How to identify player is still touching a part despite lack of movement?

Asked 330 views1 answers

I created the following script:

script.Parent.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.CanCollide = true

function touch(plr)
	print("touched")
	wait(0.5)
	script.Parent.CanCollide = false
end

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.

Yeah, that kind of stuff annoys me too. A way to get around this is to check in a radius if something is nearby.

local VectorA = Vector3.new(2, 6, 3)
local VectorB = Vector3.new(3, 7, 4)

local Distance = (VectorA - VectorB).magnitude
-- From here you can detect if the distance meets certain requirements

if Distance < 5 then
	-- do stuff
end
