Why doesn't my script run when a player is touching the part?
I want this script to run as long a player is touching it. Why doesn't it run at all?
1 | repeat |
2 | script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white") |
3 | wait(1) |
4 | script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black") |
5 | wait(1) |
6 | until script.Parent.TouchEnded |

cant you do a touched event and a touchended event? theking48989987 2147 — 6y

Think of it like this, if you have a base plate then the part is calling Touched and Touch Ended event multiple times. Also you need to define the player. RoJiyn 12 — 6y

If I'm doing if game.Workspace.Part.Touched Can I still find the part that touched it? Jexpler 63 — 6y

TouchEnded cannot be used like this, it's an event. INOOBE_YT 387 — 6y

TouchEnded is an event, not a bool value. You can make it a bool value like this:
01 | local partTouching = nil --The current part touching touch part. |
02 | local touchPart = script.Parent --The brick to be used with this script. |
03 |
04 | touchPart.Touched:connect(function(part) |
05 | partTouching = part --Set the variable to the current touching part. |
06 | repeat |
07 | script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Institutional white") |
08 | wait(1) |
09 | script.Parent.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really black") |
10 | wait(1) |
11 | until not partTouching |
12 | end) |
13 | touchPart.TouchEnded:connect(function(part) --When the touch stops, this event is emitted. |
14 | if part == partTouching then |
15 | partTouching = nil --This part is no longer touching. |
16 | end |
17 | end) |
