Detect where a tool collides with a part during animation

[lilac glade]

I am working on a breakable system and I wanted particles when the tool collides with the breakable, but I've come to a roadblock with finding out where to put the particle emitter

If it is even possible, I would like for the hitPart particle emitter to be spawned in at the location of the tool colliding with the breakable.

So far, I've been unable to find a way to detect the collision

I tried connecting the touched event to a function but it would be generally unreliable and would fire even when just touching the breakable normally. Additionally, when trying to use a boolean it would clash with other tools in a weird way, breaking it.

Below is everything in the script I thought was relevant / needed. If anything else is needed or if I need to clarify something, let me know. This is my first time posting so I'm not very experienced lol.

what are you tying to do?, like particle will fire on the spot of where it collides?

To check collistion you could do sparil querying or raycast, usually should work

and workPlayer, ehhh.. whats the reason for it

like workPlayer, i migth missed something but how do the isClose access ouside of its scoope, and look just look goofy, like it does nothing, like why would you loop thru the workspace and look for "humanoidroorpart"
