Issue with .Touched event only working in studio

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have been working on something that functions as rain whilst inside a building. My main concern is that this local script only works when tested inside of studio. As soon as this is ran in the published version, it doesn’t work. I’ve done some printing testing and it doesn’t fire the .Touched event at all. I’ve looked around for similar situations, but to no avail. Posted below are the snippets affected by the problem. Any help on this issue is appreciated.

local function TouchEndedCheck(v)
	if DebounceVariable == false and workspace[player.Name]:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Sit == false then	
		DebounceVariable = true
		if v:GetTouchingParts() ~= nil then
			ReverbType.AmbientReverb = Enum.ReverbType.Forest
			local TrueTable = 1
			for i,g in pairs(v:GetTouchingParts()) do
				if g:IsDescendantOf(workspace[player.Name]) == true  then
					TrueTable = 0
				end
			end
			if player:WaitForChild("RainMuffled").Playing == true and TrueTable == 1 then
				print("Part Leaving function")
				player:WaitForChild("Rain").Playing = true
				player:WaitForChild("RainMuffled").Playing = false
				for i,z in pairs(workspace.RainEffects:GetDescendants()) do
					if z:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
						z.Enabled = true
					end
				end
			end
		end
		wait()
		DebounceVariable = false
	end
end

local function TouchContactCheck(v)
	if DebounceVariable2 == false then
		DebounceVariable2 = true
		print("Part Touching function")
		for i,d in pairs (v:GetTouchingParts()) do
			if d.Parent.Name == player.Name then
				ReverbType.AmbientReverb = Enum.ReverbType.Room
				if (player:WaitForChild("Rain").Playing == true or player:WaitForChild("RainMuffled").Playing == true) then
				player:WaitForChild("Rain").Playing = false
				player:WaitForChild("RainMuffled").Playing = true
				for i,z in pairs(workspace.RainEffects:GetDescendants()) do
					if z:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
						z.Enabled = false
					end
	end
	end
			end
		end
		wait(.1)
		DebounceVariable2 = false
	end
end

for i,v in pairs(workspace.IndoorRegions:GetChildren()) do
	v.Touched:Connect(function()
		wait()
		wait()
	TouchContactCheck(v)
	end)
	v.TouchEnded:Connect(function()
		wait()
		TouchEndedCheck(v)
	end)
end

This line is most likely running before the instances are actually replicated. You’ll need need to verify that they have all replicated before doing something like this. Perhaps with DataModel.Loaded.
