Touched fuction not registering?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So i have a button script in a part, and its just a basic Touched function-
and i coded it so it only registers a part names “Shell” but its only registering the
players parts and not the shell…

button script :

The shell has a body position, and a body gyro in it. But it is not anchored so why is it not registering???

Its also in replicated storage so i can clone() it into the workspace.

EDIT SOLVED : I’m pretty sure its because I’m moving the shell to the workspace through a local script.

It could possibly be because it’s a mesh? Maybe transform it into a mesh part. This solution might not be as ideal since it’s night and I’m a little tired

So is shell on the player or a thing in the workspace?

Thing in the workspace.

(got to hit the word quota)

Have you tried it without the print?

6

yes, the same result

(thirty letters.)

I tested it on my game with something similar its working for me.

Can I ask if any error has been printed out in the Output Window when player does touch part other than your print Touched and Shell? Can I also ask if both Touched and Shell do print out when a player touches the part?

Also would recommend using local for buttoned. (local buttoned = false)

Use this its working for me

local Buttoned = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Name == "Shell" then
        print("Shell")
        if Buttoned == false then
            Buttoned = true
            script.Parent.Parent.Bridge.CanCollide = true
            script.Parent.Parent.Bridge.Transparency = 0
            for i = 1,15 do
                script.Parent.switch:Play()
                wait(1)
            end
            script.Parent.Parent.Bridge.CanCollide = false
            script.Parent.Parent.Bridge.Transparency = 1
        end
    end
end)

No errors when its touched. And just “touched” is printed when the player touches it because no part that touches it is named “Shell”

Reason why it kept printing Touched is because you had it before you wanted to find the shell.

If it is not solved yet, can you send a file of the place so it’s easier to indentify the problem?

No thanks I think i just solved it
