So if the title didnt make sense, basically i want to touch a part named AttackTrigger so I can unanchor an npc called bob. Here's the code that doesnt work:

view source
01function onTouched(Obj)
02    local h = workspace.Obj.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
03    if h then
04 
05        workspace.Bob.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
06 
07    end
08end
09 
10script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

Check if it's already anchored, and unanchor if it is. Otherwise, anchor it. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 4y

I couldn't reproduce your problem efficiently, but I'll try my best. I assume you have already put the script inside the part and it's a normal script. There's a small mistake you made in the second line.

view source
1local h = workspace.Obj.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

The Obj is a variable passed by the native function of the part Touched.

According to the API reference, the passed variable is BasePart.

It means that you don't need to type workspace. before typing Obj because Obj

is already a variable.

view source
1local h = Obj.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

Also, sometimes(Just sometimes) using class finder is better for unexpected

names if you set the name of the player's Humanoid to a different name...

Using print is always a good practice to debug!

view source
1function onTouched(Obj)
2    local h = Obj.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
3    if h then
4        workspace.Bob.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
5    end
6end
