Okay so I’m trying to make it so there’s a PointPart and a bottle that’s connected to it, after the bottle is done spinning the pointpart is pointing at a part like touching a specific part, what I want to do is wherever the PointPart is touching, it prints that part’s name in the output. I already tried asking ChatGPT because my version was working but I don’t know how to.

ocal ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Events = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events")
local BottleSpin = Events:WaitForChild("BottleSpin")
local Bottle = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Bottle")
local PointPart = Bottle:WaitForChild("Point")
local TeamAssignmentFolder = workspace:WaitForChild("Stage"):WaitForChild("TeamAssignmentFolder")
local TeamParts = TeamAssignmentFolder:GetChildren()
local function getClosestPart()
local closestPart = nil
local shortestDistance = math.huge
for _, part in pairs(TeamParts) do
if part:IsA("BasePart") then
local distance = (PointPart.Position - part.Position).magnitude
if distance < shortestDistance then
closestPart = part
shortestDistance = distance
end
end
end
return closestPart
end
BottleSpin.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
local Info = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local TweenProperty = {Orientation = Vector3.new(0, math.random(0, 360), 0)}
local Tween = TweenService:Create(Bottle, Info, TweenProperty)
Tween:Play()
Tween.Completed:Wait()
local closestPart = getClosestPart()
if closestPart then
print("Bottle landed on: " .. closestPart.Name)
else
print("Bottle did not land on any known part.")
end
end)
This will always be equal to true since shortestDistance is set to infinity here:
Try setting shortestDistance to a value such as 1, it might not work on the first try so you’ll need to test and adjust the value until you get the desired result, and I recommend making small adjustments, such as trying 0.5 or 1.5 rather than large values, since in the image the distance between the pointer part and the target doesn’t seem to be that large
Smaller than 0.5 might also work (although if it’s too small you might start to experience issues with the part not being detected), but do be sure that it’s greater than 0
There’s an alternative way you can check to see if the part’s touching something which can give you more accurate and consistent results, by using GetPartsInPart, I’ll try modifying your script to make it work using it
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local Events = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events")
local BottleSpin = Events:WaitForChild("BottleSpin")
local Bottle = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Bottle")
local PointPart = Bottle:WaitForChild("Point")
local Teams = { -- If you change the name of a Team or add a new one, you'll need to update this table accordingly
["Blue Sapphires"] = true,
["Green Emeralds"] = true,
["Red Crimsons"] = true,
["Yellow Goldens"] = true}
local Info = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.Out) -- This way we're recycling the same TweenInfo
local function getTeamName()
local ClosestParts = Workspace:GetPartsInPart(PointPart)
for _, Part in ClosestParts do
if Teams[Part.Name] then return Part.Name end
end
end
local function onServerEvent()
local TweenProperty = {Orientation = Vector3.new(0, math.random(0, 360), 0)}
local Tween = TweenService:Create(Bottle, Info, TweenProperty)
Tween:Play()
Tween.Completed:Wait()
local TeamName = getTeamName()
if TeamName then
print("Bottle landed on: " .. TeamName)
else
print("Bottle did not land on any known team or part.")
end
end
BottleSpin.OnServerEvent:Connect(onServerEvent)
@theonlyplasa I did make a mistake in the code (forgot that GetPartsInPart returns an array… ), so I’ve edited it to fix that, but I’m unsure as to what is causing the infinite yield to occur
That’s odd because the line is the same in the script you provided:
Did you replace the code of the original script, or are you testing my code in a new script? The test script’s parent might be different than the parent of the original script
@theonlyplasa I changed the way the script works, instead of using OverlapParams, it will now iterate over the array returned by GetPartsInPart and see if the part’s name is a valid team name, and if so, returns the name
if you want to do some when the bottle get touched just make sure to enable “CanTouch” property and then use .Touched event to trigger when the bottle get touched.
