trying to get a nil value when using GetTouchingParts()?
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()end)
while true do
wait(1)
local part = script.Parent
local bounds = part:GetTouchingParts()
for _, p in next, bounds do
if p == nil then
print("nothing")
end
end
end
this script gets the parts that are inside it using GetTouchingParts() I was trying to get it to output nil when there is nothing touching but it wont throw an error or say nil when there is nothing inside it. this is a problem because I need to be able to do something else when a specific part/model that "was" touching is now gone. is there a way to make this as easy as using FindFirstChild() to get a nil value?(findfirstchild didnt work when I combined it btw)

delete the end) after connect(function() and put a ) at the last line ur not connecting the function right now
here is what i mean u should do
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
while true do
wait(1)
local part = script.Parent
local bounds = part:GetTouchingParts()
for _, p in next, bounds do
if p == nil then
print("nothing")
end
end
end)

to answer both comments within the last 6 hours, the script did not print anything when ran. and also:https://devforum.roblox.com/t/simple-trick-to-make-gettouchingparts-work-with-non-cancollide-parts/177450 this is why I have gettouchingparts set u pthe way it is as it will not work without it. mantorok4866 201 — 5y
