Replacement for anchoring

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi!
I’m basically wanting a part to not move but also detect touches against anchored parts.
Is there a replacement? Is there scripting needing to be involved?

Any help appreciated!

dont anchored parts detect touches ?

They do but 2 of them detects touches.
Anyways I found a fix by ChatGPT.

game.Workspace.Part:SetNetworkOwner(nil) -- change to your actual part

By doing this it will not move but it’s collision, touching and transparency is still working.

Tweening also works by the way. This only affects Roblox gravity and force physics!

How would I implement this into a script?
Do the parts start as anchored, set their network owner to nil, and them re-anchor them? That’s exactly what I did but the parts never seem to collide.

I’m having issues with it too now.

The collisions seem to work when the part is unanchored… but by then these parts are already touching the floor because of the gravity so the game starts with these parts touching- what? There’s this video showing it happening (had to keep it short so it’s not over 10 MB)


and ChatGPT is giving me the dumbest responses, you must’ve worked a miracle to get that.

I removed the solution as it did nothing.

Do you need gravity in your game? If not, you can just set it to 0 since it’s what I did. But I have another problem to deal with: Sonic falling in the goddamn floor.

Sorry for the late response. Managed to find a fix. Create a Server- and LocalScript. They basically make the part not move on the Y axis but movable on the X and Z axis. It’s important to have a script on server-side and client-side, else it will create problems for the other (client or server). You can go ahead and remove the NetworkOwner code, I don’t think it’s necessary.

ServerScript:

local tornadoStarter = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("TornadoStarter")

local Tsunami = game.Workspace.Tsunami

local tUpdate = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("TornadoStarter")

local tornadoH = game.Workspace.TornadoStarter.Hitbox
local tornadoPar = game.Workspace.TornadoStarter.Particle

local FireTornado = game.Workspace.FireTornado

local tornadoY = game.Workspace.TornadoStarter.Hitbox.Position.Y
local tornadoY2 = game.Workspace.TornadoStarter.Particle.Position.Y

local FireTorY = game.Workspace.FireTornado.Position.Y

local tsuY = game.Workspace.Tsunami.Position.Y

local spouts = game.Workspace.Waterspouts:GetChildren()
 
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	
	local torX = game.Workspace.TornadoStarter.Hitbox.Position.X
	local torZ = game.Workspace.TornadoStarter.Hitbox.Position.Z
	
	local tsuX = game.Workspace.Tsunami.Position.X
	local tsuZ = game.Workspace.Tsunami.Position.Z
	
	local fireTorX = game.Workspace.FireTornado.Position.X
	local fireTorZ = game.Workspace.FireTornado.Position.Z
	
	tornadoH.Position = Vector3.new(torX,tornadoY,torZ)
	tornadoPar.Position = tornadoH.Position
	if tornadoH.Anchored == false then
		tornadoH:SetNetworkOwner(nil) 
	end
	if tornadoPar.Anchored == false then
		tornadoPar:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
	end
	Tsunami.Position = Vector3.new(tsuX,tsuY,tsuZ)
	if Tsunami.Anchored == false then
		Tsunami:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
	end
	for _,v in pairs(game.Workspace.ClonedWaterspouts:GetChildren()) do
		if v and v:IsA("Part") then
			local SpoutX = v.Position.X
			local SpoutZ = v.Position.Z
			
			if v.Anchored == false then
				v:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
			end
			
			v.Position = Vector3.new(SpoutX,113.557,SpoutZ)
		end
		
	end
	FireTornado.Position = Vector3.new(fireTorX,FireTorY,fireTorZ)
end)

LocalScript:

--wait(2)

local tornadoStarter = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("TornadoStarter")

local spoutsFold = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("ClonedWaterspouts")

local Tsunami = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Tsunami")

local tornadoH = tornadoStarter:WaitForChild("Hitbox")
local tornadoPar = tornadoStarter:WaitForChild("Particle")

local FireTornado = game.Workspace.FireTornado
local FireTorY = game.Workspace.FireTornado.Position.Y

local tornadoY = game.Workspace.TornadoStarter.Hitbox.Position.Y
local tornadoY2 = game.Workspace.TornadoStarter.Particle.Position.Y

local tsuY = game.Workspace.Tsunami.Position.Y

local spouts = spoutsFold:GetChildren()

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()

	local torX = game.Workspace.TornadoStarter.Hitbox.Position.X
	local torZ = game.Workspace.TornadoStarter.Hitbox.Position.Z

	local tsuX = game.Workspace.Tsunami.Position.X
	local tsuZ = game.Workspace.Tsunami.Position.Z
	
	local fireTorX = game.Workspace.FireTornado.Position.X
	local fireTorZ = game.Workspace.FireTornado.Position.Z

	tornadoH.Position = Vector3.new(torX,tornadoY,torZ)
	tornadoPar.Position = tornadoH.Position

	Tsunami.Position = Vector3.new(tsuX,tsuY,tsuZ)

	for _,v in pairs(game.Workspace.ClonedWaterspouts:GetChildren()) do
		if v and v:IsA("Part") then
			local SpoutX = v.Position.X
			local SpoutZ = v.Position.Z


			v.Position = Vector3.new(SpoutX,113.557,SpoutZ)
		end
	end
	FireTornado.Position = Vector3.new(fireTorX,FireTorY,fireTorZ)
end)

Turns out that it works fine, but for some reason destroys the part, even though it’s position is set.
