What I want is that when a brick hits the chainstart block, it goes through the chainstart function and checks if its name is “Train_1”, but it doesn’t work. Can someone help me?

local chainstart = script.Parent.ChainStartSensor

local chainend = script.Parent.ChainEndSensor

local train1 = workspace.Train_1:GetDescendants()

local train = workspace:FindFirstChild(“Train_1”)

local chainValue = workspace.Values.ChainValue.Value

local debounce = false

local train_1 = game.Workspace.Train_1

function chainon(hit)
if hit.Parent.Name == “Train_1” then
        if not  debounce then 

           debounce = true
        print(“Train has reached start of lifthill and chainValue is now 1”)
            chainValue = 1
           wait(30)
           debounce = false
           end

print(“Train has reached end of lifthill and chainValue is now 0”)

         chainValue = 0

Keeps printing nothing, what I am looking for is the model with the name “Train_1” to be detected if hit.

#4

If Train_1 is a Model pehaps some of the parts have different parents inside that model, causing the hit.Parent.Name == "Train_1" condition to be false for some of them, instead use FindFirstAncestor(name) which returns the ancestor if an object is a descendant of name(else returns nil):

local ancestor = hit:FindFirstAncestor("Train_1")
if ancestor then 
	--code
else 
	print("nothing")
end
