i am trying to make a part that will infinitely change the x size of the part this is what i mean a brick that does a while loop to change the x size of the brick.
i have the script to change the size:
while true do
script.Parent.Size = script.Parent.Size + vector3.new(1,0,0)
end
How would i stop changing the size of the part if the part touches another part or brick?.
Well I would put the loop in another thread and use the Wait function of the event so that when the basepart touches another basepart it will change the value of a variable to something else.
Samples:
Running a while loop with code after to represent that while loops yield the current thread:
while true do
wait(1)
end
print('wow potato')--never printed
Running the same while loop on a different thread:
spawn(function()
while true do
wait(1)
end
end)
print('wow potato')--wow potato
Repeating adding a number until the basepart is touched using Wait
local part = part
local IsTouched = false
spawn(function()
while not IsTouched do
part.Size = part.Size + Vector3.new(1,1,1)
end -- adding size in a different thread, will
-- keep adding size until the variable IsTouched
-- is true
end)
part.Touched:Wait()-- this function also can yield the
-- current thread, it will stop yielding once the event
-- is invoked
IsTouched = true
Using Connect to stop looping size (You do not need to add another thread):
local part = part
local IsTouched = false
part.Touched:Connect(function()
IsTouched = true
end)
while not IsTouched do
part.Size = part.Size + Vector3.new(1,1,1)
end
than you @SoftlockedUnderZero
First of all, you forgot to add a wait, never a good thing in a loop. You also NEED to remember capitalization! Change your loop to this:
while true do
script.Parent.Size = script.Parent.Size + Vector3.new(1,0,0)
wait() --[[Change this to time in SECONDS. Leave it as wait() if you want the block to grow 1 stud in the 'X' direction EVERY 0.3 SECONDS. If you want it to grow every one second, change it to one.]]
end
Try it, and see if it works.
Not sure how to stop it when it touches the brick. Maybe you could use a constraint or FindPartsInRegion3 to stop the block from growing if it detects a different block.
Thankyou @2Loos

Check if the part is a humanoid or not
not a humanoid
