How do I make a local touch event

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a part that disappears when a player touches it for example, Player 1 touches a part and player 1 no longer can see the part, but player 2 who did not touch the part yet still sees the part.

This code is local script located in starter player scripts

local part = game.Workspace.SunFragment1.sunfragment – a part

part.Touched:Connect(function(PartTouched)
	if PartTouched.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")then
		part:Destroy()
	end
end)

I haven’t found any solutions yet to this problem.

This script should be going into the part or in workspace (recommend the part) and then adjust your values to fit, etc…

Then because this isn’t in game.Players.PlayerScripts, it should work better?

Make sure your script is where a local script can run (not workspace , serverstorage or serverscriptservice)

local part = game.Workspace.SunFragment1.sunfragment
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

part.Touched:Connect(function(PartTouched) 
	if PartTouched.Parent.Name == Player.Name then -- If the players name = the player then it destorys the part on his client and not others
		part:Destroy()
	end
end)

You’re likely facing this issue because the .Touched event on each client will detect that the part was touched and destroy it when it’s touched, no matter which client touched it. Just check if the name matches the client’s name after it’s touched and before it’s destroyed.

if PartTouched.Parent.Name == game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name then
	part:Destroy()
end

In which case, I have suggested with recommendation that he would place the local script within the part and adjust the values from there…

Local Scripts don’t work inside the workspace

#7

They do work when you put them in parts?
edit: nvm no they dont

#8

Only in the player character but not anywhere else inside the workspace.
