Why is my script that's meant to print a message when a MeshPart touches it not working?
Hello, I've been working on this script for a few days now, but it's not working. This script is meant to print a message if a MeshPart is hitting the Part.
Here's a picture of when this is meant to happen: Here
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local h = hit
if (h ~= nil) then
if h:IsA("MeshPart") then
print(h.Name.."hit me!")
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("vals"):WaitForChild("Winner").Value = h.Name
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
end
end)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Why do you have parenthesis around the argument on line 3 sheepposu 561 — 5y

idk if Lua accepts that syntax, but you could be getting an error from it which would explain why it doesn't print anything sheepposu 561 — 5y

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:IsA("MeshPart") then
print(hit.Parent.Name.."hit me!") --If not working try use hit.Parent only
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("vals"):WaitForChild("Winner").Value = hit.Parent.Name --Here too
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
end)
I hope this will work

The WaitForChild can make an error like this. If the vals doesn't exists then the script waits until it appears inside the ReplicatedStorage. WoTrox 345 — 5y

Sooo, I solved this myself, because apparently if you turn Anchored on, it won't detect the part, even with CanCollide on!
