How do you detect when any part with a specific name within a folder is hit?
I'm trying to detect when any part named "SignalSensor" within the folder is hit and then change a value that is kept inside the parent of the SignalSensor part.
I thought maybe adding the sensors to a table but I've hit a dead end with what to do next. Thanks
sensors = {}
local desc = script.Parent:GetDescendants()
for index, desc in pairs(desc) do
if desc.Name == "SignalSensor" then
table.insert(sensors, desc)
warn("Signal Added To Table")
print(sensors)
end
end
The goal is to detect which sensor is hit and then do something similar to this
hitSensor.Parent.SignalValues.TrainInBlock.Value = true

What do you mean by "Hit"? Like touched? If so, just use the .Touched event qChaos 86 — 4y

Yes I do mean touched. How would I use Touched with multiple parts? Would I use the table name or something? kieranhendy 28 — 4y

I'm assuming you already know the parts' folder, so here we go.
local folder = workspace.SignalSensors --change this to the **Parent** of the sensors
--.Touched function for the Sensor
touched(sensor)
sensor.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
--change the value in here.
end)
end
--Indexing through the folder, finding SignalSensors and assigning them the function.
for i,v in next, folder:GetChildren() do
if v.Name == "SignalSensor" then
touched(v)
end
end

the problem is that within the folder there is groups with other parts - the sensors are grouped to the specific signal that they are detecting for kieranhendy 28 — 4y
