Part not being detected...?

Asked by

Hey guys.

I have the following script, and yes, it's an nuke. I want it to detect the parts it touches, but it seems like it only works when I press run, and MOVE a part so it touches it. Only then the script works.

Any help?

nuke = script.Parent.CFrame

for name, child in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
    if child:IsA("BasePart") and child.Name ~= "nuke" and child.Name ~= "Baseplate" and child.Name ~= "BasePlate" then
    child.Anchored = false
    child:BreakJoints()
end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(cor)
    cor.Material = "CorrodedMetal"
    wait(3)
    cor:Remove()
end)


while true do
    script.Parent.Size = script.Parent.Size + Vector3.new(1,1,1)
    script.Parent.CFrame = nuke
    wait()
end

The event only registers for touches after the server starts. In other words parts already touching it can't be affected until they disconnect and re-connect to it. You could, however, use the GetTouchingParts function to determine what base-parts are in contact with your part, but it would only return parts that intersect with yours.

If GetTouchingParts works for you, you can use it like so

local part = script.Parent

for _, touching in pairs(part:GetTouchingParts()) do
    touching.Material = "CorrodedMetal"
    ...
end
