part.Touched is not detecting when a specific tool touches it

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    This script is located under a part. When the tool named “Chocolate Cookie Batter” touches the part, I want it to execute a function.

  2. What is the issue?
    It isn’t detecting when the tool touches the part.

local part = script.Parent
local detectorOne = part.Detector1
local detectorTwo = part.Detector2
local detectorThree = part.Detector3

local function cook(partThatTouched, newPartName, player)
	partThatTouched:Destroy()
	print("Cooking your food...")
	wait(5)
	print("Done!")
	
	local newPart = game.ReplicatedStorage.FoodItems.CookedTools[newPartName]:Clone()
	newPart.Parent = player.Backpack
end

detectorOne.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	-- Here is where it doesn't work (can't detect the tool)
	if hit.Parent.Name == "Chocolate Cookie Batter" then
		print("It is a valid part")
		cook(hit.Parent, "Chocolate Cookie", game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent.Parent))
	end
end)

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have tried searching in the DevForum and on Google but I couldn’t find anything.

Do both parts have CanTouch on?

#3

Yes, both the handle and the detector have the CanTouch on.

#4

Is the tool touching the correct part? you only have one .Touched event.
Try printing something when something touches it so you know atleast the .Touched event is working.

#5

You’re checking the parent name of hit, (i think) you should’ve done:

hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Chocolate Cookie Batter")

to get the tool

I tried it. It works with other parts. Here is a pic.

The Handle of the part should be the one that fires it. Not the tool itself.

#10

Does it print when the handle touches it?

#11

No, the handle isn’t printing.

#12

Can you send me the .rbxl of your testing place?

#13

Sure. Here is it.

It is a client sided tool, try to make it serversided so server scripts can detect it.

(You used a localscript to parent the tool to your backpack)
