How to detect if a player is on top of a Part using `.Touched`

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Is there a way using

Instance.Touched:Connect(function() end)

Can I detect if a players HumanoidRootPart is above the part.

Checking if there's a part or object above the character's head

Yes, you can. You just need to create an argument so you can know additional things about the touching part.

Instance.Touched:Connect(function(argm)
if argm.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
print("Player found!")
end
end)

Not entirely what I am asking for.

You could rename “Humanoid” to “HumanoidRootPart” if you really need to detect it.

#5

Use RayCasting.

Fire a ray downwards from the HumanoidRootPart when a player touches the part. Check if the ray’s result.Instance is the part.

I will try this.

Hopefully it works.

You would need to use dot products in that case then.
Something like this:

local Dot = script.Parent.CFrame.LookVector:Dot(argm.CFrame.LookVector)

I’m not an expert at this so if it doesn’t work then try playing around changing the LookVector to another vector.
