When cloning from replicated storage+parenting it to the workspace it isnt detected by touch script

[torpid reef]

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool.Handle
local hitbox = tool.Hitbox
local repstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local coal = repstorage.Coal
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local debounce = false

local hitboxTouchedConnection = nil

tool.Activated:Connect(function(on)
    if debounce then return end
    debounce = true
    hitbox.CanTouch = true

    if (hitboxTouchedConnection~=nil) then
        hitboxTouchedConnection:Disconnect()
    end

    hitboxTouchedConnection = hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        if hit.Name == "CoalOre" then
            print("MINE")
            local clone = coal:Clone(1)
            clone.Parent = player:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
            clone.Handle.CanTouch = true
            hitbox.CanTouch = false
            task.wait(1)
            debounce = false
        else
            return false;
        end
    end)

end)

^^ clone script

do i need to like repeatedly check for it or something?

Touched is only activated when something physically moves. Spawning it in won't activate the event

[torpid reef]

yeah its a tool

local part = script.Parent
local folder = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Generator")
local signal1 = folder.Powersignal1
local signal2 = folder.Powersignal2
local signal3 = folder.Powersignal3
local signal4 = folder.Powersignal4
local fire = part.Parent.Flame
local x = 0
local debounce = false

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print(hit)
    if hit.Parent.Name == "Coal" then
        hit.Parent:Destroy()
        part.Flame:Play()
        fire.FireParticles.Enabled = true
        fire.Transparency = 0.7
        x = x+1
        print(x)
        task.wait(2)
        part["Flames Loop"]:Play()
        fire.FireParticles.Rate = 15
        fire.SpotLight1.Enabled = true
        fire.SpotLight2.Enabled = true
        fire.embers.Enabled = true
        fire.Transparency = 0.3
        if x>=5 then
            print("x >= 5")
            signal1.Material = "Neon"
            signal2.Material = "Neon"
            signal3.Material = "Neon"
            signal4.Material = "Neon"
        elseif x>=4 then
            print("x >= 4")
            signal4.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
        elseif x>=3 then
            print("x >= 3")
            signal3.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
        elseif x>=2 then
            print("x >= 2")
            signal2.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
        elseif x>=1 then
            print("x >= 1")
            signal1.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Lime green")
        end
    end
end)

this is the touch detector script thing

[gritty lodge]

What do you mean "yeah its a tool"? Does it spawn in and fall?

[torpid reef]

the player equips it and puts it into the detector

then its detected

well it SHOULD BE detected but

it isnt

every other part works though

including if i just put the one in repstorage into workspace and equip it like that

here

[gritty lodge]

Watch the volume next time. Didn't appreciate my ear drums being ruptured.

Does the tool have CanTouch enabled?

[torpid reef]

mb

yeah it does

[gritty lodge]

and coal is the tool? Because the one you picked up seems to work, not the one currently in your inventory.

[torpid reef]

yea

[gritty lodge]

It looks like you only connect to the hitbox if you activate the tool (which means use the tool)

[torpid reef]

wdym

i didnt activate eithero

[gritty lodge]

The first script used tool.Activated. The second one uses part.Touched. So what is it?

[torpid reef]

first one is the one that clones it

second one is the one that detects it

it doesnt detect it when cloned from replicated storage

but when i copy paste the repstorage one and put it into workspace, THEN play it works

[gritty lodge]

So the first one is the pickaxe, the second one is the coal?

[torpid reef]

yes

[gritty lodge]

These kind of details are super important

[torpid reef]

mb i tried to explain thru the title and wouldve went more in detail but i was fetching the touch detect script

[gritty lodge]

Why did you give "1" to the :Clone function?

Is that Touched event firing at all? The one within the tool? Can you add a print to the top of the script to make sure it's running?

[sly trail]

client is cloning the coal on their end and its not replicated to the server

have the server do the cloning and stuff, keep things like resources out of replicated storage or exploiters can just give themselves 5 million coal

[gritty lodge]

Yeah I should have thought about that. My brain's fried. Good catch.

[torpid reef]

nah it was a test, it didnt change atn tho

[torpid reef]

oooh so just keep it tucked away in workspace or sum?

[torpid reef]

also how to i make it replicate to the server then?

[sly trail]

keep it in serverstorage, where the client cant access it

look up remote events and use them to ask the server if you can have a coal

then the server determines if they should have a coal or not and gives it to them

[torpid reef]

👍

brain gonna be fried but that's how I learnt up to now so
