WHy does the :Destroy() function not work?

I have a script here:

tool = script.Parent
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()
tool.Activated:connect(function()
    local Part = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
    Part.Size = Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)
    Part.Shape = ("Ball")
    Part.Position = Vector3.new(-3.5,0.5,4.5)
    Part.CFrame = tool.Handle.CFrame
    Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(Part.Position,mouse.Hit.p)
    local v = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", Part)
    v.velocity = Part.CFrame.lookVector *90
    v.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
    wait(0.5)
    Part.Touched:connect(function(hit)

        if hit.Name == "Snow" then
            local Snow = hit
            Snow:Destroy()
        end 
    end)
    end)

But the problem is that when the projectile reaches the snow, nothing happens, and there is not even a error in the output.

So what's the problem and how do I fix it?

Btw i recommend not going through the projectile script because i know it already works. y0ucef123 72 — 8y

Your code seems fine for the most part, but I think you're binding the .Touched() function too late. You use wait(0.5) on line 14. As the velocity of the part is 90 studs/second (as seen on line 12), this means the part will have traveled a minimum of 45 studs before the .Touched() event starts working on the part. I personally recommend just removing the wait(0.5).

tool = script.Parent
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()

tool.Activated:connect(function()
    local Part = Instance.new("Part")
    Part.Size = Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1)
    Part.Shape = ("Ball")
    Part.Position = Vector3.new(-3.5,0.5,4.5)
    Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(tool.Handle.Position,mouse.Hit.p)
    local v = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", Part)
    v.velocity = Part.CFrame.lookVector * 90
    v.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
    Part.Parent = workspace
    Part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
        if hit.Name == "Snow" then
            hit:Destroy()
        end 
    end)
end)

Also, I don't recommend using the 2nd argument of Instance.new(obj,parent). It's been seen as causing a lot of unnecessary lag.

If this didn't solve your problem, feel free to tell me!
