Why does it not print "No CBP" when a part is touched?
I'm trying to do something with .Touched, where if there is an object called "CBP" it prints "CBP", but if there isn't an object with "CBP" it prints "No CBP". When I try it out in game it doesnt work. The damage portion works, but not the printing portion.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") then
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
if hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("CBP") == false then
print("No CBP")
elseif hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("CBP") == true then
print("CBP")
end
end
end)

The issue here is that you are checking to see if an instance is true or false.
The :FindFirstChild() method returns an instance. You can't check to see if an instance is true or false. You can, however, check to see if the object exists by doing this check:
local CBP = hit.Parent.HumanoidRootParent:FindFirstChild("CBP")
if CBP then -- if it exists
print("CBP")
else -- does not exist
print("No CBP")
end
In the above script, I am not checking whether it is trueor false, but rather if it exists or is nil. If the FindFirstChild() method does not find an object, it returns nil, not false.
Hope this helps.
