I am trying to make a 1+ leaderstats giver by making another part touch another part which when they collide with eachother you will get 1+ leaderstats and the block will disappear and I need to know how to detect if one part touches another, can someone help me?

How can you detect if one part touches another part?

FIrst we should define the part that we specifically want to be touching the target. Let's pretend it's a ball that is going to touch a socket.
If the script is inside the part you are moving around, we can assume that it's going to touch a lot of things, which would make the script run over and over again, potentially causing lag. I would recommend running the script in the socket or target instead
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", game.Workspace)
leaderstats.Name = "Contacts"
local points = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)
points.Name = "Points"
local Target = script.Parent
local Ball = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Ball")
local debounce = false -- make sure the code below only runs once when the part touches the target
Target.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if not debounce then -- make sure debounce is set to false
debounce = true
if hit == Ball then
print("Ball has touched the part")
Ball:Destroy() -- destroy the part
points.Value += 1 -- increment the points by 1
end
debounce = false
end
end)
You can use this to check when the part touches another part:
--make and connect a function for when a part is touched
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
--put scripts regarding leaderStats here
--destroy the part
script.Parent:Destroy()
end)
