How to tell if a part is not being touched?
I have a door that slides open when you touch a certain part, and closes automatically after 5 seconds. Problem is, I want it to close only if that part is not being touched. Is there a way to say something like:
1 | if Part.Touched ~= true then |
or something similar? (Assume Part is the part that you touch to open the door.) This is my current script:
01 | door = script.Parent.Parent.DoorSlide |
02 | isOpen = script.Parent.Parent.IsOpen.Value |
03 | local Debounce = false |
04 |
05 | function MoveOpen() |
06 | if Debounce then return end |
07 | if isOpen == false then |
08 | Debounce = true |
09 | for i = 1, 80 do |
10 | door.CFrame = door.CFrame + Vector3.new(-0.05, 0, 0) |
11 | wait() |
12 | end |
13 | isOpen = true |
14 | Debounce = false |
15 | end |

Any help would be appreciated, even if the answer is quite obvious.

Just check if the number of Touching parts is 0.
There's a neat function of parts called GetTouchingParts and it returns a table of all parts currently in contact with the part. Just check if the number of parts is zero like so,
1 | local part = script.Parent |
2 |
3 | if #part:GetTouchingParts() > 0 then |
4 | print("I'm being Touched!") |
5 | else |
6 | print("I'm lonely.") |
7 | end |
This does not work on models, but should work on anything else. Can be used in any type of script.
Good Luck!
