So im currently trying to understand the fundimentals of lua through the Roblox documations and i need help understanding how this “otherpart” parameter works.

local speedBoost = script.Parent

local function onTouch (otherpart)
local character = otherpart.Parent
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA(“Humanoid”)

if humanoid and humanoid.WalkSpeed <= 50 then
	humanoid.WalkSpeed += 10
	speedBoost.CanTouch = false
	task.wait(1)
	speedBoost.CanTouch = true
	
end

end

speedBoost.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

The otherpart is the part touching the speedBoost

Otherpart is basically the part that came in contact with your “speedboost” part. As you can see, to confirm it was a player, you are looking for a humanoid which only a player possesses. However, you look through the otherpart’s parent as it’s not the character that directly touches the speedboost part, it’s a child of it (Head, rightleg etc). That’s what other part is, it’s a child of the character of the player
