Can you confirm that the player touches the 'part'? appxritixn 2235 — 3y

When the part is touched, it is not specified what actually touched it.
For example,
local Part = game:GetService("Workspace"):WaitForChild("Part")
Part.Touched:Connect(function(TouchedPart)
--This will fire every time the part is touched even if it isn't the player
end
We need to make sure its the Player touching the part and not some other random BasePart.
To ensure its the player we can do this:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Part = game:GetService("Workspace"):WaitForChild("Part")
Part.Touched:Connect(function(TouchedPart)
if Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(TouchedPart.Parent) then
--Do your code here
end
end
The reason this works is because GetPlayerFromCharacter() will return Nil if no Player can be associated with the Character, thus meaning an If-Then Statement will return false if no player can be found.
