Coin Piles not being collected on MouseClick

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am trying to make a single script (ServerScriptService) that when you click a coin pile (in my case a haybale) you receive some hay. No errors are occurring but it is not working at all. I don’t know what’s wrong. Before, I had a script under each individual hay bale on the map. It was working but is not convenient and when making changes will be very tedious. Plus I think some performance issues may arise in future maps???

*Old Script

local db = false 
local hay = script.Parent
local clickDetector = hay.ClickDetector

clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	if not db then
		db = true
		hay.Transparency = 1
		local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
		local hay  = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Hay")
		hay.Value = hay.Value + 50
	end
	wait(1.5)
	hay.Transparency = 0
	
	hay.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(69,186), 3, math.random(-171,-41))
	db = false
end)

*New Script

local db = false 
local hay = game.Workspace.HayLocations:GetChildren("Hay")
if hay then
	local clickDetector = hay.ClickDetector 
	if clickDetector then
		clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
			if not db then
				db = true
				hay.Transparency = 1
				local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
				local hay  = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Hay")
				hay.Value = hay.Value + 50
			end
			wait(1.5)
			hay.Transparency = 0
			hay.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(69,186), 3, math.random(-171,-41))
			db = false
		end)
	end
end

make sure that hay.CanQuery = true

#3

maybe do

for i, hay in pairs(game.Workspace.Haylocations:GetChildren()) do
    local db = false 
    local clickDetector = hay.ClickDetector

    clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	if not db then
		db = true
		hay.Transparency = 1
		local leaderstats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
		local hay  = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Hay")
		hay.Value = hay.Value + 50
	end
	wait(1.5)
	hay.Transparency = 0
	
	hay.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(69,186), 3, math.random(-171,-41))
	db = false
end)
end

	end
end)

What does CanQuery do exactly?

#6

It works! Thanks a lot! I’m not quite sure why it works though? Could you clarify please?

#7

basically, all I did was I took your old code, but instead having it in each hay part I made a loop that went through the workspace.Haylocations then had it basically write the click detector code for each child of the workspace.Haylocations.

if its off the part will not be able to be interacted with the mouse. basically to the mouse the part will be non existent
