How would you make an on touch script only activate when a humanoid touches it (and not any part)?
Sorry for the spam.
I am making a vent that unanchors itself when it is touched, but the script automatically enables itself because it is touching the surrounding walls. Here's what I have so far:
fall = script.Parent
fall.Touched:Connect(function()
fall.Transparency = 0
fall.CanCollide = true
for _, object in pairs(fall.Parent:GetChildren()) do
object.Anchored = false
end
end)
How would you make it so that the union only unanchors when a player or humanoid touches it and not all parts? Hopefully that made sense.

If you want to check if the thing that touches it is any humanoid, you can use FindFirstChildOfClass to see if there is a Humanoid inside the parent of the thing that touched it:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
print("Touched by a part from a model with a humanoid inside!")
end
end)
However, if you only wanted to check if the thing that touched was a character of a player, you can use GetPlayerFromCharacter, which will return nil if there is no player that owns the model:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
local Plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
if Plr then
print("Touched by " .. Plr.Name)
end
end)
Hope this helps!

This isn't an answer, but I vaguely remember trying to make a button and putting Humanoid into a parenthesis. It made the button only work when stepped on by a humanoid. Beginner's luck, I guess. kofe_i 4 — 5y
