#

this should actually error

#

unless that's an npc

#

ofc

#

if Mary.TouchDetector.Touched then
touched is an event

#

this is a very odd way to code this, what's your setup?

glossy sigil Oct 20, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

I'm really bad at scripting- I don't know really about it

studio ** You are now Level 2! ** studio

glossy sigil Oct 20, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

ornate hawk `if Mary.TouchDetector.Touched then` touched is an event

Oh

ornate hawk Oct 20, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

glossy sigil Oh

I mean, it will evaluate to true, so unless that's not an npc

glossy sigil Oct 20, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

Im trying make when player touches the part inside her she plays animation

ornate hawk Oct 20, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

it should work

#

AH

#

yeah

#

that will totally not work

#

let's go over why first

#

local Mary = game.Workspace.Mary

if Mary.TouchDetector.Touched then
Mary.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Mary.Stand):Play()

if Mary.Stand.IsPlaying == true then 
    Mary.Stand.Looped = true
end
end

#

that code will run exactly once

#

inmediately after you clicked the run button

#

the script then will proceed to commit suicide

#

literally

#

if you want the script to not die

#

you have to connect to the event!

glossy sigil Oct 20, 2022, 10:53 PM

#

How i do that-

ornate hawk Oct 20, 2022, 10:53 PM

#

local TouchDetector = workspace.TouchDetector
TouchDetector.Touched:Connect(function(touchedPart)
  
end)

#

second thing

#

local Mary = game.Workspace.Mary

#

remember I said that the script will run inmediately?

glossy sigil Oct 20, 2022, 10:54 PM

#

ornate hawk ```lua local TouchDetector = workspace.TouchDetector TouchDetector.Touched:Conne...

oh

ornate hawk Oct 20, 2022, 10:54 PM

#

#

glossy sigil Oct 20, 2022, 10:54 PM

#

glossy sigil Oct 20, 2022, 10:59 PM

#

ornate hawk Oct 20, 2022, 11:00 PM

#

yeah but the code will trigger for absolutely antything that touches mary

#

including the baseplate

#

we are not discriminating, basically

#

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TouchDetector = workspace.TouchDetector
local Mary = script.Parent

TouchDetector.Touched:Connect(function(touchedPart)
    local Character = touchedPart.Parent
    if not Character then return end

    local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
    if not Player then return end
    
    Mary.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Mary.Stand):Play()
end)
