⚠️ Major bug that randomly just started happening

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Greetings, I just encountered the most misleading bug that I cannot fix at all…

My Player is not getting detected for some reason…

for _, KeyCheckpoint in pairs(Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
	KeyCheckpoint.Touched:Connect(function(CharacterPart)
		if CharacterPart.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
-- Anything after here does not run. Determined with print()
			local Player: Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(CharacterPart.Parent)
			if KeyCheckpoint.Name ~= "EndRace" then
				if CharacterPart.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
					SetCheckpoint(Player, KeyCheckpoint, true)
				end
			else
				if not Player:GetAttribute("PlayerCompleted") then
					local Valid: boolean = true
					for AttributeName, AttributeValue in pairs(Player.KeyCheckpoints:GetAttributes()) do
						if not AttributeValue then
							Valid = false
						end
					end
					if Valid then
						if BloxyKartService.Gamemode ~= "FreeRoam" then
							if Player:GetAttribute("LapNumber") == MapLaps then
								CompletedRace(Player)
							else
								CompletedLap(Player)
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end

What is REALLY misleading is that this system worked normally before… No changes to the script…

If you see nothing wrong with the script and you have experience, please let me know

I am not ready to announce that I am delaying a Live Event tomorrow due to a bug that just started happening for no reason…

If you can help, that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Try this?

for _, KeyCheckpoint in pairs(Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
	KeyCheckpoint.Touched:Connect(function(CharacterPart)
		if CharacterPart.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then

			local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(CharacterPart.Parent)
			if KeyCheckpoint.Name ~= "EndRace" then
				if CharacterPart.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
					SetCheckpoint(Player, KeyCheckpoint, true)
				end
			else
				if not Player:GetAttribute("PlayerCompleted") then
					local Valid: boolean = true
					for AttributeName, AttributeValue in pairs(Player.KeyCheckpoints:GetAttributes()) do
						if not AttributeValue then
							Valid = false
						end
					end
					if Valid then
						if BloxyKartService.Gamemode ~= "FreeRoam" then
							if Player:GetAttribute("LapNumber") == MapLaps then
								CompletedRace(Player)
							else
								CompletedLap(Player)
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end

If this doesn’t work, are you receiving any errors from the ouput?

#3

Still isn’t working…

Also, no errors in the output…

I determined where I put the comment with print() that the stuff below doesn’t run at all…

#4

Before running the rest of the code, I think you should make an if statement checking if the player exists, maybe that will fix the issue.

Updated code:

for _, KeyCheckpoint in pairs(Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
	KeyCheckpoint.Touched:Connect(function(CharacterPart)
		if CharacterPart.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then

			local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(CharacterPart.Parent)
			if Player then -- makes sure player exists
				if KeyCheckpoint.Name ~= "EndRace" then
					if CharacterPart.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
						SetCheckpoint(Player, KeyCheckpoint, true)
					end
				else
					if not Player:GetAttribute("PlayerCompleted") then
						local Valid: boolean = true
						for AttributeName, AttributeValue in pairs(Player.KeyCheckpoints:GetAttributes()) do
							if not AttributeValue then
								Valid = false
							end
						end
						if Valid then
							if BloxyKartService.Gamemode ~= "FreeRoam" then
								if Player:GetAttribute("LapNumber") == MapLaps then
									CompletedRace(Player)
								else
									CompletedLap(Player)
								end
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end

Have you tried printing the path of CharacterPart?

for _, KeyCheckpoint in pairs(Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
    KeyCheckpoint.Touched:Connect(function(CharacterPart)
        print("Touched by", CharacterPart:GetFullName())
#6

I added prints like this:

if BloxyKartService.Gamemode ~= "Battle" then
		for _, KeyCheckpoint in pairs(Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
			print("Looping")
			KeyCheckpoint.Touched:Connect(function(CharacterPart)
				print("Touched")
				if CharacterPart.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
					print("Humanoid :)")
					local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(CharacterPart.Parent)
					if Player then -- makes sure player exists
						print("Player")
						if KeyCheckpoint.Name ~= "EndRace" then
							if CharacterPart.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
								SetCheckpoint(Player, KeyCheckpoint, true)
							end
						else
							if not Player:GetAttribute("PlayerCompleted") then
								local Valid: boolean = true
								for AttributeName, AttributeValue in pairs(Player.KeyCheckpoints:GetAttributes()) do
									if not AttributeValue then
										Valid = false
									end
								end
								if Valid then
									if BloxyKartService.Gamemode ~= "FreeRoam" then
										if Player:GetAttribute("LapNumber") == MapLaps then
											CompletedRace(Player)
										else
											CompletedLap(Player)
										end
									end
								end
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end)
		end
	end

And here is the result:

Still isn’t working…

Hm… I don’t see my Player in there anywhere…

Alright, follow up…

I fixed the issue, and apparently, custom characters had CanTouch set to false…

I guess the change was that I didn’t have a custom character equipped when testing…

Fixed it with this command in the command bar:

for _, Characters in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.Characters:GetDescendants()) do if Characters:IsA("BasePart") then Characters.CanTouch = true end end
