If Part touch to Part the script run (Train Traffic Light)

Also does the train have a humanoid? I see you’re checking for a humanoid in the touch event.

#22

Touched events DO NOT fire when both of the parts experiencing the event are .Anchored. Period. I’ve experienced it in my own games, my own experience, and Roblox itself says it in the article. Read it before you talk.

Oh, you mean both parts being anchored. Then yeah.

So aggressive lol.

#24

You should check before you make claims like that, not to be rude or anything.

Check for something else like


local deb = false
local Signal1 = script.Parent.SignalParts.Red
local Signal2 = script.Parent.SignalParts.Yellow
local Signal3 = script.Parent.SignalParts.Green

Touch.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if not deb then
deb = true
	local thing = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(YOUR_THING_HERE)
	if thing then
		Signal1.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		Signal2.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
		Signal3.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
		wait(60)
		Signal1.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
		Signal2.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		Signal3.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
		wait(30)
		Signal1.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
		Signal2.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
		Signal3.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
end
deb = false
	end
end)

Replace “YOUR_THING_HERE” with a part of the train.

Ex. Wheels, Tank engine

It worked. Can you explain how it goes? I want to know about lua more.

This is exactly what i’ve been saying. Simply use this method, or any other method that doesn’t rely on the existents of another part. Like raycasting in a specific direction. If part the intersect the ray is a descendant of the train, You can run the code.

Yeah sure,
So instead of checking for a humanoid, which the train has none of, we check for a train exclusive part. Like a wheel or a section. Not everyday you see a player with wheels right?

I don’t recommend this method. A good practice in programming would be to make your code reusable as possible. Of course, it’s fine if it’s the only “train” in the game, but if there are multiple trains, there could be a possibility that there won’t be THAT specific part in another train.

Just rename the trains to unique names or attributes lol. Simple fix.

Also pretty sure all the trains would behave the same way in this case.
