Touch Interest Not Appearing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Note: I am not 100% sure if this is in the right category so please tell me if it is not.

Hello All,
So I am making a game with a ball that you through and If someone touches it they have the ball (kinda like hot potato). The ball is shooting out fine, but the touch interest is not appearing. I feel like I am doing something dumb. I even tried cloning a ball with working touch interest from workspace, but the touch interest just disappeared.

This is the script:


local DebrisService = game:GetService("Debris")
local PlayersService = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = PlayersService.LocalPlayer 

local Tool = script.Parent
local ToolHandle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

local Gravity = 90
local ThrowSpeed = 90
local ReloadTime = 1.75
local Lifetime = 50

local ThrowedRock = game.Workspace.DemoBall



local bodyForce = Instance.new('BodyForce',ThrowedRock)
bodyForce.Name = 'ThrowForce'
bodyForce.force = Vector3.new(0, ThrowedRock:GetMass() * Gravity, 0)

function OnActivated()
local Character = Player.Character
if Tool.Enabled and Character and Character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
Tool.Enabled = false

local ThrowedRockClone = ThrowedRock:Clone()
--DebrisService:AddItem(ThrowedRockClone,Lifetime)
	
local Rock_Spawn_Position = (ToolHandle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 2.25)).p
ThrowedRockClone.CFrame = CFrame.new(Rock_Spawn_Position, Character.Humanoid.TargetPoint)
ThrowedRockClone.Velocity = ThrowedRockClone.CFrame.lookVector * ThrowSpeed
ThrowedRockClone.Parent = game.Workspace

wait(ReloadTime)
Tool.Enabled = true
 end
end




Tool.Activated:connect(OnActivated)

Any help will be appreciated.

You didn’t assign a Touch event to the ball yet:

Thing.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    -- code
end)

Yeh, sorry, I already had that in the ball that I cloned. I tested it out and it works but it is when you clone it that it just dissapears

#4

You have to do it again for the new object cloned.

#5

ok, do you mean like inserting another script into the part or …?

#6

If that script contains the touched event, then yes, you do.

#7

BasePart.CanTouch = true

This should be enabled by default but might be disabled on the part you’re cloning.

#8

TouchTransmitter instances are automatically created providing the BasePart instance can be touched and some script has a Touched event listener for the aforementioned BasePart (you don’t need to clone a BasePart instance with one inside).

local DebrisService = game:GetService("Debris")
local PlayersService = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = PlayersService.LocalPlayer 
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Tool = script.Parent
local ToolHandle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

local Gravity = 90
local ThrowSpeed = 90
local ReloadTime = 1.75
local Lifetime = 50

local ThrowedRock = workspace:WaitForChild("DemoBall")

local BodyForce = Instance.new("BodyForce")
BodyForce.Parent = ThrowedRock
BodyForce.Name = "ThrowForce"
BodyForce.force = Vector3.new(0, ThrowedRock:GetMass() * Gravity, 0)

function OnActivated()
	if Tool.Enabled and Character and Character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
		Tool.Enabled = false

		local ThrowedRockClone = ThrowedRock:Clone()
		--DebrisService:AddItem(ThrowedRockClone,Lifetime)

		local Rock_Spawn_Position = (ToolHandle.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 2.25)).p
		ThrowedRockClone.CFrame = CFrame.new(Rock_Spawn_Position, Humanoid.TargetPoint)
		ThrowedRockClone.Velocity = ThrowedRockClone.CFrame.lookVector * ThrowSpeed
		ThrowedRockClone.Parent = game.Workspace

		task.wait(ReloadTime)
		Tool.Enabled = true
	end
end

Tool.Activated:connect(OnActivated)

I have already tried that, the ball that is in workspace when I test it has touch interest as a child, but when it is cloned it loses that touch interest. I am very confused right now

#10

It is all good, I managed to use a replica ball that I welded to the ball in the script, which isn’t cloned meaning it keeps its touch interest. Not the most efficient way, but it works :grinning:. Thanks for all the help anyways.
