Having trouble detecting if model(player) stopped touching a part!

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 want to detect when the model of the character is not touching the part
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I do not know how to go about that!
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have searched online and haven’t found a way to do this
    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!

Script if it helps:

Part=script.Parent
hitBox=Part.Parent.hitBox
hitBox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	
	if hit.Parent.FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		player=game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		player:WaitForChild("OV").StrAreaMulti.Value=2
		
	end
	
end)

hitBox.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)--causes the area multi to immediately switch to 1
	if hit.Parent.FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		player=game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		player:WaitForChild("OV").StrAreaMulti.Value=1
		
	end
end)

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

Sorry, I’m having trouble understanding what you truly want to happen. Do you want to make zones?

#3

Okay, so I have re-written your code, and the main issue I found was that your use of variables, which is more like a personal nitpick but the use of FindFirstChild is incorrect. Please try the script I have provided below and let me know if it works or not!

local Part = script.Parent
local HitBox = Part.Parent.HitBox


HitBox.Touched:Connect(function (hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then 
        local PlayerFromTouch = game.Players[hit.Parent.Name]
        PlayerFromTouch:WaitForChild('OV').StrAreaMulti.Value = 2
    end
end)

HitBox.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)--causes the area multi to immediately switch to 1
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local PlayerFromTouch = game.Players[hit.Parent]
		PlayerFromTouch:WaitForChild("OV").StrAreaMulti.Value = 1
	end
end)

i would like to know how to detect if a model stopped touching a part. Thanks for asking! I’ll edit the title so it will be less confusing

#5

thanks for the feedback! I will implement this asap

The developer site has included a reference manual for this event,
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/BasePart/TouchEnded

i am aware that the developer site has included a reference manual for the “TouchEnded” event, but I would like to know a way for it to work for models! The reason is because I needed to know when the player left the zone( stopped touching the hitbox) to set the multi back to one.

So you are trying to see if a player stops touching a model?

Then you’d have to filter out the models children which are BaseParts and then connect the .TouchEnded function you made to each one of them.

A Model does not have the exact same properties as a part, and it does not have the .Touched or .TouchedEnded events.

If you can send me a screenshot of your output and/or your explorer where you kept the “Hitbox” it can help me figure out a solution for you.

That would be really helpful! Thanks!

#11

Can you send a screenshot of the output after running the code?

#12

try this

local Part = script.Parent
local HitBox = Part.Parent.HitBox


HitBox.Touched:Connect(function (hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then 
        local PlayerFromTouch = game.Players[hit.Parent.Name]
        PlayerFromTouch:WaitForChild('OV').StrAreaMulti.Value = 2
    end
end)

HitBox.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)--causes the area multi to immediately switch to 1
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local PlayerFromTouch = game.Players[hit.Parent.Name]
		PlayerFromTouch:WaitForChild("OV").StrAreaMulti.Value = 1
	end
end)

Hi! i put the output of the code into Interactivated’s reply!

#15

Try this

local Part = script.Parent
local HitBox = Part.Parent.HitBox


HitBox.Touched:Connect(function (hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then 
        local PlayerFromTouch = game.Players[hit.Parent.Name]
        PlayerFromTouch:WaitForChild('OV').StrAreaMulti.Value = 2
    end
end)

HitBox.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)--causes the area multi to immediately switch to 1
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local PlayerFromTouch = game.Players[hit.Parent.Name]
		PlayerFromTouch:WaitForChild("OV").StrAreaMulti.Value = 1
	end
end)

This has the same problem that I listed in the comments of the code. The touch ended undoes the multi increase! I’ll try to implement your solution* not allus_ion’s now! I’ll still be periodically check on this thread

Honestly you should just switch to Magnitude, it’s a lot more reliable than Touched event, especially when it comes to zones
