Moving Part clipping through baseplate

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Recently I’ve been trying to make a part that will spawn in the sky and slowly come down. It was supposed to stop moving and unanchor itself once it reached the ground. However instead the part would continue and clip through the ground. I’ve been trying for hours trying to find a solution and have yet to find one. Any help is dearly appreciated! thank you!

Script:

local mod = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.EffectMod)

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

local part = script.Parent
local Flying = false
local CreatingSphere = false

local ForwardMovement = part.CFrame.LookVector * 0.5
local DownwardMovement = Vector3.new(0,-1,0)
local MovementSpeed = .1

local function CreateSphere()
	--unrelated
end

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if Flying == false then
			local Char = hit.Parent

		--also unrelated
		end
	elseif hit:IsA("Part") or hit:IsA("Model") then
		if Flying == true then
			Flying = false
			part.Anchored = false

			CreateSphere()

			print("Part touched")
		end
	end
end)

part:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Parent"):Connect(function()
	if part.Parent:IsA("Folder") and (part.Parent.Name == "Aether" or part.Parent.Name == "Folder") then


		part.Anchored = true

		if Flying == false then
			Flying = true
			CreateSphere()


			while Flying do
				local NewCFrame = part.CFrame + ForwardMovement + DownwardMovement
				part.CFrame = part.CFrame:Lerp(NewCFrame, MovementSpeed)

				task.wait()
			end
		end
	end
end)

does the part have canCollide on?

3

yes, both the baseplate and moving part have cancollide on. They’re both anchored as well

4

Touched events can not fire on anchored parts

5

That’s not true. Touched events do fire for unanchored and anchored parts

Couldn’t you just use raycasts?? They don’t create any lag and are very performant so also don’t take up a lot of memory

Hm I never really thought of that as an alternative. I don’t know much about ray casting so I’ll look up some tutorials on how it works and I’ll come back if it works

after some tweaking and editing the script abit, i’ve come up with this. It doesn’t work much and is very inconsistent. It will occasionally work but will just instantly teleport to the position and sometimes even teleport under the baseplate for some reason.

Here’s the code now

local mod = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Modules.EffectMod)

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

local part = script.Parent
local Flying = false
local CreatingSphere = false
local Landed = false

local ForwardMovement = part.CFrame.LookVector * 0.5
local DownwardMovement = Vector3.new(0,-1,0)
local MovementSpeed = .1


local function CreateSphere()
     --unrelated
end

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if Flying == false then
			--unrelated
		end
	elseif hit:IsA("Part") or hit:IsA("Model") then
		if Flying == true then
			Flying = false
			part.Anchored = false

			CreateSphere()

			print("Part touched")
		end
	end
end)

part:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Parent"):Connect(function()
	if part.Parent:IsA("Folder") and (part.Parent.Name == "Aether" or part.Parent.Name == "Folder") then
		
		CreateSphere()
		
		local rayOrigin = part.Position
		local rayDirection = part.CFrame.LookVector + Vector3.new(0,-100,0) 
		
		local params = RaycastParams.new()
		params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {script.Parent}
		params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
		params.IgnoreWater = true
		
		
		local Result = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, rayDirection)
		
		if Result then
			print("Position: "..tostring(Result.Position)..", Acceleration: "..tonumber(Result.Distance*MovementSpeed))
		end
		
		part.Anchored = true
		
		part.Position = part.Position:Lerp(Result.Position, Result.Distance * MovementSpeed)
		
		task.wait(MovementSpeed)

		part.Anchored = false
		Flying = false
	end
end)

Couldn’t you just do

local rayOrigin = part.Position
		local rayDirection = (part.Position - part.Position.Size.Y/2) - Vector3.new(0,1,0)
		
		local params = RaycastParams.new()
		params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {script.Parent}
		params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
		params.IgnoreWater = true
		
		
		local Result = workspace:Raycast(rayOrigin, rayDirection)

        if Result then
        --stop the flying
        end

Hold on a second, I think I know the issue!

Here’s some things you could do to fix this issue;

-Make a part that when that part touches the other part, it activates that certain script (May need edits)

-Try asking a programmer for a solution

If your reply is not going to be nice, don’t reply at all!

Do you mean like a hitbox? If so that could work but would be heavily unoptimized.

So genuine question. How would I be able to grab the position then slowly ease the part to that position.
