Tsunami script not detecting hit welds

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi everyone, im working on a tsunami wave that destroys weldconstraints in the part it hit, however for some reason the weld isnt being destroyed or detected at all, does anyone know how i could fix this? thanks in advance !

local tsunami = script.Parent
local tws = game:GetService("TweenService")
local goalpos = tsunami.Position - Vector3.new(0 ,50, 700)

wait(10)

local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(20, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local tween = tws:Create(tsunami, tweeninfo, {Position = goalpos})
tween:Play()

tsunami:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Position"):Connect(function()
	local touchingparts = tsunami:GetTouchingParts()
	for i, v in pairs(touchingparts) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			for _, v in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
				if v:IsA("WeldConstraint") then
					v:Destroy()
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

you use v twice, change it to something else in the for loops :D

thanks for the suggestion, but sadly it didnt fix it :frowning:

Is this a server script or a local script? Also make sure to set the anchored property to false for each basepart :D

local tsunami = script.Parent
local tws = game:GetService("TweenService")
local goalpos = tsunami.Position - Vector3.new(0 ,50, 700)

wait(10)

local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(20, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local tween = tws:Create(tsunami, tweeninfo, {Position = goalpos})
tween:Play()

tsunami:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Position"):Connect(function()
	local touchingparts = tsunami:GetTouchingParts()
	for i, v in pairs(touchingparts) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
            v.Anchored = false
			for _, partChild in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
				if partChild:IsA("WeldConstraint") then
					partChild:Destroy()
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

Oh, and do you have multiple welds per part? If not, you can use FindFirstChildOfClass() :D

yeah its a server script and the parts are already unanchored by default, i have multiple welds per part

#6

I don’t see why it doesn’t work then… Any way I can have a barebones file of the game? I wanna figure this one out :P

heres an rbxm for the tsunami wave, you could just use some breakable house freemodel for the thing being destroyed

#8

How are the welds structured? Can I just have one rbxm file of something, you can remove the color. For example a fence or something insignificant. Thanks!

Because the tsunami might be deleting the welds under a part, but there’s a weld under another parts that isn’t touched by the tsunami, holding the two together.

here you go, the welds are created with an autoweld script, the autoweld script isnt the problem though

I was thinking something like this

uhhh so I found your issue

local touchingParts = tsunami:GetTouchingParts()
print(touchingParts)

doesn’t print anything, even when touching the house

i see, for some reason it only detects seats and not parts on my end

Good news, progress… but still errors lol

oh wow nice, could i know how you did this? i could probably just add a pcall function so the error doesnt halt the script

#15

pcall? Wow you know more than me xD

local tsunami = script.Parent
local tws = game:GetService("TweenService")
local goalpos = tsunami.Position - Vector3.new(0, 0, -300)

wait(1)

local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(20, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
local tween = tws:Create(tsunami, tweeninfo, {Position = goalpos})
tween:Play()

tsunami:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Position"):Connect(function()
	
	local touchingParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(tsunami)
	
	for _, touchingPart in pairs(touchingParts) do
		
		if touchingPart:IsA("BasePart") then
			
			for _, shouldBeWeld in pairs(touchingPart:GetChildren()) do
				if shouldBeWeld:IsA("WeldConstraint") then
					
					if shouldBeWeld.Part1 then -- this is how I solved the issue without the pcall
						for _, weld in pairs(shouldBeWeld.Part1:GetChildren()) do
							if weld:IsA("WeldConstraint") then

								weld:Destroy()

							end
						end
					end
					
					shouldBeWeld:Destroy()
					
				end
			end

		end
	end
end)

Probably super unoptimized, but I’m passing that problem on to you :joy:
