Better alternative to .Touched?

[Patatje_0073]

In my game i have these “Training areas” that when the player enters them give the player a boost but it uses the .Touched function that fires a lot of events at the same time. example: 15:59:13.317 Touched (x32)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then
		if player.leaderstats.Power.Value >= 1000000000000 and player.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
			player.multi.Value = 50
			print("Touched")
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then
		player.multi.Value = 1
		print("unTouched")
	end
end)

Probably because you count all the limbs as a touch.

You should make a table for every player that entered the area and remove them when they leave the area, obviously make checks using the table to make sure the same player doesn’t get added 2+ times

I’ve written a solution to this problem in this thread:

How to detect when a player is touching and touching a part

local part = workspace.Part -- or path to part local limbs = table.create(game.Players.MaxPlayers) part.Touched:Connect(function(hit) if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then -- limb of player local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) if limbs[player] then table.insert(limbs[player], hit) else limbs[player] = { hit, } -- do stuff for first limb touched end end end) part.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit) if game.Players:…

As mentioned by Cenn, try to use tables to store values.

Here’s an example of a system you could use. I haven’t tested it, but should work.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local universePlayers = {}
local universePlates = {} -- Store your plates here or manually call them in the scritps below.

local function steppedOn(user, pad)
	if user.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local character = user.Parent
		local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

		if not table.find(universePlayers, player) then
			table.insert(universePlayers, player)
		else
			return warn("Player already in table")
		end
		yourBoostFunction()
	end
end

local function steppedOff(user, pad)
	if user.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local character = user.Parent
		local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

		if table.find(universePlayers, player) then
			local removeIndex = table.find(universePlayers, player)
			table.remove(universePlayers, removeIndex)
		else
			return warn("Player not found in table...?")
		end
	end
end

for i, v in pairs(universePlates) do
	if v:IsA("Model") then 
		v.HitBox.Touched:Connect(function(p)
			steppedOn(p,v)
		end)
		v.HitBox.TouchEnded:Connect(function(p)
			steppedOff(p,v)
		end)
	end
end
