Accessories preventing damage

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a third person gun system here, and my first major problem has come alight. I can’t damage people when they wear accessories that block body parts… I’m using fastcast, is there a way to fix this?

#2

You have two options:

  • Set CanQuery to all accessory handles to false
  • Blacklist the accessories from raycasting (FilterDescendantsInstances of RaycastParams).

I was just researching that second one, do I just list the type as “Accessory” inside the param? Or what

EDIT: That’s not the case, just tried it.

You need to create an array of them. For example,

{Dummy.Hat.Handle, Dummy.Clothing.Handle}

But you would need to insert these automatically.

#5

So how would that work for if people of all kinds are joining the game? Surely there’s an easier way to input them? Can I fit a for loop in there to catch anything with the name of “Accessory”?

They won’t be all named accessory.
Try this and put it in a server script:

function check(d)if d:IsA("Accessory") then pcall(function()d.Handle.CanQuery=false end) end end
for _,obj in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants())do check(obj) end
workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(check)

They won’t be all named accessory.

I mean the Class name. All hats/accessories have the Accessory ClassName

That didn’t end up helping, as again I’m using fastcast as my weapons module base, and it didn’t register.

I was having the same issue as you, i solved this like Subtotal did, but we gives some time for the accessories to load in.

Put this in a script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) --Detects when a player joins
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) --Detects when the player's character is loaded
		wait(.1) --Wait for the accessories to load
		for i,v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do --This will check every character's content
			if v:IsA("Accessory") then --If the child is an accessory then
				if v.Handle then --Check if the child has a handle
					v.Handle.CanQuery = false --Disables the CanQuery property from the handle
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end)

Probably, not the most efficient way of doing this, but i hope this helped you.
