Do something when the part's name is 'gold'?
local gold = workspace:WaitForChild('gold')
gold.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
print('hi')
end
end)
i need help making it so if any part named 'gold' get touched, it prints hi and not just that one part, which is what its doing.

you can use a generic for loop which literates through a table, in which :GetChildren() returns.
local gold = workspace:GetChildren() -- returns a table or a array
for _,v in pairs(gold) do -- v is the value its currently looping over
local lower = string.lower(v.Name)
if lower == "gold" then -- checks if the name is "gold"
v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
print("hi")
end
end)
end
end

Just as a safety measure, I would lower the string first. green271 635 — 5y
