I’m trying to use a ray cast to detect if the piano is touched or not, but the issue with it is for some reason it is spammed for an indefinite amount of time…
This is the code that makes the piano explode, and it seems like the explode() function keeps getting fired even though activated = true
local raycastResult
local activated = false
function raycastDown(bombClone, user)
if not activated then
local rayParams = RaycastParams.new()
rayParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
rayParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {Piano}
raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(Piano.Position, Vector3.new(0, -4, 0), rayParams)
if raycastResult then
local partsInRadius = Piano:GetTouchingParts()
for i, v in pairs(partsInRadius) do
if game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(v) then
local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(v)
if player and player.Team ~= user.Team then
raycastResult.Instance.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(35)
explode(bombClone, user)
activated = true
end
end
end
if activated == false then -- if the connection is still true and no players have been hit, then just explode the piano.
explode(bombClone, user)
activated = true
end
end
end
end
local connection
ActivateBombRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(user, pianoDropCFrame)
local bombClone = Piano:Clone()
bombClone.Parent = game.Workspace
bombClone.CanCollide = true
bombClone.CFrame = pianoDropCFrame * CFrame.new(0, 100, 0)
bombClone.Anchored = false
bombClone.Transparency = 0
connection = runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
raycastDown(bombClone, user)
end)
repeat task.wait() until activated == true
connection:Disconnect()
end)

Seems like the line that changes the activated variable to true isn’t being reached because it errors within the explode() function.
I believe this line here is the culprit within the explode() function
The errors you received shows that there is no child of the part “piano” (in this case the variable bomb) called Explosion. Either the Explosion object was never added to the piano beforehand, or it is still loading when it trys to index it.
Make sure that the part Piano has the particle emitter within it. If it does, then in the code you should use :FindFirstChild("Explosion") (So it doesn’t error) and create a case for when it can’t find that particle emitter.
