Tweenservice causing Touched:Connect to not work?

Asked 399 views1 answers

I made a fireball ability that causes damage on Touched:Connect, it worked before when i was using Body velocity but i reworked the script to make it a tween instead but now the damage and effects dont work

local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Fireball = rp:WaitForChild("Events"):WaitForChild("Fire"):WaitForChild("FireBall")

local Animations = script:WaitForChild("Animations")
local Meshes = script:WaitForChild("Meshes")

local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local speed = script:GetAttribute("Speed")
local Damage = script:GetAttribute("Damage")

Fireball.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player,direction)
	local Character = Player.Character
	local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local humrp = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	local effectsFold = Instance.new("Folder",workspace)
	effectsFold.Name = Player.Name.." Effects"
	Debris:AddItem(effectsFold,6)
	
	local FB = Meshes:WaitForChild("FireBall"):Clone()
	FB.CFrame = humrp.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-3)
	FB.Orientation = FB.Orientation + Vector3.new(0,0,0)
	FB.Parent = effectsFold
	
	local FBgoal = TweenService:Create(FB,TweenInfo.new(4),{CFrame = FB.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-200)})
	FBgoal:Play()
	
	FB.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
		if Hit:IsA("BasePart") then
			if not Hit:IsDescendantOf(Character) then

Likely because it's anchored, not gonna read the script but, Touched doesn't work on 2 anchored parts. Use the solution by potato

CFraming a part into another does not trigger the touched event (your tween is changing cframes) because cframe updates are processed seperately from physics and such where touch events are checked. unfortunately you will have to do something like a ":GetTouchingParts() " loop but thats really performance costly

you sure? ive seen multiple people do it

ok so how can i make it using :GetTouchingParts()

throughout the flight, constantly call :gettouchingparts() and check to see if the table is empty, if not then its touching something and you can check to see if its a character, etc, and do damage. one thing though: if both the fireball and the hit part are canCollide == false then it will not detect. you can bypass this by giving the fireball an empty Touched:Connect(function()end)

yeah thats exactly what i said and thats the exact post where i learned it lol

ok so ive figured out you can only have one instance of an object using :GetTouchingParts() so thats out of the question
