Another day another stupid scripting issue that shouldn’t be an issue in the first place
As the title says, the touch in this script is simply not registering
print("Start")
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print("touched")
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
print("killed")
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
end
if hit:IsA("BasePart") then
if hit.Parent.Name == "Shelter" or hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Type") then
print("Sheltered")
return
else
print("else")
local random = math.random(1,3)
if random == 2 then
print("destruction")
local math = script.Parent.Position - Vector3.new(-15,0,0)
hit.Position = hit.Position - math
hit.Anchored = false
task.wait(2)
hit:Destroy()
print("Bye Bye!")
end
end
end
end)
print("Finish")
When this blue part moves towards these parts, the touch function just does not register
However, when I drop the part from above I guess it registers?
Could it be the movement that’s the problem and if so how would I fix it

(I don’t have a recording software on this computer so I had to use Roblox Studio’s recording)
For some reason the output didn’t record but when I checked the output it didn’t print “touched”
Touched only fires on contact during physical movement. It appears you are changing CFrames (manually or with a TweenService), so it doesn’t fire, the parts simply overlap. Meaning, the detecting part must be unanchored and simulated.
I’d use GetPartBoundsInBox() if I were you, especially if you are working on something like a wave or tsunami going towards players.
Your code could look somewhat like this:
tween:Play()
while tween.PlaybackState == Enum.PlaybackState.Playing do
local parts = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(...)
task.wait()
end
