I’m trying to make something called the sticky bomb in my game, which is a bomb that can be thrown and then sticks to objects that it touches, and then it explodes.
I’m currently having an issue, where the bomb doesn’t consider the player’s character even though I tried filtering it out by checking if the part Is a Descendant of a part. The bomb for some reason would print that hit is indeed a descendant of the player’s character, but for some reason even though I made an if statement to not make a weld if the part is a descendant of the projectile/sticky bomb or the player’s character, even though it is printed that it is a descendant, the weld still gets created, and the elseif statement never goes through.
local Connection
Connection = missile.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print(hit:IsDescendantOf(player.Character)) -- Print's out as true, but then for some reason the script skips the elseif argument and for some reason makes a weld.
if not hit:IsDescendantOf(player.Character) and not hit:IsDescendantOf(missile) then
print("e")
print(hit)
Connection:Disconnect()
local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
weld.Parent = missile
weld.Part0 = hit
weld.Part1 = missile
explode(missile, player)
elseif hit:IsDescendantOf(player.Character) and hit:IsDescendantOf(missile) then
print("true - weld not created")
end
end)
Sure, but I don’t think it does because the other part of the script is connected in a function that gets called and doesn’t have anything to do with the welds that are being created.

No, it isn’t. I’m trying to run test to see if hit is a part of the body, the tool, or parts of the handle. This is because for some reason every single time I use the tool, the tool automatically welds to parts located in the players handle.
you are using a conditional statement, due to the embedded logic of them, if it hits the descendant of the player and the missile its gonna run the statement. two falses make the statement true in an “if-and” statement. the and just means that both values have to be the SAME and if both are not true then they are both technically false. if they are both false they are true and the statement runs. hopefully that’s not too confusing
think about it like this, an or in this case will be a 50% chance the statement runs. this is because at least one of the values needs to be true for an or statement to run. both values can be true, one can be true but both can’t be false. say if it hits a part of the player and you put the not there it reverses the value to false; and if it doesn’t hit the missile it’s gonna reverse that value too and make it true. it’s going to run if just ONE of the conditions is true or reversed to true. I don’t think or will work in your case the way you are using not
:Disconnect() stops the event from firing multiple times. return ends the function and or sends data back. in this case this is irrelevant to the issue at hand.
if and statements only run when both values are true, not when they are the same value! What and does is check whether the two values are both “truthy”, AKA anything notfalse or nil, and gives true when they are, false when they aren’t, and if just checks whether it is also “truthy” before running the code.
ohhh this is my fault, i was using my knowledge from java. the boolean tables in java says false and false makes true because they match. I assumed this applied here, sorry for the misunderstanding
I tried using a more updated script, but for some reason one and two doesn’t get printed out at all and also even though Big_Green_Bumper as stated in the output is indeed a descendant and that "on " no weld was created, a weld is still created for some reason.
