How to reference multiple parts with the same name and location?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Currently using this script to detect if a player is touching a part:

local Part = workspace.FreeMove
Part.Touched:Connect(function() end) -- Just for a TouchInterest to occur on a CanCollide false part

function CheckIfPlayerIsInArea(Part,Character)
	local touching = Part:GetTouchingParts()
	for i=1,#touching do
		if touching[i] == Character.HumanoidRootPart then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end

How do I implement this with multiple parts called workspace.FreeMove? (I want this function to apply to all parts with that name)

Please let me know if you need more information!

Do you want do check if player is in area?

#3

I would say you would want to update the variable of the part in a for loop and add 1 major connection (which would also update per part) for the Touched event.

#4 
for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do 
     if v.Name == "FreeMove" then
          local Part = workspace.FreeMove
          Part.Touched:Connect(function() end) -- Just for a TouchInterest to occur on a CanCollide false part
    end
end

function CheckIfPlayerIsInArea(Part,Character)
	local touching = Part:GetTouchingParts()
	for i=1,#touching do
		if touching[i] == Character.HumanoidRootPart then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end
#5

This does not work, it still only uses one of the FreeMove parts.

So if you are making ckeckpoints why aren’t you doing something like this:

local chackpoints = workspace.Checkpoints

for _, checkpoint in ipairs(checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
   if checkpoint:IsA("BasePart") then
      checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
         if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
            local player = game.Players:GetPlaerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
            player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new()
         end
      end)
   end
end

Also why are you using teams to make checkpoints?

#7

I’m using teams because this is just a prototype.

Anyway, no I’m not looking to make checkpoints. My game does not allow you to go backwards (left), nor stand still. The semi-transparent areas are supposed to be safe, where you can move backwards and stand still.

#8 
for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do 
     if v.Name == "FreeMove" then
          v.Touched:Connect(function() end) --TouchInterest will appear in all FreeMove parts
    end
end

function CheckIfPlayerIsInArea(Part,Character)
	local touching = Part:GetTouchingParts()
	for i=1,#touching do
		if touching[i] == Character.HumanoidRootPart then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end
