OnTouched script not responding to any touches

I’m making a gun for a group, it’s almost done except for the bullet that if hit, a player has to fade away with neon and stuff.
The effects I made onTouched were perfect, but the onTouched event doesn’t work for some reason.
In my script that I put inside of the bullet is this:
repeat wait() until script.Parent.Name ~= “BulletChilds”`

local IsTouched = false

local Bullet = script.Parent

print(Bullet.Name)

Bullet.Touched:Connect(function(Obj)
	print("Touch")
	if ((IsTouched == false)) and (Obj.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")) then
		IsTouched = true
		if Obj.Parent:FindFirstChild("Nova Rifle") then
			if Obj.Parent["Nova Rifle"].Owner.Value == script.Parent.Owner.Value then
				IsTouched = false
				return
			end
		end
		script.Parent.Hit:Play()
		if Obj.Parent:FindFirstChild("ForceField") then
			Obj.Parent.ForceField:Destroy()
		end
		for i,v in pairs(Obj.Parent.Head:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("BillboardGui") then
				v:Destroy()
			end
		end
		Obj.Parent.Shirt:Destroy()
		Obj.Parent.Pants:Destroy()
		local HRP = Obj.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
		HRP.Anchored = true
		Obj.Parent.Animate:Destroy()
		for i=1,75 do
			for _,CharacterObject in pairs(Obj.Parent:GetChildren()) do
				if CharacterObject:IsA("Part") or CharacterObject:IsA("MeshPart") then
					CharacterObject.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
					CharacterObject.Color = script.Parent.Color
					CharacterObject.Transparency = CharacterObject.Transparency + .025
				elseif CharacterObject:IsA("Accessory") then
					CharacterObject.Handle.Transparency = CharacterObject.Handle.Transparency + .025
					CharacterObject.Handle.Mesh.TextureId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=4895102398"
				end
			end 
			Obj.Parent.Head.face.Transparency = Obj.Parent.Head.face.Transparency + .025
			game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Wait()
		end
		wait(2)
		if game.Players:FindFirstChild(Obj.Parent.Name) then
			game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Obj.Parent):LoadCharacter()
		else
			Obj.Parent:Destroy()
		end
		wait(.5)
		script.Parent:Destroy()
	end
end)

Most of the stuff in there isn’t relevant but I put it in there anyways.
Also, I instance.new() each bullet and the clone in this script with some other sound effects and values.

local CosmeticBullet = Instance.new("Part")

CosmeticBullet.Material = Enum.Material.Neon

CosmeticBullet.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 196, 255)

CosmeticBullet.CanCollide = false

CosmeticBullet.Anchored = true

CosmeticBullet.Size = Vector3.new(0.4, 0.4, 8)

CosmeticBullet.Name = "NovaRifle_Bullet"


for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.BulletChilds:GetChildren()) do

v:Clone().Parent = CosmeticBullet

end

And yes, the “CosmeticBullet” is parented later on in the script, each time I fire the gun it just prints the bullets name so the script is loaded

Does anyone know how I could fix this?

Where is the code by which you clone and parent the script?

It’s the lower one…

local CosmeticBullet = Instance.new("Part")

CosmeticBullet.Material = Enum.Material.Neon

CosmeticBullet.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 196, 255)

CosmeticBullet.CanCollide = false

CosmeticBullet.Anchored = true

CosmeticBullet.Size = Vector3.new(0.4, 0.4, 8)

CosmeticBullet.Name = "NovaRifle_Bullet"


for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.BulletChilds:GetChildren()) do

v:Clone().Parent = CosmeticBullet

end

Try parenting the script(s) after you’ve parented the bullet to workspace.

Also, add a small wait to the start of the Touched script.

I feel like the problem here is that you’re destroying the script too quickly. Maybe try deleting it later?

If You use script to move your parts. Try to used BodyVelocity instead of script

Well, I did not put effort in reading your script here, but f your bullet is moving on the firing of the gun, I guess the problem is the bullet is too quick for the onTouched event to run. If you’re making guns, RayCasting is always the preferred and the best idea.
