Touch Event not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello Developers
So i’m having troubles with this touch event. as you can see in the video, i am touching the part with a saber, but when it touched, it does nothing. I assume it’s on the properties but i already tried that but i failed. I tried searching but it doesn’t really help any because it’s about the health event/ coin event/ etc. so as you can see in the script, it should unanchor the parent and play a sound. but it didn’t play any or did unanchor the object.

Script:

script.Parent.Hit.Touched:Connect(function(saber)
		script.Parent.Slash:Play()
		script.Parent.Anchored = false
end)

Part 1 Properties: (Enemy Part)

Have you confirmed whether or not it’s firing using print statements?

yes i tried that, that’s actually the first version of that script

script.Parent.Hit.Touched:Connect(function(saber)
	print('blue')
	if saber.Name == 'SaberBlue' then
		script.Parent.Slash:Play()
		script.Parent.Anchored = false
	end
end)

Does this script works then? Did the print statement gets fired?

If the script isn’t parented to the block you should use you should use a for loop:

for _, v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
	
	v.Touched:Connect( function(touch)
		
		-- stuff
	end)
end

I think it’s not working because you’re only connecting the touch function to only one block, so only this one will work.

I need to leave so i can’t answer anymore, sorry.

You should show people your explorer, and the code probably didn’t worked because other things may be parented to script’s parent, so you need to check if v == a hit block.

this is the explorer. The part named “Slice” was formerly named “hit” btw

Hello everyone!
i fixed it now, i instead used WorldRoot:ArePartsTouchingOthers.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(saber)
	print('started')
end)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(saber)
	print('ended')
end)
while wait(0.1) do
	if game.Workspace:ArePartsTouchingOthers({game.Workspace.SaberBlue,script.Parent},0) then
		script.Parent.Parent.Anchored = false
		script.Parent.audio:Play()
	end
end

and you may ask, why did i still placed the Touched/TouchEnded even though the solution was game.Workspace:ArePartsTouchingOthers. Well i tried removing it but it completely make it not working so i leave it there.Thank you too! to people who helped me, i really appreciate it!

Just so you’re aware, touch events might not be reliable enough for this project, especially on harder/faster modes requiring fast movement.

If you get stuck, I suggest using Raycasts or even something like Raycast Hitbox as touch events can sometimes miss activation.
