Yes, the blue underline has now been removed and the text is red.

#23

its being angry :skull:. hmmm i should of pasted the code in roblox studio to check with the errors. Give me a second to do that

#24

No, not a red line. The text is red. I think that means it’s a function

#25

oh mb you said red underline so i thought something went wrong lol

#26

Heres something I came up with your code that you’ve shown me

I have forgotten to say that anything under the parent of the ball will also be included in the

You actually can shorten the code without having two separate scripts doing the same thing actually. Which i am assuming

Heres a revised code you could use

-- In my opinion i wouldn't put scripts directly in workspace, but in serverscriptservice.
local RedGoal = workspace:WaitForChild("RedGoal")
local BlueGoal = workspace:WaitForChild("BlueGoal")

local Ball = workspace:WaitForChild("Ball")

local params = OverlapParams.new()
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = { Ball }
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist

function Reset()
    Ball.Anchored = true
    Ball.Position = Vector3.new(10, 110.5, -3)
    Ball.Position = Vector3.new(19, 3.799, 1.5)

    resetRed()
    resetBlue()

    Ball.Anchored = false
    Ball.AssemblyLinearVelocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
    Ball.AssemblyAngularVelocity = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
end

function Check()
    local redGoalParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(RedGoal, params)
    local blueGoalParts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(BlueGoal, params)

    if table.find(redGoalParts, Ball) then
        -- Give red points/logic
    elseif table.find(blueGoalParts, Ball) then
        -- Give blue points/logic
    else return end

    Reset()
end

game:GetService("RunService").HeartBeat:Connect(Check)

It works! I made it so that it prints “Goal”, but it prints like 60x everytime it touches, do I just add a wait function?

#28

Hm, you could use an variable to store to disable the checking. So right when it hits, you can set the variable, like checking, to false, and have a if statement checking at the top if not checking then return end then when it gets reset and stuff, you can set the checking variable back to true

Works, but the ball slows down in the air, is this my pc’s problem or the code’s?

#30

It could be the physics of the roblox engine is dying, not sure really though. Do you have any fps drops or something like that, and does the slow falling of the ball happen when it touches a goal?

#31

Ball.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if part.Name == “Goal” then
print(“Goal!”)
end
end)
