I’m trying to make a game and I need this script added to every part of a building. Is there a way to add the script to every part at once instead of having to add it to each part individually?
This is the script I need on the parts
-- Script for unanchoring a part when touched by a player
local part = script.Parent -- Assuming this script is a child of the part
local function onTouched(other)
local character = other.Parent
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
-- If touched by a player's humanoid, unanchor the part
if humanoid then
part.Anchored = false
end
end
part.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
Don’t add a script for each individual part - manage it all from one script.
If you really want to add a script to each part, iterate through all the descendants of the main building.
local scriptToClone = --path to your script here. Make sure it is disabled!
local building = --path to your building here
for i, v in ipairs(building:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("Part") then
local clonedScript = scriptToClone:Clone()
clonedScript.Parent = v
clonedScript.Enabled = true
end
end
local Buildings = {} --> Get the Children of a folder of buildings, or something.
local function ControlEvents()
for _, Building in Buildings do
for _, Part in Building:GetDescendants() do
--> Add touched events here. This isn't very optimised, I'd suggest grouping the parts under a folder that you want to be interacted with, sometimes *every* part isn't the best.
end
end
end
task.spawn(function() --> Not recommended, use coroutines instead. Just a quick method.
ControlEvents()
end)
Yes, there actually is. You can create a serverscript using the CollectionSerivce!
Click the plus to add the tag, then here is the following code:
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local tag = "tag" -- Put your tag here
for _, part: BasePart in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged(tag)) do
-- Script for unanchoring a part when touched by a player
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local character = hit.Parent
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
-- If touched by a player's humanoid, unanchor the part
if humanoid then
part.Anchored = false
end
end)
end
-) Once you install it go to the plugins section and press “Tag Window”
-) Next select a part(s) that you want to tag in the explorer tab and press the checkbox while its selected
Then, add a script (Server Side) for it. I’ll write one relative to your code:
local collectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local function onTouched(other, part)
local character = other.Parent
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
-- If touched by a player's humanoid, unanchor the part
if humanoid then
part.Anchored = false
end
end
while true do
for i,v in pairs(collectionService:GetTagged("--Insert Tag Name--")) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Touched:Connect(function(other)
onTouched(other, v)
end)
end
end
wait(0.05)
end
You can have the same script apply for thousands of objects if you want while also making it organized and easy to maintain
Don’t use pairs anymore. It’s outdated and you should just reference the table/dictionary instead of wrapping it in pairs unless you want to iterate through it sequentially, where you’d have to use ipairs. pairs is now outdated and much slower in comparison.
A small nitpick, but there’s an in-built Tag Editor and using a plugin is redundant. Also, when possible do not use while true loops, because it yields and also you’re creating WAY too many event connections. Do it once, not consecutively or you’re using up too much memory. What you can do is either do it once and check for DescendantAdded in workspace or another service or just use a cache of Instances with connections already established to avoid making new ones in.
e.g (with a cache):
local collectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local connectionCache = { }
local function onTouched(other, part)
local character = other.Parent
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
-- If touched by a player's humanoid, unanchor the part
if humanoid then
part.Anchored = false
end
end
runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
for _, part in BUILDINGS_TABLE do
if connectionCache[part] then continue end
if part:IsA("BasePart") then
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
onTouched(hit, part)
end)
connectionCache[part]=0 --> Not the best implementation but works well.
end
end
end)
local descendants = model:GetDescendants()
for i,v in descendants do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print('touched')
end)
end
end
