Destroy character's HumanoidRootPart script not working

[TaffyToast01 (TaffyToast)]

I have this script that is supposed remove a characters HumanoidRootPart whenever they touch it, but it doesn’t work. This is the Output.

Also here’s the script.

local debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if not debounce then
		debounce = true
		local char = game.Workspace.CharlotteOfficeDoor(hit.Parent)
		if char == nil or char.CharlotteOfficeDoor:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") == nil then return end
		char.CharlotteOfficeDoor.HumanoidRootPart:Destroy()
		debounce = false
	end
end)

Line 6 Your attempting to call a method on a instance value which will not work. I’m guessing your trying to get the character so you should just do

		local char = hit.Parent

[GRIMNO1RE (Noire)]

Since accessory models are parented to their Accessory object and not the character, this method is no longer viable (although enviously simple .)

The best practice that will give you the least issues currently is using FindFirstAncestorOfClass on your hit part to find the ancestor Model, then using Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(ancestorModel) to confirm that your model belongs to a player and as such means it is a character.

I wish it was still this easy but using hit.Parent will give you inconsistent results. Cheers!
