Touch Event on projectile only working on occasion?
I have a very simple touch event set up with a projectile fired by the player that kills the player it hits. Quite simply:
01 | p.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
02 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent ~= char then |
04 | local hum = hit.Parent.Humanoid |
The issue I'm having is - I'm afraid - rather ambiguous. The touch event only fires occasionally, peculiarly it seems to fire the first few times and only work rarely after that.
I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the touched event itself (I'm including it just in case I've overlooked something), and I'm inclined to believe it is relating to the use of linear interpolation to fluctuate the projectile's movement using multiple parts and an small offset.
Effectively the part's movement works like this:
01 | for i = 0, distance, step do |
04 | local offset = Vector3.new( |
05 | math.random(-offset, offset), |
06 | math.random(-offset, offset), |
07 | math.random(-offset, offset) |
10 | local to = from+-(from-to).unit*step+offset |
12 | local p = spell:Clone() |
14 | p.Size = Vector3.new(p.Size.x, p.Size.y, (from-to).magnitude) |
15 | p.CFrame = CFrame.new(from:Lerp(to, 0.5), to) |
17 | local p2 = innerSpell:Clone() |
19 | p2.Size = Vector3.new(p.Size.x, p.Size.y, (from-to).magnitude) |
20 | p2.CFrame = CFrame.new(from:Lerp(to, 0.5), to) |
22 | game.Debris:AddItem(p, 0.1) |
23 | game.Debris:AddItem(p2, 0.1) |
24 | game.Debris:AddItem(folder, 10) |
I appreciate the issue is, as I said, rather ambiguous, but it is so peculiar to me I really don't know what else I can say about it. If there's any more information you'd be interested in don't hesitate to ask.
Any suggestions or thoughts are appreciated.
