What is the correct way of triggering code if a part is touched?
Hello everyone, I was creating a little script where if someone touches the seat again, then the loop stops. So I added a little if statement that goes like this.
01 | local seat = script.Parent |
02 |
03 | seat.TouchEnded:Connect(function()) |
04 | local count = 0 |
05 | while count < 30 do |
06 | if seat.Touched then |
07 | break |
08 | end |
09 | if count == 30 then |
10 | game.Workspace.Tank:Destroy() |
11 | end |
12 | count = count + 1 |
13 | wait(0.5) |
14 | end |
15 |
16 | end) |
So I think I have done a little weird mistake, like i'm doubting the line that says "if seat.Touched then". Please help me with my script. Thanks!

The issue here is the wrapping of the function. An arguments list ends when a ) is added. If you look at the line where the function gets connected in the event's :Connect function, you'll see the arguments list end before the first line of the code you want to wrap. Everything else is fine, you simply need to remove the ) of the :Connect.

Hey i think this will be the answer to your question. Also your code looks messy but you can tidy them up by doing like i did.
01 | local seat = script.Parent |
02 | local Break = false |
03 |
04 | seat.Touched:Connect(function() -- Sets up an event that sets break to true |
05 | Break = true |
06 | end |
07 |
08 | seat.TouchEnded:Connect(function()) |
09 |
10 | local count = 0 |
11 | Break = false -- Resets the value when you leave the seat |
12 |
13 | while count < 30 do |
14 |
15 | if Break then -- breaks from the loop if Break = true |
0
01 | local Seat = script.Parent |
02 | local Count = 30 |
03 | local IsTouching = false |
04 |
05 | seat.Touched:Connect(function() |
06 | Count = 30 -- Reset time |
07 | IsTouching = true |
08 | end) |
09 |
10 | seat.TouchEnded:Connect(function() |
11 | IsTouching = false -- Make it false |
12 |
13 | while wait(1) do -- Every 1 second |
14 | if IsTouching == false then -- Detect if IsTouching == false, if not it obviously does not pass the statement |
15 | Count -= 1 -- Minus one |
