Best Substitute to Part.Touched?

[Y35X (Maxatal)]

Hello! I am currently working on optimizing zombies in a game of mine, and one thing I wanted to tackle is the fact that zombies can seemingly at random do ungodly amounts of damage.

Even with a cooldown, one script for the entire character, etc. the zombies can still seem to randomly do an insane amount of damage. I narrowed the problem to simply being Part.Touched, considering how it has been unstable for me in the past, and can some times detect one touch as 4-5.

So anyone know the best (reliable) substitute to Part.Touched in this case?

A simple search got me this:

Alternative for .Touched event

I made some blocks that give players a boost using the .Touched event. But it is not reliable(for example, I can walk on blocks and it doesn’t give me any effects). Is there any other way? (I don’t want to use Region3 cause there are a lot of blocks.)

Alternative for Touched event?

Hi, so I just noticed that the Touched event isn’t working reliably with my bombs. So, I made a bomb tool that creates an explosion part sphere, and that sphere expands in all directions, then fades out. If players touch that sphere, it’ll kill them. There’s also a freeze bomb that freezes players that collide with the explosion. It creates a block around the player’s character, also anchoring the player’s character as well. I noticed if somebody throws a damage bomb, and if players collide wit…

Alternatives to .Touched?

So basically I have a script on the client side which if supposed to detect if I have hit a crystal. The issue is that it doesn’t always detect the hitbox of the crystal, therefore a message isn’t sent to the server to inflict damage. Are there any other methods to reliably detect something compared to .Touched? local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local weapon local blade local detected = false local combatremote = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents"):WaitForChild("Combat") loca…

Faster alternative to a .Touched event?

I was using a .Touched event to give EXP to all players who damaged my mob. Here’s how it works: A .Touched event is fired, then the script checks if the colliding part is called “Handle”, with its Parent being a child of a Model. However, this is not important to the issue. What I’ve noticed is that when the mob gets close to a player character or when the mob dies, there are extreme frame drops. Usually to the point of bringing my 60 FPS (as there is an FPS cap) down to around 20. At first I…

Need something better than Touched events

i’ll give my proposal, similar to what you said, about using GetTouchingParts and then the tracking parts to check when they stop touching and using the touched event when the start touching, but because their might be some inaccuracies if a part stops touching a part just for a split second you might want to use tick() to deal with potential false-positives so in a theoretical sense it would go something like this: local ActiveThreads = {} function TouchHandler(Part, OnTouchFunc, OnTouc…

Are u using a hitbox on the zombies or are using all parts on the zombie. Detecting multiple parts on a singular zombie will lead to multiple hits. I would suggest welding a hitbox to each zombie and detect collisions with that.

[Y35X (Maxatal)]

That was more or less my fault, I always end up forgetting that you can search directly via the forums. I used google for searching, which ended up showing nothing useful.

My bad.

It’s only using one object, A hitbox. Either way previous commenter had solved this.
