The picture ^^ shows two parts, the ball and the actual part.
The ball’s script is:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(lol)
if lol.Name == "hit" then
local ran4 = math.random(1,10)
local ran6 = math.random(1,10)
script.Parent.Velocity = Vector3.new(ran4,10,ran6)
end
end)
And the part’s script is:
while true do
script.Parent.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.CanTouch = false
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
wait(5)
script.Parent.Transparency = .5
script.Parent.CanTouch = true
script.Parent.CanCollide = true
wait(1)
end
Two very simple scripts, but yet they don’t work. Thoughts?
edit: Part’s name is “hit” and the ball’s name is “ball”
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(lol)
if lol.Parent.Name == "hit" then
local ran4 = math.random(1,10)
local ran6 = math.random(1,10)
script.Parent.Velocity = Vector3.new(ran4,10,ran6)
end
end)
I assume both of the objects are anchored. When two parts are anchored .Touched wont fire because they basically don’t move(physically). Although there are functions that can be called manually to check two parts touching state, like workspace:GetPartsInPart(part1) and part1:GetTouchingParts() which return an array of parts touching the object.
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
function partsTouching(part1, part2)
--local parts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(part1)
local parts = part1:GetTouchingParts()
if table.find(parts, part2) then
return true
else
return false
end
end
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
local touching = partsTouching(workspace.Baseplate, workspace.SpawnLocation)
print("touching:", touching)
end)
Although when it comes to anchored parts, those functions return true if the two parts are intersecting with eachother, not touching. To detect if two anchored parts are just touching, you may have to use raycasting.
I did that, and the script doesnt seem to register that the ball has touched it. Only the ball isn’t anchored, the part that is detecting whether the part has touched it or not. If it matters, the ball isn’t moving and is stuck between four parts. Not sure if that’s what is happening. But when I try and move the ball, the part doesn’t resigter that it touches the part, not a script, the actual part goes through the ball. I have no idea why
Only one of them is anchored, the part, not the ball. If it helps, the ball isn’t moving and is stuck, which is why I need to move it so its not stuck.
I am making a ball throwing game if that makes sense, if the person misses, the ball will go down this sort of hole, I kind of want to avoid putting a part down each hole, since there is about 208 different holes. I have this part above all, which is on a while loop, enabling and disabling the script above. I know its probably not the most efficient, but I am a new scripter
edit: placed the parts in the holes, luckily they’re in a pattern so it was not painful at all
