Any reason as to why explosion on touch isn't working?

Asked 158 views1 answers

Hi, i have an explosion script but it doesn't appear to work. It's supposed to explode a part once another part is touched Any ideas? Script:

local lock = 0

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
  local bang = instance.new("Explosion")
  local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    bang.BlastPressure = 67
    bang.BlastRadius = 40
    if h ~= nil then
    lock = lock +1
     if not lock == 1 then
       bang.Position = game.Workspace.specialexplosionpart2.Position
             wait(2)
         bang.parent = game.Workspace
       end
    end
end)

Maybe add the parent first before changing the position?

Hmm, seems to just spawn the explosion in a random position. I'm going to try re-installing Roblox Studio. May just be my computer or something like that.

Lock will be always 1, you either have to remove the line where it checks it, or make something for it to not be 1

local lock = 0

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
  local bang = instance.new("Explosion")
  local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    bang.BlastPressure = 67
    bang.BlastRadius = 40
    if h ~= nil then
    -- lock = lock +1 was the problem
     if not lock == 1 then
       bang.Position = game.Workspace.specialexplosionpart2.Position
             wait(2)
         bang.parent = game.Workspace
       end
    end
end)
