Touched event not firing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have tried multiple ways to get around this issue but no luck.

local player = workspace.Player
local hitbox = script.Parent

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(P)
  print("Touch detected.")
     if P.Parent == workspace.EnemyProjectiles then
     print("Death.")
     local newPlayer = player:Clone()
     player:Destroy()
     script.Death:Play()
     wait(3)
     newPlayer.Parent = workspace
  end
end)

The prints do not run at all.
hitbox is a welded part, the projectiles are anchored parts that use cframe to move.
Any idea why this issue is happening?

Can we see a screenshot of the explorer.

#3

Sure.

Are you moving them locally or on the sever

#5

Im moving them via a localscript.

#6

That’s the problem. If you are moving them on the client the sever doesn’t know that their in their new position therefore a Server script won’t detect the hit

#7

Well… is there any ways to get around this using clientside?

Since im using renderstepped and a server movement system could result in jittery movement i would like to know if theres a way.

#8

You can probably use a RemoteFunction to get the client sided position of the part. However, that doesn’t sound very safe.

Like @FunAsiK said if you use:

When moving in the server so it’s not jittery

#9

Use SetNetworkOwner() on the projectiles.

#10

Would that work on anchored parts?

#11

No. SetNetworkOwner() does not work on anchored parts.

#13

Well… im using anchored parts, since im out of ideas im assuming that i have to create projectiles via a script.

Other than that i have a few questions: do RemoteEvents affect performance,
Is there a way to move a projectile via physics without it falling down?

#14

How would I do it.

  1. If projectile not a model, then make it as a model and set PrimaryPart to projectile.

  2. Create a fake part.

local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Name = "FakePart"
part.CanCollide = false
part.Anchored = true
part.Size = Vector3.one
part.Transparency = 1
part.CFrame = CFrame.new()
part.Parent = projectile_model
  1. Add Align Position and Align Orientation to make movement smooth.
local projectile_attachment = Instance.new("Attachment", projectile_model.PrimaryPart)
projectile_attachment.Name = "ProjectileAttachment"

local fake_part_attachment = Instance.new("Attachment", part)
fake_part_attachment.Name = "FakePartAttachment"


local align_pos = Instance.new("AlignPosition", projectile_model.PrimaryPart)
align_pos.Attachment0 = projectile_attachment
align_pos.Attachment1 = fake_part_attachment
align_pos.MaxForce = 1e11
align_pos.MaxVelocity = 100
align_pos.Responsiveness = 15


local align_orientation = Instance.new("AlignOrientation", projectile_model.PrimaryPart)
align_orientation.Attachment0 = projectile_attachment
align_orientation.Attachment1 = fake_part_attachment
align_orientation.MaxTorque = 1e11
align_orientation.MaxAngularVelocity = 100
align_orientation.Responsiveness = 15
  1. Update the CFrame of the FakePart in RunService.RenderStep or while true do.
while true do
    part.CFrame = -- your's CFrame.
    wait()
end
  1. And now you can use SetNetworkOwner().
workspace:WaitForChild("ProjectileModel").PrimaryPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
