Streaming Enabled - Issue with Touched events

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I am in the process of enabling streaming enabled on one of my games, but as you may already be aware some aspects of code must be adapted to accommodate this change.

I have a local script with a Touched event to a Part that does not get streamed in when a player joins the game. Since the Part is not ‘available’, the event will error, but I need the Touched event later on in the game when the player enters a zone that will be streamed in. I am struggling to think of a way to work around this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Local Script (Run automatically when player enter game):

local Touch_P1 = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Part1")

Touch_Speedrun_C1.Touched:Connect(function(hit)  <-- Errors (nil)
--Code
end)

its cause touch_p1 doesnt exist and never will

I understand it doesn’t exist initially, but it will when the player reaches that part. To reach the part, the content around it will get streamed in.

i dont really know much about streaming enabled but if there is like a LoadIn(“Part”) do that. Other than that maybe busy wait on the client

local isClose = false
local event = nil
game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
  if workspace:FindFirstChild("Part1") and not isClose then
    isClose = true
    event = Touch_Speedrun_C1.Touched:Connect(function(hit)  <-- Errors (nil)
      --Code
    end)
  elseif event then
    pcall(function()
      event = nil
      isClose = false
    end)
  end 
end)
