lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:23 PM

btw heres code with Mimical's suggestion:

local HEsHEre = {}

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local entity = ServerStorage.Entities.HEsHEre
function HEsHEre.Trigger(player)
    print("HE IS HERE")

    clonedEntity.Parent = workspace
    clonedEntity.Position = Vector3.new(
        math.random(0, 100),
        math.random(0, 100),
        math.random(0, 100)
    )
    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local humanoidRootPart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local function onTouched(clonedEntitiy)

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:26 PM

#

that just wont do anything ngl

#

I dont see you connecting the .touched event to anything

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:26 PM

#

lemme add print into onTouched

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:27 PM

#

iin the doc

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:27 PM

#

ok

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:27 PM

#

the functions are there for what to do on touch, but they are still just functions on their own

#

U need to connect the touched event to the function

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:28 PM

#

local HEsHEre = {}

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local entity = ServerStorage.Entities.HEsHEre

Btw heres what .touched does:
When you connect .touched to a base part, it'll activate on anything that touches that basepart.
So if you connect .touched to a random part, itll activate if any other part touches it, or player or anything (as long as it has cantouch on).
The parameter inside the touched function is the part that hit the basepart with the connected function. So if the player torso hit the basepart, itll be the playertorso.

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

then ill use different variable

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

If u want to check whether the part that touched the basepart is the player, you would do check the if hit.Parent has a humanoid. If it does, it means the player touched the basepart, if it doesnt, then it means another part touched the basepart

#

I would recommend adding some prints to the parameter for touched cause itll help you understand it much better (cause you can see what the hit part is)

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

um

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

yea

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

why unknown global

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

its supposed to match the parameter u give in the function

#

most people put "hit" as the param

#

u have clonedEntitiy or sum

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:34 PM

#

ye

#

i have cloned entitiy

#

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:34 PM

#

yea no not what im talking about

#

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:35 PM

#

TYPO

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:35 PM

#

doesnt matter lol

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:35 PM

#

i accidently put i

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:35 PM

#

shouldnt match the part u connected it to

#

will cause confusion

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:35 PM

#

ok lemme test

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:35 PM

#

u know how functions work right

#


local function test(hit)
print(hit)
end
test("hello")

#

stuff like that

#

parameters are inside the brackets

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:36 PM

#

drowsy rivet ```lua local function test(hit) print(hit) end test("hello") ```

wait

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:36 PM

#

waiting

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

is it like this?

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

no

#

the variable u put inside the onTouched brackets is a new one

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

but for some reason theres Touched existed

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

Its not supposed to match anything old

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:38 PM

#

idk lemme test it and see if anythings happen

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:38 PM

#

local function onTouched(hit)
print(hit)
end

clonedEntity.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

fast mesa Apr 5, 2025, 2:38 PM

#

Why do you have an if statement for touched

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:38 PM

#

making duplicate variable names can cause confusion for you and the script

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:39 PM

#

lemme make a duplicated variable different

#

name*

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:39 PM

#

drowsy rivet ```lua local function onTouched(hit) print(hit) end clonedEntity.Touched:Connec...

id honestly recommend just putting this in rq

#

and then test

#

then u can see what the touched event prints

#

from there u can more easily decide how to proceed

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:39 PM

#

changed it

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:40 PM

#

bro just removed capitalization

#

for your own sake id recommend naming it something different, cause it can cause you confusion in the future

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:40 PM

#

no, ill notice it

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:40 PM

#

just call it hit

#

cause it doesnt guarantee that that value is a cloned entity

fast mesa Apr 5, 2025, 2:40 PM

#

lavish lake no, ill notice it

No, I’ll make my life harder

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:41 PM

#

ok

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:41 PM

#

and inside the function just print(hit) and press play

#

so u can see what it prints

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:41 PM

#

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:41 PM

#

yea

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:41 PM

#

drowsy rivet and inside the function just print(hit) and press play

ok

fast mesa Apr 5, 2025, 2:41 PM

#

Minimal does
If part.touched == true then
Even work?

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:42 PM

#

Do parts have a .touched boolean property?

#

You can answer your question with that

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:42 PM

#

same error

can u send ss of the output so we can have colors

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:42 PM

#

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:43 PM

#

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
this part is causing the issue.

#

What is player?

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:43 PM

#

drowsy rivet What is player?

