Click detector not recognizing when i hover over it or click it

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

this script makes click detectors for all the models in the items folder in the workspace. it works fine but the click detectors it clones don’t do anything at all. any help would be much appreciated 🫡 thank you

local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Town.MakeClickDetectors

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	for i,v in ipairs(game.Workspace.items:GetChildren()) do
		local clickThingy = game.ReplicatedStorage.Town.ClickDetector:Clone() -- clones it from replicated storage
		clickThingy.Parent = v -- puts detector inside model
		clickThingy.itemClicked.Disabled = false -- enables the script inside the detector
	end
end)

Did you connect a function to the MouseClick or MouseHoverEnter events after cloning it? It won’t do anything if you don’t do that.

Did you use anything related to ContextActionService? I had this same problem once.

Is MaxActivationDistance too short? That might also explain your problem.

Here’s what I want you to do:

If the following doesn’t work, then go to the line below and see if it works.

  • And are you sure this is being ran? You can individually print each line to see which parts are running or not.

  • If all of it is successful, then try to check if the clickdetector is enabled, and maybe even test it on a smaller part.

  • If none of that works, then it may be an overlapping issue.

ok none of those worked and click detectors don’t have an enabled property btw

#14

So it doesn’t print, I’m guessing? or does it?

well the detectors don’t recognize when i click them so that part doesn’t work and yes the detectors are being cloned correctly

it brings up a menu for the build mode that allows you to do things like delete furniture etc

local ClickDetector = script.Parent

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	local options = game.ReplicatedStorage.Town.itemOptions:Clone()
	options.Parent = player.PlayerGui.popUps
	options.itemName = script.Parent.Parent.Name
	options.itemPosX = script.Parent.Parent.main.Position.X
	options.itemPosY = script.Parent.Parent.main.Position.Y
	options.itemPosZ = script.Parent.Parent.main.Position.Z
end)
