Why is the transparency of the parts in my model only changing once and never agaim?

I’m trying to make a mining system that awards the player currency upon mining an ore, but, the transparency of the ore seems to only be working once. Might there be a solution to this?

Serverscript that only runs once.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local OreTouchedEvent = ReplicatedStorage.OreTouchedEvent
local OreTransparency = 0


OreTouchedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Ore)
	local char = player.Character
	local hum = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	if hum then
		local pickaxe = char:FindFirstChild("Pickaxe")
		if pickaxe then
			for _, v  in ipairs(Ore:GetChildren()) do
				if v:IsA("BasePart") and v.Name ~= "Hitbox" then
					v.Transparency = OreTransparency + 0.25
						wait(2)
				end
			end				
		end
	end
end)

i dont see what the purpose of the wait(2) is what if you remove it?

#3

The wait(2) is there as a way to limit how many times the model goes transparent. Since if it wasn’t there, the ore would vanish in an instant and I don’t want this to happen

#4

the ore wouldnt vanish in an instant. it depends on how fast the event gets called. the wait just delays the code from going through the model

#5

This should work, although I haven’t tested it.

local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local OreTouchedEvent = ReplicatedStorage.OreTouchedEvent
local OreTransparency = 0
local debounce = false

OreTouchedEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, Ore)
local char = player.Character
local hum = char:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”)
if hum then
local pickaxe = char:FindFirstChild(“Pickaxe”)
if pickaxe then
if debounce == false then
debounce = true
for _, v in ipairs(Ore:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA(“BasePart”) and v.Name ~= “Hitbox” then
v.Transparency = OreTransparency + 0.25
wait(2)
debounce = false
end
end
end
end
end
end)

I have removed the wait, and the transparency is still only changed once unfortunately.

#8

I’d still like a possible answer to this question, as I haven’t figured this out yet…

#9

Try inserting prints into the code to see what runs, I’d also like to see how you’re calling the event and why you’re using a remote event? I’d imagine you’d detect the touch on the server and use a bindable event instead of client sided detection then using remotes?

#10

Sure. I’ll show you where the remote event is connected to! In fact, there’s four which call the same remote event. But, I’ll just show you both.

local IronOre = game.Workspace.IronOre
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Hitbox = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Hitbox")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local OreTouchedEvent = replicatedStorage.OreTouchedEvent

Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(player)
	OreTouchedEvent:FireServer(IronOre)
end)

local GoldOre = game.Workspace.GoldOre
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Hitbox = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Hitbox")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local OreTouchedEvent = replicatedStorage.OreTouchedEvent

Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(player)
	OreTouchedEvent:FireServer(GoldOre)
end)
#11

These are both localscripts found within the IronOre and GoldOre models respectively

#12

Are the hitboxes touch once?
Char Limit

#13

They’re supposed to be able to be touched multiple times, and it works as intended up until

v.Transparency = OreTransparency + 0.25
#14

I don’t think you should put that script in the ServerScriptStorage. That’s my guess and I do not exactly know

#15

What are you using for these hitboxes? Also when I say hit once, i mean if the same part touches the hitbox multiple times it ignores its touches besides for the first hit.

#16

As you can see here, the hitbox is a basepart

And uh… It does run I can assure you that!

That’s pretty strange. Try changing V.Transparency = OreTransparency + 0.25 to V.Transparency += 0.25? Other than that I would seriously recommend switching from remote events to bindable events and having everything done on the server.

Very odd.

#20

V.Transparency += 0.25 not OreTransparency

#21

I’m unsure as to how bindable events work to be honest with you, but I’ll try to figure them out once this issue is rectified
