TouchEnded triggering after unequipping a tool?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I don’t know if this is the right category, because it could be an engine bug.

The problem I have is that I made a “zone system” where you basically touch a hitbox and a gui saying “now entering …” pops up. It has a debounce so that it doesn’t pop up again until .TouchEnded is triggered, which for some reason is triggered after unequipping a tool, it disables the debounce and the message pops up again.

Is there any way to solve this or it’s an engine bug?

show script (kgewpwepk[pekgoweko)

#3 
local debounce = false
local text = "factory"

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then
		if not debounce then
			debounce = true
			local char = hit.Parent
			local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
			plr.PlayerGui.Zones.MainFrame.ZoneName.Text = text
			plr.PlayerGui.Zones.MainFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.1, 0),Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,0.5)
			wait(3)
			plr.PlayerGui.Zones.MainFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, 0, -0.1, 0),Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,0.5)
			script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
				if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") then
					wait(0.5)
					debounce = false
				end
			end)
		end
	end
end)

the script works, it’s just the .TouchEnded being triggered when it shouldn’t be

because the tool is also a child of the character I guess and whenever you unequip it TouchEnded fires

#5

oh true, im dumb and i didnt realise

wait, but it says script.Parent, when for the tool it should be script.Parent.Parent

#6

ye just check if the “hit” was Tool and if it was tool then just ignore it

#7

I’m using this
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") and not hit.Parent:IsA("Tool") then
but it still gets triggered?

#8

can you print(hit)

#9

apparently, i was right at first…
when i unequip the tool every part inside the body (except the handle) gets printed again

btw heres a video proof https://gyazo.com/9a1b7d7c0ab99d60e893b38e0d9adc22

Touch Ended usually fires from anything it’s touched, you could detect if the humanoidrootpart.cframe or pos is inside the box / casted and once it realizes your in there make it where it won’t repeat it again until it detects you out of the box.

Touch Ended isn’t reliable on Zone-Detections, I recommend looking at Zone+ or some other scripts in the Dev Forum.

It works fine to me, thats the only problem i’ve seen so far.

I never heard of what you just said and im kinda new so it’s probably gonna be hard to use

Ooh, yeah should’ve made a link towards it. But atleast it’s working fine, if you do want to see it just let me know.

Split this line into two separate conditionals.
