Water Manipulation touch glitched?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hi. Im trying to make a Water Manipulation ability, where you send out stream of water that after touching something, should emit particles. Everything works fine except the touch function. I don’t know why, but the part flies through other blocks and then explodes, when it should be like this at the same time when it touches the other part. I also did Fire Blast and Air Blast, however they work fine. I don’t know what’s wrong with this one, even though its the same script with just different particles/parts.

you need to post the code so people can help

I second this. Section is for scripting support. Can’t really support without any code/scripts.

You mentioned at it’s core, it’s pretty much the same code as fire blast and air blast right?

7

Yes it is. Just different particles and animations

8

Then most likely due to the part, check if certain properties are on like canCollide/canTouch, etc.

i suggest you use raycasts instead of touch events, as touch events aren’t guaranteed to work/be accurate. If you still want the projectile to travel, look up fastcast
