firing events when a part is touched

[tribal burrow]

basically, I have an event called "FindExitEvent" and I want it to be fired when a part is touched, because when it gets fired, it chsbgds the text of a dialogue gui. I've managed to make it fire whenever a proximity prompt is used, but can't seem to make it whenever a part is touched

this works

[warm vault]

Part.Touched:connect(function(Hit)
  if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
      Events.FindExitEvent:FireAllClients()
end
end

[tribal burrow]

do I put this inside a script thats inside the actual part itself?

[warm vault]

Altought you would need to add a check to check if its a player. otherwise if anything touches it it will fire the even

[warm vault]

Will it depends you can do both

[tribal burrow]

alright

[warm vault]

Added some checking to check who touched it has humanoid in it.

You can make it more safer if you REALLY want to make sure its a player touching it

[tribal burrow]

alr

ty

I'll lyk if it doesn't work

[warm vault]

alr

[tribal burrow]

btw, this was my old script (inside a local script)

[warm vault]

That works

[tribal burrow]

well

I touched the part and it didnt do anything

there wasn't any errors either

[warm vault]

try debugging it by printing

[tribal burrow]

how do I do that?

like else print ("fail")

?

[warm vault]

like this for example

Part.Touched:connect(function(Hit)
print("1")
  if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
print("2")
      Events.FindExitEvent:FireAllClients()
end
end

To check at what part it doesnt print

[tribal burrow]

k

okay I thinks its working now

lemme check one more time

ok yes its working!! thanks alot!!

@tribal burrow mark your thread as solved

[tribal burrow]

oh ye

done

[warm vault]

If you use fireallclients it will fire to everyone on the server

[tribal burrow]

oh its 1 player servers anyway

[warm vault]

Oh yeah no problem then

[tribal burrow]

yea

wait

@warm vault

I realised

I can walk over the part and fire it multiple times, how can I make it only work once?

[warm vault]

add a debounce

if you want a cooldown

or if you want a toggle, for ever (like one time use) then add a toggle with datastore

[tribal burrow]

yes. how do I do that?

lol I'm relatively new to scripting so sorry for the hassle and stuff

[warm vault]

Its okay

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ExampleToggleName = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ExampleToggleName") -- Change the name to whatever you want

Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
    local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
    if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local success, toggleValue = pcall(function()
            return ExampleToggleName:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
        end)

        if success and not toggleValue then
            ExampleToggleName:SetAsync(Player.UserId, true)
            Events.FindExitEvent:FireAllClients()
        end
    end
end)

[tribal burrow]

and this goes in the same script as the hit function right

[warm vault]

yes replace it.

[tribal burrow]

alrighty

[warm vault]

There are minor adjustments such as the Part but i think you already know how to fix it?

local Part = script.Parent

but you already know that

[tribal burrow]

yeyye

[mellow prawn]

** You are now Level 5! **

[tribal burrow]

I was typing that lol

there we go everything's defined

[warm vault]

why is there a data store in there

[warm vault]

.

[tribal burrow]

uhhh, its still playing multiple times

[warm vault]

Right i forgot to set the toggle to true

[tribal burrow]

oh lol

[warm vault]

alr i edited it

[tribal burrow]

okey

[warm vault]

here

wait

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local ExampleToggleName = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("ExampleToggleName") -- Change the name to whatever you want

Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
    local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
    if Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local success, toggleValue = pcall(function()
            return ExampleToggleName:GetAsync(Player.UserId)
        end)

        if success and not toggleValue then
            ExampleToggleName:SetAsync(Player.UserId, true)
            Events.FindExitEvent:FireAllClients()
        end
    end
end)

here

[tribal burrow]

alr, it works perfect, but in the output its saying "DataStore request was added to the queue. If request queue fills, further requests will be dropped. Try sending fewer requests" is that fine?

[warm vault]

For here you could add a debounce letme see what i can figure

bro you don’t need a data store for a debounce lol

Just use a basic debounce

[warm vault]

.

i meant a basic debounce

Ye idk why u would have a data store for a debounce at all

i dont?

Unless ur trying to save data unless the player goes offline

He wants it to be a one time use

[tribal burrow]

yea

[warm vault]

oh

[tribal burrow]

like you use it once and it never happens again

[warm vault]

I thought ur trying to set the data store to be the debounce timer

I was like wtf
