How do I detect when a local part is touched

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a gui that creates a local part and I would like to detect when it has been touched so it can fire a RemoteEvent however the local part does not respond to when it is touched.

	game.ReplicatedStorage.ProgressMission:FireServer(script.Parent.Name)
	script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

That is the server script which is inside the part that is cloned. Im not really sure how I can detect when a local part is touched with a script inside of the part

Is the part duplicated in a local script?

If so, it won’t fire I believe as it’s only on the client side and therefore is not actually there in the server, so nothing happens to the server.

Can you show us your full code?

#4

So there is no way to interact with parts created in a localscript

#5

You can create a .Touched event on the client(local script) after the server fires the remote event.

#6

You shouldn’t be using the server-side for this situation at all, not sure why that’s there. You’re also overthinking the requirements here. Just connect to Touched on the part from a LocalScript, fire the remote and then destroy the part.

The server can’t use FireServer and there’s no need to have a server script in the part either.

Ok since the local script is destroyed after it creates the part i made a new localscript that detects when the part is touched which appears to be working :slight_smile:
