I have a script that separates all of the parts but it kills the player. I want it to keep destroying the parts but I do not want it to kill the player. How do I make it so that the player is not killed in the process of the script?
function onTouched(hit)
hit:BreakJoints()
end
connection = script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
Check if hit is a member of a humanoid.
You can do this by checking if the part's parent has a humanoid.
"How?"
Use an if statement!
First, make sure that the part exists. This is not necessary but I like doing so.
function onTouched(hit)
if hit then
hit:BreakJoints()
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
There.
Now we need to see if the "hit's" parent has a Humanoid. We can check both with one if statement by using the keyword and. Like so,
function onTouched(hit)
if hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then--check both
hit:BreakJoints()
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
The above only breaks the joints of things that don't have a humanoid. This would still break the joints of an NPC and such, but that shouldn't be a problem for you. If it is however,
Check for the hit's parent's name in Players.
Just add this to the if statement.
-- If you have NPC's.
function onTouched(hit)
if hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) then--check all
hit:BreakJoints()
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
There's a slight chance that the NPC will have the same name as a player but we'll assume this problem doesn't exist as it's really rare.
That should work.
Hope that helps.
Good Luck!

What should the script's parent be?
The part that's in workspace you want to monitor the touch event for.
