I am making a game where a certain event happens when a certain player touches another player, but to do this I will have to have the 'touch' event. I tried running this (the value changes from another script) but it does not work.
plr = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values.current_plr.Value
game.ReplicatedStorage.Values.current_plr.Changed:Connect(function()
plr = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values.current_plr.Value
end)
game.Workspace[plr].Torso.Touched:Connect(function(p)
print("plr was touched")
end)
It's not working because an event does not reconnect it just connects to the original object, in this instance the first [plr].Torso. So to do something closer to what you want to do you can try:
local plr = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values.current_plr.Value
local connection
game.ReplicatedStorage.Values.current_plr.Changed:Connect(function()
plr = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values.current_plr.Value
if connection ~= nil then
connection:disconnect() --This if statement is done to remove the previous connection
end --Otherwise we would have the potential to leak connected instances.
connection = game.Workspace[plr].Torso.Touched:connect(function(p)
print("plr was touched") --Set up the new touch connection
end)
end)
Basically, you just have to nest them and not forget to disconnect previous connections. Hope that helped if you have questions feel free to post back!
