How do I check if parts in table were touched?
from what I understand, while loops can be very demanding to a player's gameplay, slowing the game down. So while I was making this I could find no other way of doing this without a while loop. Is there a better way to check if a part in a table has been touched?
My attempt:
local model = game:GetService("Workspace").Model
local table = {}
for i,v in pairs (model:GetChildren()) do -- This part is different, It's for the sake of the site
table.insert(table,#table+1,v)
end
for i,v in pairs(table) do
v.Touched:Connect(function()
print("Touched")
end)
end

You can actually use a single table [as called by :GetChildren()] to run this function
local model = workspace:WaitForChild("Model")
local function Fired()
print("Touched")
end
for _, parts in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
parts.Touched:Connect(Fired)
end
If you use a local event, then by using the for loop to check the array, anytime an iterated part is touched, this pre-defined function will fire.
