.Touched won't Register Parts other than my character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Recently I have been working on a project of mine, and I decided to try to make a tornado that would be able to rip my buildings apart (In this case UnAnchoring so that the buildings fall apart).

I have taken a mesh from an old Roblox Gear and put it inside a MeshPart. I have also added scripts so that it will spin and move around.

The problem that I am facing is that I can’t make the buildings break. This is the script that I am using:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Object)
	print(Object)
	if Object:IsA("BasePart") then
		Object.Anchored = false
	end
end)

When I run the game, the tornado ignores everything as if it didn’t exist. However, it registers my avatars body parts. Any ideas/suggestions on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

How are you moving the tornado? The dev wiki says "…so it will not fire if the CFrame property was changed such that the part overlaps another part.

As in, it has to be an actual physical interaction.

I am using TweenService to move it. Here is the movement code:

local TweenService = game:GetService(“TweenService”)

while true do
wait(2)
local info = TweenInfo.new(8)
local Target = Vector3.new(math.random(-96,96),43.5,math.random(-96,96))
local where = {}
where.Position = Target
local Tween = TweenService:Create(script.Parent, info, where)
Tween:Play()
end

I’m thinking that Tween Service would not work with Touched. Try simply dropping the tornado from the sky to test if Touched works that way.

That do work, but how should I move it then? I kind of want to find a way for it to move smooth while spining

I managed to fix it by changing the movement to a body position that changes position every 3 secconds. It works for now, so I will mark it as a solution. If I encounter more problems, then I will be in touch :+1:

Thanks for your help imalex4 :smile:
