What highlight effect do you mean? I can help you create a Touch event though.

To basically create a touch event, what you do is:

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
-- code
end
end)

You get the event of the part being touched, make sure the part touching it can be identified as a player, and basically do your code from there.

Thanks but i already got the touch event

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local h = hit.Parent.Humanoid
	if h then

end
end)

i just dont know how to give the highlight effect :confused:

Alright so in order to give the highlight effect, just clone it and parent it to the HumanoidRootPart of the character.

You can do so by this:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local h = hit.Parent.Humanoid
	
	if h then
		local highlight = workspace.Dummy.Highlight:Clone() -- Just identify where the dummy is
		highlight.Parent = hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
	end
end)

it does not work ( is it not possible to just give like particle effect etc? )

What is the dummy parented to?

7

it is parented to the workspace

Oh, my fault.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local h = hit.Parent.Humanoid
	
	if h then
		local highlight = workspace.Dummy.Highlight:Clone() -- Just identify where the dummy is
		highlight.Parent = hit.Parent
	end
end)

Try doing this? Also what part is being touched? (Where do you have the script?)

Great it worked ! But how would you remove the effect if the player is not in the area anymore?

That’s a whole different topic, it depends what area you’re talking about. If its a region, I recommend looking into Region3 on youtube, and if the player is no longer in the Region, you can use the :Destroy() function on the highlight

sorry i mean the part how can remove the effect if the player dont touch the part but if he re touch the part the player will got again the effect?

Oh, so basically you would create a connection or while loop to detect the player touching and not touching the part.

I’m just going to use the part’s events to keep it simple:

local debounce = false -- debounce is to add certain limits to an event or something occurring.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local h = hit.Parent.Humanoid

	if h then
		if not debounce then -- Determining if the debounce is set to false
			debounce = true
			local highlight = workspace.Dummy.Highlight:Clone() -- Just identify where the dummy is
			highlight.Parent = hit.Parent
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	local h = hit.Parent.Humanoid

	if h then
		if debounce then -- If debounce is true
			debounce = false
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Highlight") then
				hit.Parent.Highlight:Destroy()
			end
		end
	end
end)
