First off, I'm new to lua and doing my best so please be gentle, secondly I always search around before asking so I apologise in advance if I've missed an obvious solution elsewhere on the site/internet!
I have a section of a game I'm building that spawns some boulders at the top of a slope and lets gravity take it from there, setting them to auto destroy on a timer is unreliable given that they can sometimes take longer to get to the bottom than at other times. I've put a part at the bottom which I will make transparent but want to run a script when any part named "boulder" makes contact with it to destroy the boulder (3 can make contact in quick succession at times...).
So far I have (again, I'm new, please withhold laughter!):
local boulder = workspace.boulder
local function boulder1(hit)
boulder:Destroy()
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(boulder1)
which works fine for the first one to make contact... how can I repeat the function on each and every hit?
Thanks for any help.

This runs every time something hits the part
Thanks, I actually understand that (the annotation helps!). I'm still having problems, i think it's line 3 as the boulders are spawned and exist in the workspace only...am I right in thinking that this looks for a child called "Boulder" in the parent of the script, in this case the boulder collision detection brick? Sorry again for my ignorance!
line 3 only detects if the part that hit the part with the script is named "Boulder", it doesn't detect anything that doesn't hit the part
ok great, I get it now... I'd misplaced a line further on in the full script and now everything works as intended. Thanks so much for your help
Final question, how do I mark an answer as THE answer?! Can't find a way to accept an answer lol
click "Accept Answer"
I expected as much but don't seem to have an 'accept answer' button anywhere lol, do I need 25 rep like for upvoting? [edit] never mind, logging out and in again allowed the popup to show :) Thanks
yes
