Title YouTube Video Code:

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
print(hit.Name)
if hit.Name=="SynthPlay" then
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
end
end)

Are you trying to get the player who touched it? PyccknnXakep 1225 — 7y

I've seen the video. You've mispelled it.

You have the object in your workspace named "SnythPlay" instead of "SynthPlay". Be aware of spellings next time as it puts heavy problem/errors.

Try using this format from now on.

function onTouched(part)
    if part.Parent ~= nil then
        local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild(" Whatever object in workspace you want the script to detect on touch.")
         if h~=nil then
--Do stuff

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Im trying to get whatever part it touches. This code is not a very good format. Void_Frost 571 — 7y

@Void_Frost How is your script deem more efficient if your script doesn't even work? JoeRaptor 72 — 7y

Joe, my script is easier, your script doesn't detect what is touched... only if it is touched. Void_Frost 571 — 7y

@Void_Frost Then you have to mention that in your question. You expect the script to detect a part named "SynthPlay" to touch the object. That is what your script says. JoeRaptor 72 — 7y

No, i say whenever it is touched, IF it is SnythPlay, it will play a sound Void_Frost 571 — 7y

That depends on how many ends you would need. @PersonaCole JoeRaptor 72 — 7y

This should work for you:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) 
    print(hit)
    if hit.Name == "d" then
        print("It works!")
    end
    end)
