Spawn Model on Touch?
I'm trying to make a part spawn in a model from ServerStorage when touched. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, please excuse my ignorance.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
function SpawnModel()
model = game.ServerStorage.Model:clone()
model.Parent = game.Workspace
model:MoveTo(spawn.Position)
end
end)
Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind, I fiddled around and I eventually got it to work with this:
script.Parent.Touched:connect (function()
function SpawnModel()
model = game.ServerStorage.Model:Clone()
model.Parent = workspace
end
SpawnModel()
end)

This is because you've wrapped all of the code responsible for placing the model in workspace into the scope of a function, anything within a function will not run unless it's called, to call a function, you write the function handle with parentheses:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- Connect should be capitalized
if (Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)) then
function SpawnModel()
model = game.ServerStorage.Model:Clone() -- This too
model.Parent = workspace -- workspace can be referenced without game
model:MoveTo(spawn.Position)
end
SpawnModel()
end)
However, this approach isn't the best method of achieving your goal, another form with a functional approach should be used instead:
function onTouched() -- Content end script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
Hope this helped, if so, don't forget to accept and upvote

Thanks for your help, but that hasn't gotten it to work correctly either. I can get it to work with a click detector for some reason, but not on touch. GreatTurkeySandwich 2 — 4y

Well, I'm keen in fixing this issue since I've already tried, so please, tell me what you can figure out about what's not working Ziffixture 6913 — 4y
