Instance.Touched not firing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I am making a flood survival game. I want to do something that when the flood water(which is a part) touches a welded part, the weld in it is destroyed so if a building is welded together it will fall down as the water touches it.

But for some reason the touched event is not firing. I have tried putting in some prints but it is not printing anything in the output and also no errors are there. I haven’t tried any solutions yet because I can’t think of any. Searching on the internet also didn’t help.

Any help is appreciated!

Here is the script which is located inside the ‘water part’.

local flood = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values.Flood

flood.Changed:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Transparency = 0.3
	script.Parent.Partsoo.Transparency = 0.3

    while not flood.Value == false do
        script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-1)
        wait(0.01)
    end

    script.Parent.Position = Vector3.new(-926.5, -21.25, 483.375)
	script.Parent.Partsoo.Position = Vector3.new(-926.75, -21.25, 168.75)
    script.Parent.Size = Vector3.new(339.5, 9, 616.25)
    script.Parent.Transparency = 0
	script.Parent.Partsoo.Transparency = 0
end)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if plr then
		if plr.Character.Humanoid.Health ~= 0 then
			plr.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
		end
	else
		for _,v in pairs(hit:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("Weld") or v:IsA("ManualWeld") then
				v:Destroy()
			end
		end
	end
end)

.Touched events do not fire for parts that are CFramed into other parts, but only if they are moved there by the physics engine.
You should try using Part:GetTouchingParts every frame and looking for welds in the array returned, or using any other alternative method of finding parts like using Region3s or Rays. The first option is recommended, however.
