.Touched script activates even when character being near with trigger part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, I’m working on obby game and for creating an obstacle I used spinning part which causes a damage when character touching it, but I noticed that character gains a damage even when it’s NEAR with damage part, like when it’s not even getting touched. Script located in StarterCharacterScripts. I can’t get it… Is that a engine bug? Desync? or is that a code problem? I’m also tried to trigger .Touched event by using FireServer() with localscript, result was the same. What do I do? q_q

Here’s script:

for i, bodyPart in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
	if bodyPart:IsA('BasePart') then
		bodyPart.Touched:Connect(function(part)
			if part.Name == 'damagePart' then
				if debounce == true then
					return
				else
					script.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 5
					debounce = true
					wait(1)
					debounce = false
				end
			elseif part.Name == 'killPart' then
				script.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= math.huge
			end
		end)
	end
end

And video with demonstration of that weird behaviour

maybe try the entire thing with a localscript? as far as i know setting your own humanoids health to 0 does replicate.

also, your system for detecting collision with parts is very strange, although i dont think it is the problem.

its good practice to have all these parts in a table
i.e

for _, part in pairs(damageParts) do
 part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
   local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
   if hum then
      hum.Health = 0
   end
 end)
end

I remade it into localscript and nope, it didn’t worked and in addition it triggers only once, when player gets damage/killed .Touched event doesn’t get executed anymore

#5

where is the localscript located? it should be in startercharacterscripts i believe.

#6

yeah, it’s located in startercharacterscripts

#7

can i see the code of the script? or is it the same as the one you posted?

#8

is the part spinning a mesh or union instead of classic part?

#9

yeah, it’s same as in post

local debounce = false

for i, bodyPart in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
	if bodyPart:IsA('BasePart') then
		bodyPart.Touched:Connect(function(part)
			if part.Name == 'damagePart' then
				if debounce == true then
					return
				else
					script.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= 5
					debounce = true
					wait(1)
					debounce = false
				end
			elseif part.Name == 'killPart' then
				print("DEBUG: KILL PART TOUCHED")
				script.Parent.Humanoid.Health -= math.huge
			end
		end)
	end
end

Also, in localscript I’m tried to refer to character with game.Players.LocalPlayer instead refering to it by using script.Parent

local debounce = false

for i, bodyPart in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:GetChildren()) do
	if bodyPart:IsA('BasePart') then
		bodyPart.Touched:Connect(function(part)
			if part.Name == 'damagePart' then
				if debounce == true then
					return
				else
					game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health -= 5
					debounce = true
					wait(1)
					debounce = false
				end
			elseif part.Name == 'killPart' then
				print("DEBUG: KILL PART TOUCHED")
				game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health -= math.huge
			end
		end)
	end
end

both of these variants are doesn’t work

#10

it’s the regular part, BasePart not a union and not a mesh

#11

that’s a good idea, but there’s like A LOT of them, won’t it be too much parts to keep track of? Like, it won’t cause a lags?

#12

i dont suspect lag will be much different between the two. the one i provided is common practise and should theoretically work better.

#13

here, i revised your script using that principle. untested, but should work

local char = script.Parent -- this is fine
local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local parts = workspace:GetChildren() -- or wherever your killparts are
local db = false



for _, part in pairs(parts) do
	part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent ~= char then return nil end
		if part.Name == "damagePart" then
			if db == true then return nil end
			db = true
			hum.Health -= 5
			wait(1)
			db = false
		elseif part.Name == "killPart" then
			hum.Health = 0 
		end
	end)
end
#14

whoops, forgot to add a touched event. ill edit it in a second

#15

here:

local char = script.Parent -- this is fine
local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local parts = workspace:GetChildren() -- or wherever your killparts are
local db = false



for _, part in pairs(parts) do
	part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Parent ~= char then return nil end
		if part.Name == "damagePart" then
			if db == true then return nil end
			db = true
			hum.Health -= 5
			wait(1)
			db = false
		elseif part.Name == "killPart" then
			hum.Health = 0 
		end
	end)
end
#16

have you tried this in studio from the server side to check for any visual delays

also check debounce before you give other instructions

#17

I tried, character still gets a damage even when it’s about to touch damage part

#18

how exactly are you rotating the part

#19

I’m tried to spectate on player from server side, yes it actually has delay on client side, but I can’t get it why? and how to fix it?

#20

with CylindricalConstraint, no scripts
