Is there a way to make a click detector ignore a certain part?

So I was wondering, can I make it so that a click detector will act like a certain part is not covering it when it actually is so that the player could click through the part?

Can you elaborate on this? what are you trying to do? Yes it can be done.

According to this forum…

…you can filter out the object covering the click detector by scripting this in a local script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
mouse.TargetFilter = --path to object you'd like to filter

I don’t personally see anything wrong with that statement.

Ryuun’s statement, it’s perfectly logical.

Unfortunately, I tested this and it does not work for click detectors in parts.

Try this I hope this works!

NOTE: Make sure to add the ClickDetector. DO NOT ADD IT Into the ClickDetector but add the ClickDetector and the script in the model.

local tool = game.ServerStorage["Hot Cup"]

local klone = tool:clone()

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect (function(plr)

if klone.Parent ~= plr.Backpack then

klone.Parent = plr.Backpack

else

end

end)

Unfortunately, this is actually not possible with Click Detectors. If you want a player to click a part that’s blocked by another, you’ll have to filter out the object inside a local script like so…

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
mouse.TargetFilter = --path to object you'd like to filter

…and check if the client clicks/taps on the part.

local button = --path to button
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function() --for every time a player clicks/taps
	local target = mouse.Target
	if target == button  then --checks if what the player clicked is the button

	end
end)
