For count loop not working in Touched function

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so I’ve been trying to make a knock-off elixir pump, and as a prototype for “collecting” the elixir, the player must touch the valve to collect the elixir when it’s full. Yet from the ‘print(“hit2”)’ and down the code doesn’t work. Any fix?

local db = false
local aether = script.Parent
local i = 0 -- elixir size count
local valve = script.Parent.Parent.Valve.ValveHandle
local finished = false

if i < 10 and finished == false then
	for count = 1, 100 do
		wait(0.1)
		i = i + 0.1
		aether.Size = Vector3.new(i, 4.7, 4.7)
		if i >= 10 then
			finished = true
		end
	end
end

valve.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	print("hit")
	if hit.Name == "ValveHandle" and finished == true then
		print("hit2")
		for count = 1, 100 do
			wait(0.01)
			i = i - 0.1
			aether.Size = Vector3.new(i, 4.7, 4.7)
		end
	end
end)

I just don’t get why you don’t just tween the things size in a second using TweenService like for example:

local db = false
local aether = script.Parent
local i = 0 -- elixir size count
local valve = script.Parent.Parent.Valve.ValveHandle
local finished = false

local TweenDown = TweenService:create(aether, TweenInfo.new(1), {Size = {Vector3.new(the size you wanna tween)}

local TweenUp = TweenService:create(aether, TweenInfo.new(1), {Size = {Vector3.new(the size you wanna tween)}

TweenDown:Play()

repeat wait() until TweenDown.Completed
Finished = true

valve.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

if hit.Name== "ValveHandle" and finished == true then -- you know the hit is apart of the player character right?

TweenUp:Play()

repeat wait() until TweenUp.Completed

end

end

I don’t really have experience with Tweens and that’s why…

But to answer your question why this isn’t working

Probably because it’s not finding “ValveHandle” on which part of the character is hitting the vavle.

ooh, tysm! I just thought it worked normally, I’ll fix the problem

I researched a bit and found out part touched event cannot be triggered by tweening IF the part is anchored. Is that true?

and if it is, is there any way to go around it as simple as possible?

EDIT: I found that now, the problem is “and finished == true” in:

valve.Touched:Connect(function(hit, player)
	print("b")
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and finished == true then
		print("Character Detected")
		TweenUp:Play()
		repeat wait() until TweenUp.Completed
	end
end)

I’ve done it without “finished == true” and it works.
