Why isn't there an explosion once it hits?[Solved]

Asked 372 views1 answers

I made a script, it shoots a part, the part welds to what ever it hits, wait 5 seconds, and then explodes. Unfortunately, it isn't blowing up! Why not? Here is my script

function onTouched(hit)
local weld = Instance.new ("Weld")
weld.Parent = hit
weld.Part0 = script.Parent
weld.Part1 = hit
wait(5)
--not my part
ex = Instance.new("Explosion")--Create An Explosion
ex.Position = script.Parent.Position --The Explosions Position Is The Brick
ex.BlastRadius = 2 --A 5 by 5 Explosion.
ex.Parent = script.Parent --You got to be able to see it.
--my part again
hit:BreakJoints()
script.Parent:Remove()

end

connection = script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Please help!!! Thank you!!! --this is in a regular script, should it be in local?

You forgot to set C0 and C1 after line 5, that could be the problem.

Not setting those properties shouldn't matter. The bricks will simply have the exact same CFrame. @yogi; Add some print statements before and after the wait(5). Are any of them working?

Here is the right script. It works and you can see the explosion 

function onTouched(hit)
    local weld = Instance.new ("Weld")
    weld.Parent = hit
    weld.Part0 = script.Parent
    weld.Part1 = hit
    wait(5)
    local explo = Instance.new("Explosion")
    explo.Parent = game.Workspace
    explo.BlastRadius = 2
    explo.Position = Vector3.new(script.Parent.Position.X,script.Parent.Position.Y,script.Parent.Position.Z)
    hit:BreakJoints()
    wait(1)
    script.Parent:Remove()
end

connection = script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
