How would I make this function unanchor and destroy?
I'm attempting to make a brick that has a function and when "BuildingBrick" touches it, it will delete. The function works but only for un-anchored "BuildingBrick". How would I make the function un-anchor the part(BuildingBrick) and destroy it when it touches the brick with the script? Edit: I'm using CFraming.
What I attempted to do:
function onTouched(hit) if hit.Name == 'BuildingBrick' and hit.Anchored then hit.Anchored = false hit:Destroy() end end script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
I've also tried
function onTouched(hit) if hit.Name == 'BuildingBrick' or hit.Anchored then hit:Destroy() end end script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
and it dosen't work

Are you CFraming BuildingBrick towards the other brick? dyler3 1510 — 9y

Ok, look here: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Touched Under the notes section, it states, that the touched event will not fire if a brick is being cframed through another brick dyler3 1510 — 9y

Ah, So this is just not possible? 262187 45 — 9y

Well it is, but you might need to do it a different way. An example would be to use a script to find all the edges of each block, and from there use a Changed() event to find out whether they're touching whenever the part is moved. There's probably more efficient ways to do it, but this is just an example. dyler3 1510 — 9y

As someone mentioned in the comments, the Touched event will not fire if you are CFraming a part through another part. However - you could use a while loop and the GetTouchingParts() method to see if said part is touching the part. Script:
while wait(.1) do -- Not foolproof, because if the part takes less than .1 seconds to move through the part, it won't necessarily pick up the touch
local parts = script.Parent:GetTouchingParts()
for i, part in pairs(parts) do
if part.Name == "BuildingBrick" and part.Anchored then
part.Anchored = false
part:Destroy()
end
end
end
