I didn’t name my parts… so very inconvenient. Any ideas? It’s for a badge

How to Make A Model Detect TOuch

Like, for a thing to trigger every time a Player comes in contact with one of the Parts inside the Model?

#3

Yes, but every single part in the model
By the way, I loved get a drink at 3am

#5 
local Model = workspace.yourModel

for _,Part:Part in Model:GetChildren() do
	Part.Touched:Connect(function(partThatTouched)
		print(`Part {Part} from model {Model} was touched by {partThatTouched}`)
	end)
end

Is this what you wanted to do?

Yes, but there are models inside of the model, what should I do about that/

You would use :GetDescendants() on the Model instead, since that would look through everything contained within that Model to the very last layer.

However, depending on what you are trying to achieve with this, connecting a Touched event to every part within the model could be very intensive, so keep in mind that there may be other, more performant solutions for what you’re trying to create.

#8 
local Model = workspace.yourModel

for _,Part:Part in Model:GetDescendants() do
	if not Part:IsA("Part") then continue end -- Makes sure we're only selecting parts
	Part.Touched:Connect(function(partThatTouched)
		print(`Part {Part} from model {Model} was touched by {partThatTouched}`)
	end)
end

This code should work.

This is true, and @Cookie_Byte should probably rethink how they’re going to go about this.

If the model happens to have a humanoid you can use Humanoid.Touched which automatically includes all of the parts in it (though I doubt your model has a Humanoid)

I have a quick question since I am not familiar with this; what does the :Part do in that section of the loop? Not sure if it was a typo or if it’s something related to typechecking that I don’t know much about.

It’s typechecking. Very useful for autocomplete and bugproofing your code.
