Problem with script detecting when player touches a part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to create a script to detect when a player touches a part, then changes another parts properties such as Cancollide.

My script isnt working for some reason and, I’m trying to find somebody who understands why, I’ve tried to make a new script with no success.

Here is the script

local p = game.Workspace.Part

local door = game.Workspace.Part2

local function touch(Part)
	local partParent = game
	local humanoid = partParent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		door.CanCollide = false
	end
end

Your script also isn’t working cause you’re defining the partParent as game and not the parameter the Touched event gives you, why though?

Try this:

local p = game.Workspace.Part

local door = game.Workspace.Part2

local function touch(Part)
	if Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		door.CanCollide = false
	end
end

p.Touched:Connect(touch)

local p = game.Workspace.Part

local door = game.Workspace.Part2

local function touch(Part)
if Part.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
door.CanCollide = false
end
end

print(p.Touched)

Your script won’t work cause you’re not connecting the Touched event with the function, plus I don’t think printing the event will even work

That should only be if you need to debug the script if necessary

oh ok. I am just trying to help and not the best scripter ever

#7

I don’t know why but nothing at all happens when I touch the part, not any error messages or anything.

#8

Does it matter if its a localscript or script? Maybe its in the wrong location? its currently located at ServerScriptService.

#10

It has to be a normal script for it to work.

#11

Nothing changed by doing that, I changed it from a localscript to a normal script.

#12

I dont think there is a problem with the script…

#13

Well do the parts exist at all?

#14

Yes they do, they are in workspace and are normal parts, one is yellow, one is black.

#15

Okay debugging script then

print("Script online")
local p = game.Workspace.Part
local door = game.Workspace.Part2

local function touch(Part)
    print("Part touched")
	if Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        print("Door colission changed")
		door.CanCollide = false
	end
end

p.Touched:Connect(touch)

So the script works ingame but not in studio??

#17

Why not in Studio though? Can you check your Output? :thinking: It should be a ServerScript, either in ServerScriptService or workspace

#18

Ok so when I playtest in studio it works but not when the part is touched.

#20

Nevermind, Its working fully now!
