Need help with touched function, how do I fix the bugs?
script.Parent.CanCollide = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
script.Parent.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.Parent.PushedStandButton.Transparency = 0
wait(0.1)
end)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
script.Parent.Transparency = 0
script.Parent.Parent.PushedStandButton.Transparency = 1
wait(0.1)
end)
The thing I try to do is to make a platform that when you touch it, it gets transparent and when you do not touch it anymore the platform is visible again.
The script works kind of, it is just that the script is buggy when you touch the platform, when you move around on it changes from transparent to visible all the time.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried a lot of things but nothing has worked for me.
Thanks, Xsodar

there are two problems with this
one, you're not checking whether it's a player that's touching the platform or just a random object
to fix that you need to add an if statement to check if the thing that touched the platform was a player
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
-- code goes here
end
end)
two, since the player's legs are constantly moving up and down, the Touched and TouchEnded events are constantly firing
there's two ways i can think of to get past that, but for simplicity's sake i'm going to share the easier of the two
you can weld an uncollidable box that covers the player's body to the player's HumanoidRootPart, and only change the transparency if the uncollidable box triggered the Touched or TouchEnded event
the other method i thought of was using raycasting, which is a bit less hacky, but that's just. a whole other can of worms
Well the reason is that anything can activate the script, not just players. That may be the reason of the lag. You could add an if then statement to fix this.
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
