back to the server through a remote to activate the door
tidal fjord
for example if the player clicks the button it opens a door with tweenservice
you use local script but it only moves for 1 player
summer wyvern
you use local script but it only moves for 1 player
so remote
harsh pagoda
aye
slender ivy
thanks yall
If you want it to replicate across every client you can tween on the server but it looks bad
tidal fjord
If you want it to replicate across every client you can tween on the server but ...
you can fire server and then fire all clients
which is better
slender ivy
What I do is have an open and close attribute and I render the door based off that attribute to all clients
harsh pagoda
If you want it to replicate across every client you can tween on the server but ...
yeah essentially that's what happens, most of the time the server is going to be at least slightly lagged or have desync issues so there's going to be stutter with the door
so just do it on client only
summer wyvern
i want it for every player
harsh pagoda
so you just send it via remotes to all clients
harsh pagoda
yeah
summer wyvern
i forgot everyhing i learned 2 yrs ago
harsh pagoda
wait let me check
tidal fjord
fireallclients right?
you can change attributes on server and listen to them on client
slender ivy
you can change attributes on server and listen to them on client
^^^
summer wyvern
you can change attributes on server and listen to them on client
never really ever heard of how that works and what that is
tidal fjord
never really ever heard of how that works and what that is
for example, u have code that initiates everything so u initiate oppened doors first
then u wanna open some door
so u use remotes to fire server and door which u want to open
slender ivy
never really ever heard of how that works and what that is
Attributes are properties that can be put on parts, you can listen for the change of that attribute in order to open or close a door
harsh pagoda
for example, u have code that initiates everything so u initiate oppened doors f...
oh yeah that's smart
tidal fjord
also u should make client listener to that door attribute on changed or what called
summer wyvern

i done that in the past, it clicked now
tidal fjord
u cant see them on client I think
wooden hare
how do i get the button on a surfacegui on a part to do things in workspace? is ...
isnt it just like
tidal fjord
didnt use collection service since idk 😔
slender ivy
Tags replicate but it’s just bad practice
slender ivy
To listen for tags for replication
summer wyvern
similarly to having any buttons do something
i dont know thats why i asked
tidal fjord
tags can be replaced with classes
summer wyvern
people here said its only client sided
slender ivy
Tags should be used
slender ivy
summer wyvern
collectionservice:gettagged?
harsh pagoda
<#1271556105541124096>
speaking of which can i dm you about it
slender ivy
speaking of which can i dm you about it
Sure
slender ivy
collectionservice:gettagged?
Yes and you’ll also need to listen for late joins via an event
harsh pagoda
Neat thanks dmed
summer wyvern
Yes and you’ll also need to listen for late joins via an event
wdym
summer wyvern
isnt that just a waitforchild tho
so i fire the remote to the server in a localscript in the button then a serverscript listens to it with Onserverevent and tags them and it does whatever right
slender ivy
isnt that just a waitforchild tho
No
summer wyvern
No
-- ServerScript (ServerScriptService)
local remote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")
remote.Name = "ToggleDoorEvent"
remote.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-- store cooldown per player
local cooldowns = {}
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
if cooldowns[player] and tick() - cooldowns[player] < 15 then
return -- still need to wait
end
cooldowns[player] = tick()
local doors = CollectionService:GetTagged("Door")
for _, door in ipairs(doors) do
if door:GetAttribute("IsOpen") then
door:SetAttribute("IsOpen", false)
print(door.Name.." closed")
else
door:SetAttribute("IsOpen", true)
print(door.Name.." opened")
end
end
end)
soo kinda like this?
this is ai code im just tryna understand it, couldnt really finda tutorial for these
ignore the instance.new remote event part idk why it did that
summer wyvern
🤨
whats the problem? it looks good to me
i just have to tag the doors but i can do that manually
tidal fjord
you could make smth like this I tried to make it easy to understand for u
local yourDoor = nil -- path to your door or smth instead of nil
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
RS.DoorInteract:FireServer(yourDoor)
end)
this is your client side
idk your lvl so I made js 1 script in button
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
RS.DoorInteract.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player: Player, Door: Part | Model)
-- you can insert logic like player openned the door and do like omg global msg
for i, loopPlayer in game:GetService('Players'):GetPlayers() do
-- some event fires on player for activating this door so it's changed there
end
Door:SetAttribute('Openned', true) -- you can play with this if u wanna open / close
end)
then u make script on server
tidal fjord
```lua
local yourDoor = nil -- path to your door or smth instead of nil
local R...
if u wanna interact with lots of doors then u can make class
summer wyvern
the thing is i do
summer wyvern
```lua
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
RS.DoorInteract.OnServer...
Also i dont really get the
(player: Player, Door: Part | Model)
``` what is thatit looks clean tho
ty
tidal fjord
Also i dont really get the
```
(player: Player, Door: Part | Model)
``` what i...
its type
tidal fjord
convenience, beauty
summer wyvern
convenience, beauty
aight
i get it now tho
so it goes through all the players and does it locally for them too
instead of on the serv
so if i want it to be a toggle then i just
if isopen then
Door:SetAttribute("opened,false)
else
Door:SetAttribute("opened",true)
end```you can do
local Bool = Door:GetAttribute('Openned')
Door:SetAttribute('Openned', not Bool)
Door:SetAttribute('Openned', true) -- you can play with this if u wanna open / close
-- some event fires on player for activating this door so it's changed there
end
end)```
also its like this right?what does not bool equal to
if its false then turns it to true
and the other way around
?
tidal fjord
if bool is nil or false its true after
if true then false
RS.DoorInteract.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player: Player, Door: Part | Model)
-- you can insert logic like player openned the door and do like omg global msg
local Bool = Door:GetAttribute('Openned')
Door:SetAttribute('Openned', not Bool)
for i, loopPlayer in game:GetService('Players'):GetPlayers() do
-- some event fires on player for activating this door so it's changed there
SomeOpenEventOnClient:FireClient(loopPlayer, Bool)
end
end)
also put in this event door that u open
summer wyvern
also put in this event door that u open
uhm what
and what is the someopeneventonclient
tidal fjord
and what is the someopeneventonclient
event I made for test
summer wyvern
okay
ill get it sometime
eventually
local button = script.Parent
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local doorRemote = RS:WaitForChild("DoorInteract")
local yourDoor = workspace:WaitForChild("Door1")
button.Activated:Connect(function()
doorRemote:FireServer(yourDoor)
end)
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local doorRemote = RS:WaitForChild("DoorInteract")
doorRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player: Player, Door: Part | Model)
local Bool = Door:GetAttribute("Openned")
Door:SetAttribute("Openned", not Bool)
if Door:GetAttribute("Openned") then
Door.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("grkeen")
else
Door.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("red")
end
end)
tired linden
"grkeen"
fierce trout
button in surfacegui only works in the client
wooden hare
```
local button = script.Parent
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")...
"red", "gkreen"
dude
😭
summer wyvern
bro whats wrong
fierce trout
bro whats wrong
red and gkreen are not valid brickcolors, u should use Really red and Lime green instead
