I’m trying to find a good way to detect collisions between players’ character models. In a group vs. group of players scenario, I want to be able to catch when a player’s model hits another player’s model, determine if they are on the same team and if not then fire some code. What’s a good/efficient way of going about this? I don’t want to cycle through the player’s character models to repeatedly run code to check. I thought maybe collision groups could work but I don’t know if that would even work/how I would detect a collision.
Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Or even if the solution is blatantly obvious and I’ve missed it
you could just use BasePart.Touched on the HumanoidRootPart
If that doesn’t work, you could create a transparent colliding part that is sized to fit the entire character and weld it to the HumanoidRootPart.
Something along the lines of this:
function addBody(body)
body:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart').Touched:connect(function(hit)
local otherPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if otherPlayer then
print(body.Name..' and '..otherPlayer.Name..' collided!'
end
end)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(newPlayer)
newPlayer.CharacterAdded:connect(addBody)
end)
This method would be good, i personally recommend the hitbox option with the transparent part, just put a part that is roughly the size of their character model and use that to detect collisions with the touched event. This method looks a little better than the HumanoidRootPart method as it can also account for Limbs such as a player jumping on another players head.
Thanks! That suits what I was trying to achieve and I think I’ll also incorporate the hitbox to catch if the limbs are touched too. Appreciate your help
