Touched event doesn't fire on the 2nd child

#1

I recently attempted to script collectable objects locally and make their changes reset when the player dies.
I did this by using a local script in a ScreenGui with ResetOnSpawn enabled, and got the orbs (which have the same name) using In Pairs loop.

local Orbs
for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do --this loop gets the orbs from the workspace and specifies it as Orbs
	if v.Name == "Orb" then
		Orbs = v
	end
end
Orbs.Material = Enum.Material.ForceField
local NavyBlueValue = script["Navy Blue"].Value
local NavyBlueCollected = script["Navy Blue"].Collected
if workspace.OrbPlatform.Transparency ~= 1 then
	local Info = TweenInfo.new(1)
	local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(workspace.OrbPlatform,Info,{Transparency=1})
	Tween:Play()
	Tween.Completed:Connect(function()
		workspace.OrbPlatform.CanCollide = true
		workspace.OrbPlatform.CanTouch = true
	end)
end
print(1)
Orbs.Collected.Value = false
NavyBlueCollected.Value = 0
Orbs.Touched:Connect(function(hit) --This is where it stopped after trying to collect the second orb
	print(2)
	print(Orbs)
	local Debounce = true
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	local Humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if Player ~= nil and Humanoid ~= nil and Player == game.Players.LocalPlayer then
		print(3)
		if Humanoid.Health ~= 0 then
			print(4)
			if Player.TeamColor ~= BrickColor.new("Navy blue") then return end
			if Orbs.Collected.Value == false then
				print(5)
				NavyBlueCollected.Changed:Connect(function()
					print(6)
					if NavyBlueCollected.Value == NavyBlueValue then
						print(7)
						if workspace.OrbPlatform.Transparency ~= 0 then
							local Info = TweenInfo.new(1)
							local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(workspace.OrbPlatform,Info,{Transparency=0})
							Tween:Play()
							Tween.Completed:Connect(function()
								workspace.OrbPlatform.CanCollide = true
								workspace.OrbPlatform.CanTouch = true
							end)
						end
					else
						print(0)
					end
				end)
				NavyBlueCollected.Value = NavyBlueCollected.Value + 1
				Orbs.Collected.Value = true
				Orbs.Material = Enum.Material.ForceField
			end
		end
	end
end)

Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: I found out it only detects one orb and I don’t know what’s wrong there, because when I collect it first it still doesn’t work. Also ignore debounce for now.

Why you assign Orbs value to one object? I think you should make a list to store them.

#3

You are assigning only 1 orb to the orbs variable, you should make it a table or better off just put the rest of the code inside the loop.

I really don’t know any other way to detect the orbs.
In pairs loops was the only way I was able to detect them all on a server script.

#5

When you add orb to list you should do something like this:
Orbs = table.insert(Orbs, v)

then after adding orbs to list then you should connect event like this:
for i, v in pairs(Orbs) do
v.Touched:connect([the function])
end

Where do I put this? If I put this after local Orbs I get an error because this is an instance.

#8

first you need to add Obrs to list.
Did you do this?
When you do empty list then it should look like this:
local Orbs = {}
Then you should do what i said earlier how to add these orbs to list.
