Why is my touched script not working (how can I "reset" a script)?
In my game, there is a part which represents a seed on top of a part which is meant to look like soil. If a player steps on the soil part, the seed will slowly become transparent. After that, the function is disconnected. This part of the script is successful. However, after that part of the script, I want another part (sprout) to emerge after a player touches the soil again.
This is what I've tried and it's not working:
01 | --When the seed dissolves in the soil after being touched |
02 | seed = game.Workspace.Seed |
03 | yop = script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(x) |
04 | if x.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")then |
05 | yop:disconnect() |
06 | for i= 0,1,0.01 do |
07 | seed.Transparency = i |
08 |
09 |
10 |
11 |
12 | wait() |

One thing that I found to be a problem in your script is the :disconnect() which is obsolete, or no longer of use in Roblox. It will end up erroring if you decide to print it. So to replace that to make sure they cannot touch it multiple times at once and screw up the script just add a debounce. This will make sure that your script can work when the player touches the part. Now, I assume you only want two things to happen once they touch it twice, not any loops back to the beginning so I would wright the code like this:
01 | --When the seed dissolves in the soil after being touched |
02 | -- Make sure this script is a descendant of the part |
03 | touch = true |
04 | seed = script.Parent |
05 | seed.Touched:connect(function(x) |
06 | print("Touch") |
07 |
08 | if touch == true then |
09 | if seed.Transparency == 1 then |
10 | x.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
11 | touch = false |
12 | for i = 1,0,-0.1 do |
13 | seed.Transparency = i |
14 | wait(1) |
15 | print("0") |

The best way to do this is to insert a "IntValue" into the player when they join, (which is game.Players.PlayerAdded) and that intvalue functions like this:
01 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(x) |
02 | if x.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")then |
03 | if game.Workspace.Seed.Transparency == 1 then |
04 | if x.Parent:FindFirstChild(IntValueWeTalkedAbout) then |
05 | if x.Parent:FindFirstChild(IntValueWeTalkedAbout).Value == 2 then |
06 | for m = 1,0,-0.01 do |
07 | game.Workspace.Sprout.Transparency = m |
08 | end |
09 | wait() |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
PLEASE note that this is just pseudo code and is just set to be an example. Im just trying to give you some ideas. If you have any further questions, just reply!
script.Disabled = true wait() script.Disabled = false. Thats how you would 'reset' your script
