Hi i have a script that should check the last thing who touched part but this script don’t see an npc.
I made a print example so i can see if npc even visible for script but its doesnt respond for npc but when i moving through part it see me :frowning:
Heres script:

local part = script.Parent


local function onPartTouchEnded(hit)
	print(hit.Parent.Name)
	print(hit.Name)
	if hit.Parent.Name == part.Name then
		part.Ready.Value = true
	end
end

part.TouchEnded:Connect(onPartTouchEnded)

Is the NPC’s name the same as the part’s? I don’t see why that would be the case.

You can find if the hit is from an npc if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) returns nil and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") returns true.

yes the names are the same (30 characters needed)

#4

Are you sure? I just tested comparing a dummy’s name to a part and it worked just fine. Could your dummy name have white space? Either way, it would be better practice to use what I have above, as it’s not dependent on names of objects.

i tryed this method still nothing. maybe it don’t see npc because my another script just destoroys npc?

#6

Is the npc generated in a LocalScript?

#7

nope this npc isnt local (30 charrrs)

#8

Can you show us what it looks like in the explorer?

When you say npc, I assume you mean imported for the built in rig-builder?

Does the npc have a Humanoid as a child to it? The code I have above looks for a humanoid, and makes sure its not a real player touching it.

I might be wrong, but I believe that script has to be a LocalScript.

#12

yes i take my npc template from this plugin

#13

local scripts dont work in workspace

#14

.Touched events in LocalScripts only run with the client touches it. To find an npc this has to be server.

#15

LocalScripts do work in Workspace.

#16

Ah, I rarely use .Touched events haha

#17

im not sure but maybe it don’t work as i have a part that cover the whole npc? i don’t know really

Can you try touch the part and then stop touching it? It says TouchEnded here.

#19 
workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local npc = hit.Parent
	if npc:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(npc) then
		print("An npc has touched the brick.")
	end
end)

This is exact code I used to detect an npc, and it works fine? Does the npc have a Humanoid inside of it?
