How To Make An Elevator Game In Roblox Studio (Part 2)

[@unionedspider]

After line 8 in the OnPlayerAdded script I forgot to add this line of code:
activelyPlaying.Parent = valuesFolder

this silly thing is you have to turn on can touch in the queue elevator main door part

[@SFKJSC]

Tutorial is great but i've got one question how do i make so floors wasn't same 2 or more times in a row?

[@unionedspider]

@@SFKJSC The code in this video fixes that

[@Pebble_DandyJunior]

Will you do a money that you can get for participating in a round (like 10 or 15) and a shop in where you can buy a sword (not killing sword), speed coil and jump coil? (These were just some ideas)

[@unionedspider]

@@Pebble_DandyJunior Yeah

[@Pebble_DandyJunior]

Nice ​@@unionedspider

[@kohlevs]

This was a great tutorial! I only had one issue with it, for some reason my songs do shuffle but my floors sadly do not, it says that waitlist is an unknown global. One suggestion I have for this series is making a tutorial for how to give players the currencies, "Floors" (number of floors the player has done,) and "Coins" (amount of coins from one floor), and saving these stats.

[@unionedspider]

Did you define the wait list table variable?
like this:
local waitlist= {}
If you did, maybe it isn't put in the correct spot in the script. It might need to be defined earlier or later on in the script

[@kohlevs]

@@unionedspiderthanks, it worked!

[@madot_suki]

Thank you! This was so helpful!!, kind of a weird request but do you know how to make a npc join the elevator?

[@unionedspider]

Yeah I'll do that in the next part

[@madot_suki]

@@unionedspider tysm ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@burlytech]

instead of making a function for each floor, you can make a folder called like "mapcode" or whatever in the floor folder and put a modulescript in there, then run the code in the modulescript when the floor is loaded

[@unionedspider]

@@burlytech Yeah good point I plan to do this in the next tutorial I upload

@@noobie425 I just now noticed that I forgot to add a line of code in the video which has been causing that error so I just put the fix in the pinned comment

[@noobie425]

@@unionedspider Oh thanks it works now Thanks for the help

[@darkgabumon]

appreciate the video, I'm pretty much following the same thing, with different models and it all works perfectly better then what I tried to make before. Just a few questions, before this video I made a song system where I reference the part containing all the song ids then use GetChildren on it. After I just use math.random to randomly pick and play a song. I tried your method and it works perfectly fine as well, though I don't exactly understand the table syntax and stuff. In your opinion is it better to use the latter or is the former alright?
I don't know if you already done these things but maybe a shop system, leaderboard system (how to make them and save them), changing lighting or camera would be really helpful. Like some floors, my idea is to make it scary, and changing the lighting would be good. And for camera work, it would be cool to make some floors have some sort of cut scene at the beginning.
I personally think the long videos are good, I like seeing your workflow and process. It's very insightful as someone starting to code on studio. Anyways cheers boss.

[@unionedspider]

For the song system I did plan on using math.random but I felt like using this shuffle mechanism because it puts all of the songs in an organized queue line and also prevents the same song from getting picked twice in a row
In the next part I do plan on adding a shop, leaderboard (With datastorage), and lighting changes. I'll try and see if I can do anything for camera effects

[@RehanPoil2]

Are you gonna make a part 3 or that’s all

[@unionedspider]

Yeah there'll be a part 3

[@RehanPoil2]

Ok

[@UAUAball3728]

good tutorial but theres one issue:
sometimes this "ServerScriptService.Elevator:117: attempt to index nil with 'Clone'" error will pop up and it will stop the script from working. how do i fix that?

[@unionedspider]

I'm not sure, I don't know what your script looks like

[@MarioYT21]

This tutorial is really helpful so I can make my game but I’m experiencing a problem. After adding the new code onto the script (the part where the SoundPart plays music and stops), the elevator just doesn’t open anymore. If I use the script from Part 1, it still opens.

[@unionedspider]

That means there's an error, you'll have to see what shows up in the output when you test your game. It should be in red text
The output button is in the view tab

[@MarioYT21]

@@unionedspiderah ok I see. It says that SoundPart is not a valid member of Folder “Workspace.Elevator”.
I assume I need to put the SoundPart inside the Elevator folder?
Edit: nvm I got it to work. The problem was that the objects like SoundPart and Teleport Pad weren’t in the elevator folder. I appreciate the help
