How to identify player is still touching a part despite lack of movement?
I created the following script:
01 | script.Parent.Transparency = 1 |
02 | script.Parent.CanCollide = true |
03 |
04 | function touch(plr) |
05 | print("touched") |
06 | wait(0.5) |
07 | script.Parent.CanCollide = false |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(touch) |
I want to revert the CanCollide property for the parent back to true, but only when the player is no longer touching the parent. How can I do this? Apparently, the game identifies the player as no longer touching when they are not moving (even though they are still touching).
I tried adding the TouchEnded event, and all it does is infinitely switch the CanCollide property between true and false at a fast pace.

Use a boolean value. When the part is being touched, set the boolean to true, and when the part has left collision with the player then set it to false. T0XN 276 — 6y

Yeah, that kind of stuff annoys me too. A way to get around this is to check in a radius if something is nearby.
1 | local VectorA = Vector3.new(2, 6, 3) |
2 | local VectorB = Vector3.new(3, 7, 4) |
3 |
4 | local Distance = (VectorA - VectorB).magnitude |
5 | -- From here you can detect if the distance meets certain requirements |
6 |
7 | if Distance < 5 then |
8 | -- do stuff |
9 | end |
