Touch event refusing to fire

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so, i am recently making a hitbox to when the player touches then he dies.

i programmed it so it can olny be triggered by a player, and for some reason, touch events does not fires.

local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	print(script.Parent.Name, Part)
	local P = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
	if P then
		local MonsterScript = require(Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("MonsterScript"))
		if MonsterScript then
			MonsterScript.Kill(P)

		end
	end
end)

note that the enemy needs to clone the hitbox, then weld it to kills

here is a example

	local Hitbox = game.ReplicatedStorage.JumpscareHitboxes.BigJumpscareHitbox:Clone()
	Hitbox.Parent = Monster
	local Weld = Instance.new("Weld")
	Weld.Parent = Hitbox
	Weld.Part0 = Monster.Effects
	Weld.Part1 = Hitbox

the script local and clones the hitbox, then he parents to itself, it makes a weld between the main part and the hitbox itself to “anchor” the part

when player touches the hitbox, that function must be callen from a module script

function ms.Kill(Player)
	print("Killed ", Player)
end

Do you have the Hitbox property CanTouch set to false (it’s below CanCollide in the Properties window)?

#3

no, i haven’t, even if i turned CanTouch set to false it does not print (also is not cantouch responsible for triggering touched event?)

#4

CanTouch allows touched events to fire on that item.
If you have it set to false it’ll save some CPU lag because it won’t be checking to see if those components are ever touching anything.

#5

it was on before, since i don,t use CanCollide to check if a part is touching or not, for some reason, the SafeZone Hitbox works perfectly, but not the kill hitbox

he it is:



local SavenFF

local function GiveForceField(p)
	local FFLocal = p.Character:FindFirstChild("SafeFF")
	if not FFLocal then
	local FF = Instance.new("ForceField")
	SavenFF = p.Character.Humanoid.Health
	p.Character.Humanoid.Health = 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
	FF.Parent = p.Character
		FF.Name = "SafeFF"
		FF.Visible = false
		end
end 

local function RemoveForceField(p)
	p.Character.Humanoid.Health = SavenFF
	local FF = p.Character:FindFirstChild("SafeFF")
	if FF then
		FF:Destroy()
	end
end


local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	local P = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
	if P then
		GiveForceField(P)
	end
end)

Part.TouchEnded:Connect(function(part)
	local P = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
	if P then
		RemoveForceField(P)
	end
end)

its kinda different since it uses functions when player is touching or not, but it have the same purpose
