How to check if ViewModel part was touched

[ddenyz (v_v)]

In this ViewModel how could I check if “Cart” is being touched with another part?

(red circle is what is what i need to check if touched)

[NxrkApple]

maybe
(script within the cart)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print(hit.Name)
end)

this should tell you the name of a part that cart is touching

[ddenyz (v_v)]

it wont even print out if the card is being touched, but it prints anything else that touches it

[NxrkApple]

so you want to check if “cart” is being touched by the “scanner” shown in the picture?

[ddenyz (v_v)]

Yes. That’s the main purpose of it.

[NxrkApple]

just put the same script inside the scanner then

if you want to make it open a door for example you can do:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Name == "Cart" then
--open door
end
end)

[ddenyz (v_v)]

just tried it and got nothing

[NxrkApple]

does the part has CanTouch option checked?

[ddenyz (v_v)]

yes it does

ssssssssssssssssss

.Touched only works for physics interaction and not for CFrame based interaction like an anchored viewmodel. Therefore it may not be the most reliable method.

I recommend using raycasting from the camera for more efficiency, or workspace:GetPartsInPart() for accuracy in a loop.
