How Could I Check If A Collision Group On PhysicsService Already Exists?
So I Recently Stumbled Upon A Error In My Game It Says:
****Cannot Create Collision Group One Already Exists
So I Was Wondering How Could I Check To See If it Already Exists To Prevent Errors?
Here Is My Code:
physicsService = game:GetService'PhysicsService'
for i = 1,3 do
if physicsService:GetCollisionGroupName("Group"..i) then
print("Collision Groups Exist!")
else
physicsService:CreateCollisionGroup("Group"..i)
end
end
physicsService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable("Group1", "Group2", false)
Please Help As I Have Not Seen This Error Before.

I found a devforum post related to your error, you can try this
local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
local function CreateCollisionGroup(collisionGroupName)
local createdGroups = PhysicsService:GetCollisionGroups()
local collisionGroupExists = {} do
for _, createdGroup in pairs(createdGroups) do
collisionGroupExists[createdGroup] = true
end
end
if not collisionGroupExists[collisionGroupName] then
PhysicsService:CreateCollisionGroup(collisionGroupName)
end
end
CreateCollisionGroup("Group1")
CreateCollisionGroup("Group2")
PhysicsService:CollisionGroupSetCollidable("Group1", "Group2", false)
I don't have much experience with PhysicsService, so this may not work Post: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/script-erroring-that-a-collision-group-already-exists-when-it-doesnt/322318
