ClickDetector Issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve just coded this and can’t figure out what the issue is. It prints “a” and “b”, nothing more.

Script:

for _, Object in next, Workspace.Givers.ClickDetector:GetChildren() do
	print("a")
	if Object.Name == "MonkeyMask" then
		print("b")
		Object.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player)
			print(1)
			local Character = Player.Character
			if Character then
				print(2)
				if not Character:FindFirstChild("MonkeyMask") then
					print(3)
					local NewMask = Object:Clone()
					NewMask.Parent = Character
					NewMask.CFrame = Character.Head.CFrame
					print(4)
					local Weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
					Weld.Part0 = Character.Head
					Weld.Part1 = NewMask
					Weld.Parent = NewMask
					print(5)
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end

What can I say so far, if you want to print the numbers you should put them into “”. I will research more to help you.

If it’s a number, you don’t have to put it into “” for it to print.

#5

Is the script a ServerScript or a LocalScript?

#6

It’s a server script. (------)

#7

I think it does not work because the ClickDetector is in a loop.

#8

No, it should work because he connects a function and functions create a new thread. Think of it as an event listener.

#9

Hey,
try to change the numbers to words!

#10

Again, that isn’t the problem because printing out a number automatically converts it to a string.

#11

Oh sorry,
i forgot print number can not use ""

#12

Any errors? BTW, does the prints work?

#13

Printing out numbers in a string is useless since print automatically converts them as I said.

print("1") -- will work

print(1) -- will also work, think of it like this print(tostring(1))
#14

No, it doesn’t print any errors. The script only prints “a” and “b”.

#15

Where is the script located? charlimit

#16

It’s placed in ServerScriptService.

#17

Just to confirm, the clicking distance is high and you are clicking the part?

#18

Yes, I click the part and it doesn’t detect me clicking.

#19

Can you send me a repro file if possible?

Maybe something like that? I’ve recoded some aspects to make it easier and actually find its ClickDetector, seeing everything that has been discussed here.

for _, object in pairs(Workspace.Givers.ClickDetector:GetChildren()) do -- Changed it to pairs instead of next statements
	print("a")
	if object.Name == "MonkeyMask" then
		print("b")
		object.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player)
			print("c")
			local Character = Player.Character
			if Character ~= nil then
				print("d")
				if Character:FindFirstChild("MonkeyMask") == nil then -- Checks if they already have it
					print("e")
					local NewMask = object:Clone()
					NewMask.Parent = Character
					NewMask.CFrame = Character.Head.CFrame
					print("f")
					local Weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
					Weld.Part0 = Character.Head
					Weld.Part1 = NewMask
					Weld.Parent = NewMask
					print("g")
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end
