how do i prevent a part from moving with two conditions:

  1. not anchored

  2. NO deprecated instances

Not sure why wouldnt you want to have it anchored, as it is the most right way to do what you wanna do, but anyway

local startPos = part.Position
while task.wait() do
   part.Position = startPos
end

or to be easier on performance

local startPos = part.Position

part:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Position"):Connect(function()

part.Position = startPos

end)

Script based approach may work as @Denz_Noviembre said. Here’s a physics based approach:

local workspace = game:GetService("Workspace");

local part = script.Parent;
local force = part.VectorForce;

local function updateForce()
	force.Force = Vector3.new(0, workspace.Gravity * part:GetMass(), 0);
end

workspace:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Gravity"):Connect(updateForce);
updateForce();

This is equivalent to putting an object in space with no gravity. Imagine you hit the object downwards or any direction. The object would just go in that direction… continously, unless it hit something.

Pretty much, yes. Basically I’m cancelling out the weight of the part (W = mg). You can go more in depth and look for position changes and apply a cancelling force but it’s too much work imo.

i need to detect touch with an anchored item

Pretty sure that the :Touched() event still fires for anchored parts…
