[Solved] How do I get touchEnded to fire at the right time?
I have this bit of code inside of a script parented to a part.
Basically, when the part is touched, I want it to clone. When it's done being touched, I want it to be deleted. I can't seem to get the touchEnded event to fire when the touch is actually over though. Its firing right when the player stands on it, instead of after the player is done touching it.
Any ideas? ```lua
OriginalPart = workspace:WaitForChild("redJoin")
redJoin = script.Parent --A part
Cloned = false --Debounce
--Touched redJoin.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not Cloned then
Cloned = true
local newJoin = redJoin:Clone() --Clone
newJoin.Name = "redNewJoin"
newJoin.Position = script.Parent.Position + Vector3.new(4, 0, 0)
newJoin.Parent = workspace
end
end)
--Touch ended redJoin.TouchEnded:Connect(function(Hit)
if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and Cloned then
if script.Parent.Name == "redNewJoin" then
redJoin:Destroy() --If step off the part, destroy
end
end
end) ```
Appreciated :v:

As it has been mention before, TouchEnded is not reliable for humanoids. Both Touched and TouchEnded fire gazilions times for humanoids (insert print(hit) )to get the idea. So your part is destroyed soon after first TouchEnded fires (LeftHand for example). What I do is I check periodically distance (magnitude) between part and character after touch is initiated.
OriginalPart = workspace:WaitForChild("redJoin")
redJoin = script.Parent --A part
Cloned = false --Debounce
--Touched
redJoin.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not Cloned then
Cloned = true
local newJoin = redJoin:Clone() --Clone
newJoin.Name = "redNewJoin"
newJoin.Position = script.Parent.Position + Vector3.new(4, 0, 0)
newJoin.Parent = workspace
repeat
wait(1) -- adjust if necessary
local magnitude = (redJoin.Position - hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude
until magnitude > 2 --adjust if necessary
redJoin:Destroy()
end
end)

Your not deleting the clone. You are deleting the part itself. Also if you renamed the clone, the script.Parent's name would not change. You changed the name of the clone. This might be confusing to understand because I did not explain it that well, but I can provide a code that may work:
OriginalPart = workspace:WaitForChild(``"redJoin"``)
redJoin = script.Parent --A part
Cloned = false --Debounce
--Touched
redJoin.Touched:Connect(``function``(Hit)
if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(``"Humanoid"``) and not Cloned then
Cloned = true
local newJoin = redJoin:Clone() --Clone
newJoin.Name = "redNewJoin"
newJoin.Position = script.Parent.Position + Vector``3.``new(``4``, 0``, 0``)
newJoin.Parent = workspace
end
end``)
--Touch ended
redJoin.TouchEnded:Connect(``function``(Hit)
if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(``"Humanoid"``) and Cloned then
if workspace:FindFirstChild("redNewJoin")then
workspace.redNewJoin:Destroy() --If step off the part, destroy
cloned = false
end
end
end``)
