Add Door Script

5-- Add ClickDetector
6local clickDetector = Instance.new("ClickDetector")
7clickDetector.Parent = door
8clickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 10

10-- Create door sound effects
11local openSound = Instance.new("Sound")
12openSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://12345" -- Replace with actual sound ID
13openSound.Parent = door
14
15local closeSound = Instance.new("Sound")
16closeSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://67890" -- Replace with actual sound ID
17closeSound.Parent = door

19-- Create animation settings

33    else
34        targetRotation = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(0), 0)
35        closeSound:Play()

Key Concepts Explained​

ClickDetector​

The ClickDetector is a special object that allows players to interact with parts by clicking on them. It's perfect for interactive elements like doors, buttons, and switches.

TweenService​

TweenService is a powerful tool for creating smooth animations. It interpolates (tweens) between different properties over time, creating fluid movements instead of instant changes.

Sound Integration​

Adding sound effects provides important feedback to players and makes interactions more satisfying. In this lesson, we've added distinct sounds for opening and closing the door.
