OnTouched Event not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve? I made a Quest system and I made it so if you touch a certain part the Quest gets finished but nothing happens.

  2. What is the issue? Everytime I try to touch the final Part, nothing runs. It is on a local script.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I’ve tried making it a normal script but it would execute on the whole server. I also tried to change the “Part = script.Parent” to “local Part = script.Parent”

Here is my script.

Part = script.Parent
Quest1 = game.StarterGui.Quest1

Part.Touched:Connect(function()
	print("working")
	Part.BillboardGui.arrow_downward.Visible = false
	Part.BillboardGui.done.Visible = true
	Quest1.Frame:remove()
	Quest1.QuestFinished.Visible = true
end)

LocalScripts don’t run in Workspace unless parented to your Character

Also, changing stuff in StarterGui won’t affect what the player sees, because what they see is stored in game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui, which is where stuff in StarterGui gets copied to

You could try using a server script. Just add a part in the script that checks exactly which player has touched the part and then set the game up accordingly. I’m kinda guessing here since I do not really do super advanced scripting.

First of all replace the local script with a regular script then write in it:

local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent.humanoid then
    local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit)
    local Quest1 = plr.PlayerGui.Quest1
	print("working")
	Part.BillboardGui.arrow_downward.Visible = false
	Part.BillboardGui.done.Visible = true
	Quest1.Frame:Destroy()
	Quest1.QuestFinished.Visible = true
end
end)

Maybe this works?
If it doesn’t tell me what errors show up in output.

Make sure the Humanoid has a capital h.

#9

well, now it says: Workspace.Quest1_Part.Script:6: attempt to index nil with ‘PlayerGui’

#10

do
local Part = script.Parent

Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit)
local Quest1 = plr.PlayerGui.Quest1
print(“working”)
Part.BillboardGui.arrow_downward.Visible = false
Part.BillboardGui.done.Visible = true
Quest1.Frame:Destroy()
Quest1.QuestFinished.Visible = true
end
end)