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:44 PM

#

nope

#

thats "Players"

#

not "player"

#

player is passed as a parameter in the function

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:44 PM

#

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:44 PM

#

Yea whats player

#

What is the value when the function is ran

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:44 PM

#

oh wait i think its the problem at line function HEsHEre.Trigger(player)

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

its the problem at line 15

#

due to player being nil likely

#

do u pass a player

#

when u run the function

fast mesa Apr 5, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

Show mimical the line where u call that function

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

but how am i gonna get the humanoid of the character because the character model is old roblox noob player

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

We're going step by step rn

#

How are you triggering the .Trigger function

#

where

#

show

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

print("EventManager script started.")
local EventsFolder = workspace:FindFirstChild("Events")

end

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:47 PM

#

Yea u dont pass any variable

#

in .Trigger

#

so thats why its nil

#

and why its breaking

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:47 PM

#

i dont think you noticed the TestModule variable present

#

local TestModule = require(eventsFolder:FindFirstChild("1_HEsHEre"))

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:47 PM

#

all i need to see is this

#

u dont pass an argument

#

while there is a parameter in the function inside the module

fast mesa Apr 5, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

Mich you need to put the player in the brackets

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

bro, it worked before

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

Print player inside the function

#

see what it says

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

when i tested without the player checking if it touched part

#

the entity cloned then put in workspace then teleported

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:49 PM

#

drowsy rivet Print player inside the function

.

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:50 PM

#

drowsy rivet Print player inside the function

which function?

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:50 PM

#

trigger

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:50 PM

#

in module script (where HEsHEre event is present) or event manager script?

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:50 PM

#

module

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:50 PM

#

drowsy rivet module

ok

#

this is what happened

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:52 PM

#

Just print it without any string or anything

#

print(player)

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:53 PM

#

ok

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:53 PM

#

its not gonna be a perm print, so its fine to not have a clear print

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:53 PM

#

it printed "nil"

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:54 PM

#

exactly

#

so you need to pass the player when u activate the function

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:54 PM

#

but how am i gonna get the humanoid of the player?

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:54 PM

#

What?

#

We are talking about passing the player when we trigger the function

#

we arent talking about getting the humanoid

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:55 PM

#

drowsy rivet so you need to pass the player when u activate the function

i dont know how to do that

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:55 PM

#

is event manager local or server

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:55 PM

#

lavish lake i dont know how to do that

Same way you pass any variable to function

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:55 PM

#

server

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:55 PM

#

okay

#

Wait so what are you even doing with the player then?

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:56 PM

#

the entity appear for everyone and when someone touches it, it'll trigger jumpscare screen in everyone's screen

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:56 PM

#

Okay

#

can u resend trigger function script

#

dont wanna scroll each time

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:56 PM

#

ok

#

local HEsHEre = {}

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local entity = ServerStorage.Entities.HEsHEre

    print("HE IS HERE")

        end
    end
    clonedEntity.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
    wait(40)
    clonedEntity:Destroy()
end
return HEsHEre

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:57 PM

#

okay cool u removed the parameter

#

yea so currently u dont need anything related to the humanoid

#

u connect a touched event to the part thats spawned

#

with that u want to check whether the player touched the part

#

ill tell u how to do that in a sec

#

but first

#

remove this

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:58 PM

#

um after i removed these lines, this happened

#

wait

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:58 PM

#

yea idk what u just did

#

but its supposed to be :Connect(onTouched)

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:59 PM

#

lemme switch that to clonedEntity

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:59 PM

#

no

#

no

#

u need to put the function name in the brackets

#

so :Connect(onTouched)

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 2:59 PM

#

okay it fixed

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 2:59 PM

#

cool

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:00 PM

#

okay whats next step

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:00 PM

#

now next step is to remove the if statement inside onTouched, cause the function only triggers when u touch the part so its irrelevant

#

After that i want you to add the following in the function:

print(hit)
print(hit.Parent)

#

and press play to see what it prints out

#

Im doing this so you can visualize better what exactly the hit variable is

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:01 PM

#

ok

#

bruh he spawned in the sky, lemme disable a teleport code temporarily

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:03 PM

#

U can move it if u go server side

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:03 PM

#

i disabled by doing this

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:03 PM

#

Just make sure its base position is reachable

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:04 PM

#

um what, it didnt print anything when i touched its hitbox

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:04 PM

#

whjere did u check

#

thge output

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:04 PM

#

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:04 PM

#

u dont need that if statement i said btw

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:04 PM

#

drowsy rivet thge output

in developer console, i mean the roblox studio one

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:05 PM

#

since the function only triggers if the part is touched

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:05 PM

#

(ignore that other infinite yeild warn)

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:05 PM

#

Can u send video

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:06 PM

#

ok lemme send video since i have nitro (lasts for 1 hour right now)

#

ok uploading

#

i need to eat so be right back and you can anylaze the video

#

heres the video

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:11 PM

#

What are the entities properties

#

Specifically canTouch

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:11 PM

#

canTouch is enabled

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:11 PM

#

okay

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:11 PM

#

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:12 PM

#

Btw quick tip: use debrisservice for this

#

Secondly can you change the onTouched function to this please?

local function onTouched(hit)
  print(hit)
  print(hit.Parent)
end

#

without the if statement

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:18 PM

#

ok im back

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:20 PM

drowsy rivet Secondly can you change the onTouched function to this please? ```lua local func...

alr it worked when i touched the entity's hitbox

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:20 PM

#

Alright cool

#

So now that you have those prints, what do you see?

