i cant figure out why my Enemy model is touchable in my td game

[lean obsidian]

i dont want to be able to walk into it but i want the towers to be able to shoot it and it take dmg and die

[old shale]

I think u can use humanoidrootpart but I'm not rlly sure

[lean obsidian]

i tried that i asked gpt and they said the same thing even collision group thing didnt work

how do other tower defense games do it?

[true abyss]

they dont use gpt

[old shale]

There is a tut on YouTube that is like 3 years ago

It has like more than 10 episodes I think

U can check it out

[old shale]

It has millions of views btw

How did CollisionGroups not work?

Did you make a new CollisionGroup and assign the collidable parts in the enemies to it? You also have to edit what the group can collide with in the CollisionGroup editor

[lean obsidian]

Jerk bag I asked a simple question to it now your blocked

[lean obsidian]

Ya not sure I need some help cuz I don't get why I even made it's root not have collision and I still walked into it

[robust obsidian]

Okay, so enemies can be touched by players, yes? Like they can push them off course?

[lean obsidian]

ya i dont have a system made or anything im new to this and new to scripting and idk if this is a studio bug but for some reason some times when i hit play and try to walk something stops me for a sec\

this is what i got so far

the pathfinding works

[robust obsidian]

Are you using MoveTo to move the enemies?

[lean obsidian]

what you mean for me the player?

[robust obsidian]

Do you have enemies implemented at all? I'm a bit confused.

Do you have two separate issues? The player stopping & being able to collide with enemies?

[lean obsidian]

just this guy for testing idk how to do the thing with making them spawn in like that im still learning

[robust obsidian]

Okay, so that enemy, it moves along like normal.

But the issue being the player can touch it.

Is that right?

[lean obsidian]

ya and i can move it off the course which i dont want

should this be called Enemy or is this right?

[robust obsidian]

Does the enemy have that collision group? Any part on the enemy that can collide has that?

[lean obsidian]

it does and it still dont work

[tidal steeple]

** You are now Level 7! **

[lean obsidian]

it is not my model too idk if that matters

just using for testing

[robust obsidian]

Can you show me the fact that you set the collision groups by taking a screenshot of the enemy's CollisionGroup properties on the root part?

[lean obsidian]

i had all these on too btw im trying stuff out

[robust obsidian]

What about the player? They need the collision group too. That you may have to set in a script when the game starts

[lean obsidian]

oh wheres that at? that might be the issue

[robust obsidian]

Well the player's PrimaryPart is the only thing that can collide. So you have to place a script that, when players are added, sets their PrimaryPart's collision group to "Player"

[lean obsidian]

is this the primary part?

or do i have to add it?

[robust obsidian]

It happens when the player joins.

I think I made a little mistake, so let me clarify:
the Players service has a PlayerAdded event that fires whenever a player joins. Each player has a CharacterAdded event that fires whenever a player's character is spawned in.

If you were to connect to new player's CharacterAdded event, you could set their PrimaryPart's CollisionGroup

The player's characters need to spawn in, so you can't do it in Studio. You'd have to make a server script for this.

[lean obsidian]

fudge ok ty for letting me know

[true abyss]

oh noes
