How do i check if part named "Touching part" touched hitbox?

Asked 117 views1 answers

I want hitbox that detects if part named "Touching part" Touches it when it does it executes code

Here is what i have so far:

local part = script.Parent
local light = script.Parent.Parent.SpotLight
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit:FindFirstChild("TouchingPart") then
		light.Enabled = false
	end
end)

"FindFirstChild" isn't trying to get the name, its trying to find a child inside of the part that hit it (or "hit") named "TouchingPart". Instead you would compare the two strings by getting the Name property of the part, which will return the name of the part, then compare it inside of a if statement with the string "ToucingPart".

local part = script.Parent


part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Name == "TouchingPart" then -- Getting the name property of a part will return a string in which you could compare with another in a if statement.
		-- whatever you want
	end
end)
