How would I exclude a group from the touched event?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

script:

local touched = script.Parent.Parent.PrimaryPart.Touched:Connect(function() end) touched:Disconnect()

I need to exclude a group how would I do that?

Is that all of your script? If not, give us the full script.

all it then does is check if it was hit but I need to exclude a group

		if touched then
			script.Parent.Parent.PrimaryPart.Anchored = true
		else
			script.Parent.Parent.PrimaryPart.Anchored = false
		end
4

Try this:

local part = --wherever the trigger is for the touched event

part.Touched:Connect(function(args)
    local args = --the group you want to exclude
    if args then
        return end
    else
        --code
    end
end)

No it checks if anything is touching it at one time I don’t need to see if its touching when I do not need to see if it is touching script

db = false
game.ReplicatedStorage.Start.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, camPos)
	print("hi")
	local throwOffset = 10 --studs in front of head for part to spawn
	local head = player.Character.Head
	local newPos = head.Position + camPos*throwOffset

	script.Parent.Parent.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(newPos,newPos+camPos)
end)
local touched = script.Parent.Parent.PrimaryPart.Touched:Connect(function() end) touched:Disconnect()
script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	if db == false then
		db = true
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Grab:FireClient(player)
		script.Parent.Parent.PrimaryPart.Anchored = true
	else
		db = false
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Drop:FireClient(player)
		wait(0.5)
		if touched then
			script.Parent.Parent.PrimaryPart.Anchored = true
		else
			script.Parent.Parent.PrimaryPart.Anchored = false
		end
	end
end)

I’m sorry but I am very confused by this grammar

Just use overlap params and then you can blacklist instances

8

Do you want the code to run when the part is not in a certain group?

Don’t know what you cant understand from my script and this line. It has to fire only when I trigger the proximity prompt

Sorry i’m a bit confused. Do you want to set up a touched event when the proximity prompt is triggered? Can you please give some more context?

NO how have you come to this all I need is a way to exclude a group from a touched local event
I do not need a new script or a different way to do it I am just asking a question on how I exclude a model from the script below

12

Something like this?

local BackList = {} -- array of backlisted models here
local Connection
Connection = script.Parent.Parent.PrimaryPart.Touched:Connect(function(Part)
    for i, BacklistedModel in ipairs(BackList) do
        if Part:IsDescendantOf(BacklistedModel) then return end
    end
end)
13

don’t understand how to use it, I can read code but can’t read people describing code as the developer page gives no examples and does not tall me what it does.

14

Another method is just by disabling a property called “CanTouch”

15

That doesn’t work either (fdhsfgjdsh)

16

OverlapParams are used to filter results from functions like GetPartBoundsInBox.

17

Have you also disabled, “CanQuery”?

18

how would I create a blacklist though?

19

Did you try this?

20

I have a question, is it possible to look through a table and see if 1 value is not the descendant of the model?
