Touches don't get detected by a dummy

Hey. Basically touches don’t get detected by a dummy for some reason.
It doesn’t even print “Touched” which is pretty weird.
Here is my script:

local alreadyDamaged = {}

...

game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").fire.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local humanoidRootPart = char.HumanoidRootPart
	local human = char.Humanoid

...

local function onTouched(hit)
		print("Touched!")
		print(hit)
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") or hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			local Hithumanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid") or hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
			local Hitcharacter = Hithumanoid.Parent
			if Hitcharacter.Name ~= plr.Name then
				print("Not Character")
				if not table.find(alreadyDamaged, Hitcharacter.Name) then
					print("Not found")
					--He isn't on the list yet, damage him 
					table.insert(alreadyDamaged, #alreadyDamaged+1, Hitcharacter.Name)
					Hitcharacter:TakeDamage(damage)
					wait(cooldown)
					table.remove(alreadyDamaged, table.find(alreadyDamaged, Hitcharacter.Name))
				else
					--He is on the list already, don't damage him 
					wait(cooldown)
					if table.find(alreadyDamaged, Hitcharacter.Name) then
						table.remove(alreadyDamaged, table.find(alreadyDamaged, Hitcharacter.Name))
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
...

For some reason it doesn’t detect the touches of dummies, but only of myself. When I walk infront of it, it does print “Touched” etc.
Here is a video about the weird behaviour:


If you need any more information, tell me.

I believe the dummy is anchored and anchored stuff doesn’t get detected by the .Touched event since anchored stuff is physics less.

Try using an alternate detection method like region3 or raycasting.

Oh, that’s weird, seems to work now, as I unanchored his HRP. Thank you!
