CollisionGroup not Collisioning

[teal token]

I am relatively new to roblox scripting and I decided to make a tower defense to start off

I am having a collision problem with the enemies, I have set their CollisionGroup to 'Enemies' which is set so that they don't collide with towers, other enemies and players

However it does not seem to be working as it still collides with players, what did i do wrong?

I did set up the players collisiongroup already too as well as for the units/towers

if enemies don't collide with anything, how will they collide with the world? won't they just fall out of the map?

No they do collide with default

getdescendants instead of getchildren for starters, and i'd suggest connect to childadded so parts that exist later will be collected into the group

[stray condor]

players do not

[stray condor]

i usually use that view its easier to read ;p

Fair enough

[stray condor]

also you're doing player:getchildren() on the player instance. the player is not a character in the world. that's probably part of the problem.

ohh right

it helps to always check things in the explorer while the game is running. i know it is time consuming to do, but you'll get stuck far less often if you do it.

e.g. parts not collisioning despite groups being set? well first obvious question is, do the parts actually have their correct collision groups? never assume your code is working as you intended, because if it were, you wouldn't be having problems

proof is the only way to be sure.

This fixed it!

I was actually doing that but unfortunately looking at the enemies and didnt notice my players model in the workspace

[stray condor]

that can happen too. it is universal among programming that every problem you encounter is either dumb, stupid, or both

New coding environment makes that worse lol
