Why won't this destroy when it hits a Part?

Asked by

This is for a fireball thing, I'm trying to have it to detect what it touches, but it always just says Creator_Touch, even after it hits the part it doesn't say Part_Touch. Please, anything helps

function PartHit(Hit)
    local CreatorPlayer = GetCreator()
    if not Hit or not Hit.Parent or not CreatorPlayer or HitDelay or Part.Velocity.Magnitude < 8 then
        return
    end
    local character = Hit.Parent
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if not humanoid or humanoid.Health == 0 then
        return
    end
-- This is the part I can't get to work
    if Hit.Parent == CreatorPlayer.Character then
        print('Creator_Touch')
    else
        if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and Hit.Parent ~= CreatorPlayer.Character then
            print('Player_Touch')
        elseif not Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
            print('Part_Touch')
            Part:Destroy()
        end
    end
-- The end of it
    local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
    if player and (CreatorPlayer == player or Functions.IsTeamMate(CreatorPlayer, player)) then
        return
    end
    HitDelay = true
    Functions.UntagHumanoid(humanoid)
    Functions.TagHumanoid(humanoid, CreatorPlayer)
    humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage.Value)
    for i, v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
        if v:IsA("BasePart") and v.Transparency < 1 then
            local Fire = FireSpread:Clone()
            Fire.Enabled = true
            local ParticleScriptCopy = ParticleScript:Clone()
            ParticleScriptCopy.Disabled = false
            ParticleScriptCopy.Parent = Fire
            Debris:AddItem(Fire, 3)
            Fire.Parent = v
        end
    end
    local PL = script.PointLight:Clone()
    PL.Color = PLColor
    PL.Parent = humanoid.Parent.Head
    Debris:AddItem(PL, 3)

    Part.Anchored = true
    Part.Transparency = 0

    for i, v in pairs(Part:GetChildren()) do
        if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") or v:IsA("Fire") or v:IsA("Smoke") or v:IsA("Sparkles") or v:IsA("Light") then
            v.Enabled = false
        end
    end
    Debris:AddItem(Part, 1.5)
end

Part.Touched:connect(PartHit)

Am not sure whats happening exactly but, if you want to detect the ball hiting another player/part I would go about do this;

function PartHit(Hit)
local CreatorPlayer = GetCreator() --am guessing this gets the owner's character
local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
local done = false
for i=1,#players do
    if Hit.Parent == players[i].Character then
        if player[i].Character ~= CreatorPlayer then
        print("Player Touch")
        else
        print("Creator Touch")
        end
        done = true
    end
end
if done == false then
    print("Part Touched")
end

i like to refer to game.Players but that is just my preference. I am sure there are better ways of doing this but this is just one way. Hope that helped :)

also, in the future, giving more detail about what your making will help us help you sense we may be able to figure out more clever solutions.
