Disabling player collisions

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I’m trying to make players not collide, R6 and R15.

  1. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!

I have tried it with different scripts, but it doesn’t work.

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

I have already tried YouTube tutorials and Toolbox models, but they didn’t work.

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

This is the script I’m using at the moment:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")

local GroupName = "Players"
PhysicsService:RegisterCollisionGroup(GroupName)
PhysicsService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable(GroupName, GroupName, false)

local function ChangeGroup(part)
	if part:IsA("BasePart") then
		part.CollisionGroup = GroupName
	end
end

local function HandleCharacterAdded(character)
	for _, part in ipairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		ChangeGroup(part)
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		HandleCharacterAdded(character)

		character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(object)
			ChangeGroup(object)
		end)
	end)
end)

Make sure it’s a server script (not a LocalScript or ModuleScript) inside of ServerScriptService.

(I added the wrong script.)

Try changing CharacterAdded to CharacterAppearanceLoaded, sometimes using charcter added glitches for me, but appearence loaded seems to fix. So something like this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")


local GroupName = "Players"
PhysicsService:RegisterCollisionGroup(GroupName)
PhysicsService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable(GroupName, GroupName, false)

function setCollisions(char: Model)
	for _, part in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
		if part:IsA("BasePart") then
			if part.CollisionGroup == GroupName then continue end
			
			part.CollisionGroup = GroupName
		end
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(char)
		setCollisions(char)
	end)
end)



end)

This worked fine for me in studio.

CharacterAppearanceLoaded only appears to fire once for me, the first time their avatar is loaded, and not when they respawn, at least when I last tested it which was years ago.

Fires when the player respawns for me

Not sure why that wasn’t the case when I tested years back, but it does seem to work every respawn now.

I figured it out, this script worked:

plrs = game:GetService("Players")
ps = game:GetService("PhysicsService") -- Physics service
ps:RegisterCollisionGroup("plrs")
ps:CollisionGroupSetCollidable("plrs","plrs",false)

plrs.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(chr)
		repeat wait() until plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart ~= nil
		wait(2)
		for i, value in pairs(chr:GetChildren()) do
			if value:IsA("BasePart") then
				value.CollisionGroup = "plrs"
			end
		end
	end)
end)
