I just want it to print out touched.Parent it use to react to everything that touched it now it doesn’t?

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(touched)
	print(touched.Parent)
end)

So do you want to print the object value of the touches object or the name?

Just the name of the part it touched I tried touched.Parent.Name which didn’t work, it’s probably some small part of the code I missed but I have this and here’s what happens.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(touched)
	script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

Sorry but I’m not sure how you could do that. But also an off topic question, how do you do it so it does code like colored? (I’m new to the forum)

Quoting from the developer hub page:

The Touched event only fires when an unanchored part touches the part with the Touched event, which explains why it only fires when a player walks onto it.

In other words…

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(touched) -- Part with the Touched Thing
	print(touched) -- It Must be unanchored
end)

Yeah, I figured that out but it still doesn’t solve my problem.
