Ok not so long ago (2 hours) i was asking on how to detect anchored parts touching a part (which i got with workspace:GetPartsInPart) but now for some reason the for loop im using does some freaky stuff (more info in comment)
#Freaky detection

ok so this explosion module makes an explosion
when a player/character touches this explosion it does a buncha stuff
but for whatever reason, it seems to be applying these effects back to back to back
like a character gets hit, gets knocked back and ragdolled, gets back up, and instantly gets hit again despite far from being close to the explosion (in fact the explosion is gone by then)
i suspect it does this for every part it hits so i added hit = nil as a test but it did absolutely nothing

explosion
circle thingy that the script makes
i'll take another ss of that part
dawn shadow
did you just make a custom explosion because you didn't like the one roblox had?
bleak merlin
yeah lmao
also its cool and i didnt know how to change the default roblox explosion's icon
here is the output
a means every time it hits
the first hit prints a buncha stuff aka every part it hits
but after that it does this weird thing (each of these a's have a delay between them, that being i frames.)
dawn shadow
Just make a part for a hitbox around the explosion so you only have to check the parts once
uneven flicker
should work on that nesting 
bleak merlin
im never organising my code
bleak merlin
Just make a part for a hitbox around the explosion so you only have to check the...
how does having a seperate hitbox help?
dawn shadow
how does having a seperate hitbox help?
so you don't have to check 10 times...
dawn shadow

no shit
bleak merlin
so you don't have to check 10 times...
i can make just make it check when the boom is at its biggest
that isnt the main concern tho
dawn shadow
that isnt the main concern tho
yes it is
your being hit back cuz of your shitty looping
dawn shadow
should work on that nesting <:hehe:751935580253978704>
and what he said
if you only once, use a hit box
and if you do it at it's peak
bleak merlin
ok im gonna try only checking once
dawn shadow
you could be hit by it and it won't do anything until it's at it's peak
bleak merlin
still does it
i made it so that it only checks after the boom hit its biggest
and right before it gets destroyed
dawn shadow
bro im done @plain vector @uneven flicker your turn
bleak merlin
💀
i also have a hitboxes script which uses the same thing but only checks once so its not because of "my shitty loopings"
dawn shadow
you didn't even have to use a for loop in the first place bro
bleak merlin
for?
dawn shadow
I was gonna ping the neurodivergent one named moontune but couldn't find the name in pings
uneven flicker
would need to see the whole function ;o
that and i don't really get what the issue is?
uneven flicker
show the whole function
bleak merlin
how do i put it in lua format again
uneven flicker
uneven flicker
i can barely read that but the task.wait explains the delay for a start
plz put it in text
i aint reading that blurry ahh
bleak merlin
it exceeded the word limit

boom.Size = (Size/5)*i
boom.Transparency += 0.1
local Params = OverlapParams.new()
coroutine.wrap(function()
for _, hit in pairs(game.Workspace:GetPartsInPart(boom,Params)) do
print(hit)
if hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local iframes = hit.Parent.iframes
if iframes.Value == false then
print("a")
iframes.Value = true

hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = false

end
end
table.insert(db,hit.Parent)
kb.Start(hit.Parent, (hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position - boom.Position).Unit * Vector3.new(Pressure.X, Pressure.Y, Pressure.Z))
if ragdolldur then
ragdoll.Start(hit.Parent)
task.wait(ragdolldur)
ragdoll.Stop(hit.Parent)
iframes.Value = false
end
table.remove(db,table.find(db, hit.Parent))
end
hit = nil
end
end
end)()
task.wait(0.02)
end
boom:Destroy()
thats the for loop for the explosion
uneven flicker
bruh
bleak merlin
the rest of the function is basically making the explosion bigger
oh wait the rest is the function making the explosion
uneven flicker
whole function
bleak merlin
local boom = Instance.new("Part")
boom.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
boom.Position = Pos
boom.Color = Color
boom.Parent = game.Workspace
boom.Anchored = true
boom.CanCollide = false```thats the stuf fbefore it
uneven flicker
please just paste the whole function at once
if its too long it'll prompt you upload as text, just do that
bleak merlin
i tried and i just got "your message could not be delivered"
no prompting for some text file or whatever
uneven flicker
what value are you giving to ragdolldur?
uneven flicker
no prompting for some text file or whatever
bleak merlin
for the video its 2
uneven flicker
what is the size
bleak merlin
15 radius
uneven flicker
for the video its 2
the delay is coming from task.wait(ragdolldur)
uneven flicker
15 radius
the hitting multiple times is coming from for _, hit in pairs(game.Workspace:GetPartsInPart(boom,Params)) do picking up more than 1 of the character's parts
paired with the 2 second delay between each hit, that's where the results seen in your video are coming from.
bleak merlin
ah
naive oreBOT
** You are now Level 10! **
uneven flicker
and based on the context this looks like where the force is coming from kb.Start(hit.Parent, (hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position - boom.Position).Unit * Vector3.new(Pressure.X, Pressure.Y, Pressure.Z))
though im not sure what kb is
bleak merlin
not quite sure how to make it so that it only hits the player once but can also hit everyone in it
uneven flicker
```for i = 1,10 do
boom.Size = (Size/5)*i
boom.Transparency +=...
coroutine.wrap(function() end)() does literally nothing. get rid of that and apologize for blindly copying it from chatgpt.
bleak merlin
wouldnt want it to only do it for hrp
uneven flicker
lol nah idc but it does do literally nothing, get rid of it.
bleak merlin
was afraid of abit of delay but ok
uneven flicker
bro im done <@556659562644766720> <@266068916634255363> your turn
you're welcome
dawn shadow
you're welcome
did you guys fix it
bleak merlin
perforate didnt come
dawn shadow
I just got too many things to deal with and this was not top priority
uneven flicker
did you guys fix it
ye he doesn't filter already-hit, and there's a 2 second task.wait() in the loop
dawn shadow
perforate didnt come
I did that as in one or the other
dawn shadow
ye he doesn't filter already-hit, and there's a 2 second task.wait() in the loop
wow
nice ig
well gl @bleak merlin
bleak merlin
thx 👍