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:21 PM

#

drowsy rivet So now that you have those prints, what do you see?

i see me next to the entity walking next to it with those spamming print

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:21 PM

#

Im talking specifically the prints

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:21 PM

#

and when i stop walking, the spam print stops

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:22 PM

Yea i am aware

#

but what exactly are they

#

Like what is "Left Leg"

#

like that

#

try to find it in the explorer

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:23 PM

#

its in old roblox noob character model

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:24 PM

#

michaelamgad what about this

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:24 PM

#

its my roblox username

#

or player name

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:24 PM

#

Yep

#

where is it

#

in explorer

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:25 PM

#

what the mainSCRIPT does is that it places everything below into its position where 2007 roblox engine works except for unused content

#

as you can see in the video, when i press start. everything gets replaced with old 2007 roblox engine

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:26 PM

#

Where is michaelamgad located

#

after pressing play

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:26 PM

#

including the erik.cassel model

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:27 PM

#

drowsy rivet Where is michaelamgad located

in workspace as the model

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:27 PM

#

Yea

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:27 PM

#

after pressing play, the model named "michaelamgad" appeared

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:27 PM

#

So based on that knowledge, how can you get the humanoid?

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:28 PM

#

in michaelamgad.humanoid

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:28 PM

#

Yea

#

Btw rq whats your goal again inside the .Touched function?

#

What are you trying to do?

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:30 PM

#

well i want the jumpscare screen to appear which is this for 1 second then disappears and the entity itself disappears

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:31 PM

#

Okay so with the .Touched event you have achieved the ability to run code when the entity is touched

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:31 PM

#

ye

#

ima code that to happen rn

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:31 PM

#

What you would want to do now, is check whether the part that touched the entity is the character (u can do this by checking for humanoid). After that you run the jumpscare on the character

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:32 PM

#

um it already activates when the player touches the entity's hitbox

#

without adding the check

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:32 PM

#

Yea but it currently would also activate if another random part happened to touch the entity

#

So you just need to add a check to make sure it was the character that touched the entity

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:41 PM

#

ok

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:43 PM

#

drowsy rivet So you just need to add a check to make sure it was the character that touched t...

is this correct check?

local function onTouched(hit)
        if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
            for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
                local jumpscareGUI = StarterGui.CreepyMessages.IAMWATCHINGYOU
                local jumpscareSound = SoundService.JUMPSCARE
                jumpscareGUI.Visible = true
                jumpscareSound.Playing = true
                wait(2.4)
                jumpscareGUI.Visible = false
                clonedEntity:Destroy()
            end
        end
    end

studio ** You are now Level 9! ** studio

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:44 PM

#

yes that checks it correctly

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:44 PM

#

ok

#

ima also add smth else

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:45 PM

#

Btw as you mightve seen in the prints, whenever the player hits the entity, it sent multiple prints for different limbs

#

This will make it so the .touchedevent can trigger multiple times

#

To combat this i would recommend either adding a debounce or disconnecting the function once the character hit it

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:47 PM

#

bro, the gui wont appear on my screen

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

Yea u are grabbing the gui from startergui

#

that doesnt do anything

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

wait

#

lemme switch to PlayerGui

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

when u press play the startergui gets replicated into the player inside the playersfolder

#

player.PlayerGui

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:50 PM

#

drowsy rivet player.PlayerGui

okay

#

here are the results of this HEsHEre event (uploading the video)

#

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

So it works now?

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

bro the entity's hitbox is 50 studs large

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

u can change that

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

its not supposed to trigger if the player touched its old hitbox which is 4 studs big

#

i mean

#

the HEsHEre part is 50 studs large

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

u can make an invisible hitbox for the actual hit and the entity itself can be bigger (with canTouch off)

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

oh wait i think 50 studs big is not big enough

#

lemme make it 75 studs big

#

and done

#

ok i think the event itself is done. Thank you for helping me @drowsy rivet

drowsy rivet Apr 5, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

Cool nws

lavish lake Apr 5, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

drowsy rivet Cool nws

it also worked with teleport function

#

after the entity teleported to random position, i ran to it then touched it then the jumpscare worked

#i have a quick question
