Why does the part anchor in mid air?

Why does the part anchor in mid air? I want it to anchor the moment it touches the ground. Also, I want it to anchor on top of a part if it falls on top of it. What is the solution? Here is a GIF of what it does: http://www.giphy.com/gifs/l2JhzIRAvRu8HOScw

while true do
    Part = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
    Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
    Part.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
    Part.Position = Vector3.new(0, 128, 0)
    Part.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
    Part.TopSurface = "Smooth"
    function onTouched(hit)
        if hit.ClassName == "Part" then
            Part.Anchored = true
        end
    end
    Part.Touched:connect(onTouched)
    wait(0.5)
end

Thanks!

You could add a check to the if statement in the onTouched function to check if the hit name is Baseplate. shayner32 478 — 8y

Sorry I did not mention I wasn't it to anchor if it falls on top of the other parts, I added it to my question. GatitosMansion 187 — 8y

Here, there's a few little tweaks to the code.

while true do
    Part = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace)
    Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()
    Part.Material = "SmoothPlastic"
    Part.Position = Vector3.new(0, 128, 0)
    Part.BottomSurface = "Smooth"
    Part.TopSurface = "Smooth"
    function onTouched(hit)
        if hit:IsA("BasePart") and (Part.Anchored or hit.Name == "Baseplate") then -- Check if the hit is a part, and then check if the part is already anchored (to stack), or if the hit name is baseplate (to properly establish the beginning)
            Part.Anchored = true
        end
    end
    Part.Touched:connect(onTouched)
    wait(0.5)
end

You have in the function onTouched part when it hits another object with the classname "Part", it will anchor. In order to fix this, you need to do this:

function onTouched(hit)
if hit.Name == "PartName" then
Part.Anchored = true
end

What I did was I changed it so the script will check for the name of the object that hit it instead of the classname being "Part". Hope this helped! :)

So just rename the part that will make it anchored whatever you want and it should work. :) ragingskull182 67 — 8y

Please be sure you are aware of the situation before posting an answer. You lack a proper end to the if statement/function, and you just took my comment on the question and made it into an answer. shayner32 478 — 8y
