How can I make parts that are touched by an explosion disappear after 5 seconds? (Not solved)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have this script, Of a rocket launcher:

    	if ExplodeEvent then
		Rocket.Touched:Connect(function(TouchPart)
			if not IGNORE_LIST[string.lower(TouchPart.Name)] and not TouchPart:IsDescendantOf(Character) then
				ExplodeEvent:FireServer(Rocket.Position)
				if callFunction == false then
					callFunction = true
					LocalTouchSound:play()
					callFunction = false
				end
			end
		end
	)end
end

And I want to make that every part the explosion of the rocket launcher touches, Will disappear after 5 seconds.
Can someone help me please/

Well, The explosion object has a hit event that you could use for this purpose, coupled with the delay function, you can make something like this:

Explosion.Hit:Connect(function(part,distance)
   delay(5,function()
      part:Destroy()
   end)
end)

I tried this, But it only destroys one part, The first part the rocket touches, Even though much more parts are falling out of the building.

#4

Interesting, when i tried this out, multiple parts were detecteddemo

I would suggest modifying the BlastRadius, as that determines what parts are detected by the Hit Event.

#5

The blast radius is fine, Maybe I’m not putting the function in the right place…
Here is the full script:

#6

it appears that you are using Rocket.Touched, as opposed to Explosion.Hit, which gets parts touched by the rocket, rather than the explosion, furthermore, you are destroying parts in a localscript, which would not replicate to the server

#7

There’s also a server script inside the rocket launcher…

local Tool = script.Parent
local Handle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")
local EquipSound = Handle:WaitForChild("EquipSound")
local ReloadSound = Handle:WaitForChild("ReloadSound")

local Resources = require(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Resources"))
local RocketCreator = require(Resources:GetResource("RocketCreator"))
local BufferCreator = require(Resources:GetResource("BufferCreator"))
local RemoteEventCreator = require(Resources:GetResource("RemoteEventCreator"))
local Configuration = require(Resources:GetResource("Configuration"))

local ROCKET_RELOAD_TIME = Configuration.ROCKET_RELOAD_TIME

local RocketBuffer = BufferCreator:CreateServerBuffer("RocketBuffer")
local FireRocketEvent = RemoteEventCreator:CreateRemoteEvent("FireRocket")

local CurrentPlayer,CurrentCharacter
local CurrentHandRocket,CurrentRocket
local Equipped = false
local ToolEnabled = true



--Adds a rocket to the buffer.
local function AddBufferRocket()
	local NewRocket = RocketCreator:CreateRocket(true)
	CurrentRocket = NewRocket
	RocketBuffer:AddItem(NewRocket)
end
AddBufferRocket()




--Set up firing the rocket.
FireRocketEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	if Player == CurrentPlayer and ToolEnabled then
		ToolEnabled = false
		Tool.Enabled = false
		CurrentRocket = RocketBuffer:PopItem() or CurrentRocket
		
		local FiredBy = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
		FiredBy.Name = "FiredBy"
		FiredBy.Value = Player
		FiredBy.Parent = CurrentRocket
		
		wait(ROCKET_RELOAD_TIME)
		AddBufferRocket()
		ToolEnabled = true
		Tool.Enabled = true
	end
end)

--Set up equipping and unequipping the tool.
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	if not Equipped then
		Equipped = true
		
		CurrentCharacter = Tool.Parent
		CurrentPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(CurrentCharacter)
		EquipSound:Play()
		
		--Create the left hand rocket.
		local LeftGripAttachment = CurrentCharacter:FindFirstChild("LeftGripAttachment",true)
		if LeftGripAttachment then
			CurrentHandRocket = RocketCreator:CreateRocket(false)
			CurrentHandRocket.Name = "HandRocket"
			CurrentHandRocket.Transparency  = 1
			CurrentHandRocket.Parent = Tool
			
			local Weld = Instance.new("Weld")
			Weld.Part0 = LeftGripAttachment.Parent
			Weld.Part1 = CurrentHandRocket
			Weld.C0 = LeftGripAttachment.CFrame
			Weld.C1 = CFrame.Angles(0,math.pi,0)
			Weld.Parent = CurrentHandRocket
		end
		
		RocketBuffer:SetCurrentPlayer(CurrentPlayer)
	end
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	if Equipped then
		Equipped = false
		
		CurrentCharacter = nil
		CurrentPlayer = nil
		EquipSound:Stop()
		if CurrentHandRocket then CurrentHandRocket:Destroy() end
		RocketBuffer:SetCurrentPlayer()
	end
end)

Maybe I should put it somewhere here?

Another method you could use is Debris, works the same as Destroy but it doesn’t yield:

local debris = game:GetService("Debris");

Explosion.Hit:Connect(function(part,distance)
debris:AddItem(part, 7);
end)
#9

It says “Unknown global exploshion”…
should I use “Rocket” instead?

#10

It was just an example, adjust it to your script accordingly.

#11

Well, I tried it with rocket on the local script, Still doesn’t work…

#12

Assuming you copied the error word for word, exploshion should be explosion

#13

Yes, That what I mean - explosion****

#14

I’m still having problem with it… i tried many more ways to make the parts disappear… Nothing works

#15

Where you make the explosion, connect a function to remove part to the .hit event of that specific explosion

#16

What you could do, rather than listening to touch events if they for whatever reason do not work, is use region3 to collect all the parts in a certain radius once the explosion explodes

untested pseudocode;

function rocketExploded()
      local position = rocket.Position
      local point1 = position-Vector3.new(5,5,5)
      local point2 = position+Vector3.new(5,5,5)
      local region = Region3.new(point1,point2)
      local parts = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(region)

      for _, part in pairs(parts) do
          game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(part,5)
      end
end
#17

I tried making hit event with the rocket…
Not working.

#18

The first one, is “local function rocketExploded()”? Or without local?

#19

It doesn’t really matter with functions unless they are within other functions. I would personally put it as local function rocketExploded() but I know some developers prefer not to.

#20

It seems to work, But very laggy and it makes the parts stuck in the air, then just disappear…
How can I add a delay or wait to that function? (between rocket shots)
