Why would this trigger before I touch the brick?
So, in my game, I have an invisible sphere at the top of a ramp. It is anchored. When a person touches a brick, it is supposed to appear and become unanchored, therefore rolling down the ramp. Then, when someone touches the sphere, they are supposed to take 25 damage, and the sphere should slowly fade away, turning off cancollide. Here is the trigger script...
function onTouched(part) script.Parent.Parent.Ball.Transparency = 0 script.Parent.Parent.Ball.Anchored = false end script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
And this is the ball script...
function onTouched(part)
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h ~= nil then
h.Health = h.Health - 25
script.Disabled = true
for i = 1, 10 do
script.Parent.Transparency = script.Parent.Transparency - 1
wait(.2)
end
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
When I first enter the game (not touching my trigger AT ALL!) the ball appears and rolls down. Then, when touched, it takes away the damage, deactivates, but it doesn't disappear. Help?

Making The Brick Transparent
The only problem that I see is in your second script. Parts turn completely transparent (invisible) at a transparency of 1. This means, that they start at 0, and you need to build it up, not take it down, to make the part transparent. To do that we'll use this:
function onTouched(part)
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h ~= nil then
h.Health = h.Health - 25
script.Disabled = true
for i = 1, 10 do
script.Parent.Transparency = script.Parent.Transparency + .1
wait(.2)
end
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
Anyways, that should now be fixed. Now for the other script.
Making The Part Appear
I'm not exactly sure if this is the problem or not, but I believe the part may be making contact with another part which is making it go off at the wrong time.
To fix this, we'll just need to make sure that it's a player touching the part, and not another part. We'll use this script:
function onTouched(part)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
script.Parent.Parent.Ball.Transparency = 0
script.Parent.Parent.Ball.Anchored = false
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
Anyways, I believe that those would be the only problems, and if I did everything correctly, they should be fixed now.
If you have any further problems/questions, please leave a comment below. Hope I helped :P
