Part.Touched event fired with specific limbs

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

hello, I would like to create a script that fires a .Touched event with specific limbs and doesn’t fire with anything else.
Heres my script:

local Part = workspace.Part
	
	local function onPartTouched(Part)
		if Part.Name == Character.HumanoidRootPart then
			print("Doof")
		end
	end
	
  Part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)

Also, Part.Name is a product of what limb is touched.

Heads up, the BasePart.Touched event returns the specific part that triggered the event.

You haven’t defined Character, and you’re trying to compare an instance to a string. Two different issues.

There are two ways you can tackle this problem. The first way being the traditional and most common;

local Part = workspace.Part
	
	local function onPartTouched(Part)
		if Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then 
--checks if there is a humanoidrootpart within the part's-parent's model (character.)
			print("Doof")
		end
	end
	
  Part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)

The second way to solve this issue would be to revise your current method;

local Part = workspace.Part
	
	local function onPartTouched(Part)
		if Part.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then 
--checks if a humanoidrootpart hit the part
			print("Doof")
		end
	end
	
  Part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)
