Can't detect touch

[sacred tusk]

Hello, i'm trying to make a heat seeking part by updating its cframe every frame with runservice.Heartbeat, im trying to check if it collides with another part, but it's not detecting it with .Touched, its detecting baseplate and the player, but not the normal part I made

[random blaze]

what script are you using

[drifting hatch]

** You are now Level 6! **

[random blaze]

you're probably using normal script cuz u use heartbeat

but if you are using local then remove heartbeat and replace it with renderstepped

also try to use datastore

if touched isn t working

[simple jacinth]

i don't understand

💀

[random blaze]

wut

im just an idiot

who tries to help people

[simple jacinth]

wdym

you not an idiot

[random blaze]

oh im not?

[simple jacinth]

you just trying to help brah

[random blaze]

yay

OH WAIT UR LVL 3

[sacred tusk]

I'm using a server script, as I said the part is working as it should, following the closest player, it detects touches with the baseplate and the player but not with the part I made myself

[random blaze]

where do you keep ur missle part

also pls share script

[sacred tusk]

How would I use datastore to detect parts touching?

[random blaze]

wait no i meant region3

cuz datastore only stores data

ur part needs to be 3D

[sacred tusk]

im trying to send the code as a code thing hold on

** You are now Level 5! **

[sacred tusk]

do you think im using a 7D Workspace?

[simple jacinth]

send it my dm

[random blaze]

me to

too

[simple jacinth]

im freaking it bro

[sacred tusk]

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local part = script.Parent

local speed = 0.1
local distances = {}

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    print("touched", hit.Name)
end)

runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    --find closest player
    
    local smallestDistance = math.huge
    local closestPlayer = nil
    
    for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local playerDistance = (player.Character.PrimaryPart.Position - script.Parent.Position).Magnitude
        distances[player] = playerDistance
    end
    for player, distance in distances do
        if distance < smallestDistance then
            smallestDistance = distance
            closestPlayer = player
        end
    end
    
    part.CFrame = CFrame.new(part.Position, closestPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0)
    part.CFrame *= CFrame.new(speed, 0, 0)
    speed *= 1.0002
end)

I changed some words that were apparently blocked

[random blaze]

syntax error

• inf yield

CHECK YOUR OUTPOST

[sacred tusk]

VRO

[simple jacinth]

bro what the fuck

[sacred tusk]

did you read what I need help with? 😭

[simple jacinth]

i havent even find the shit yet

[random blaze]

BRO

[sacred tusk]

the code is WORKING

it's just not detecting collissions with ONE PART

[random blaze]

but you don t like error

[sacred tusk]

no errors

0 errors

[simple jacinth]

ok imma try this on rblx studio rq

[sacred tusk]

most of the code working perfectly

the part is anchored

[random blaze]

smallestDistance = Distance

[sacred tusk]

and has cancollide on

[sacred tusk]

ill say this in the most respectful way possible, do you script on roblox?

[random blaze]

what did i even do

[sacred tusk]

that part isn't the problem

that part is working perfectly

[random blaze]

i never said it was the problem

that was a typo

[sacred tusk]

then why mention it 😭

[random blaze]

i starded copying from there

-__

[sacred tusk]

@simple jacinth get freaky on him

[random blaze]

WHAT DID I EVEN DO

YOU KNOW WHAT IM NOT HELPING YOU BRO

[sacred tusk]

alright alright sorry

prcaiteMaster9000

[random blaze]

oaky ):<

[simple jacinth]

okay wait

i think i know how this works

[sacred tusk]

enlighten us zark kun

[simple jacinth]

really?

for me its not even detecting the baseplate

it only detects the parts from the player

[random blaze]

use humanoidrootpart

[sacred tusk]

it was detecting the baseplate when I tried it

[random blaze]

the problem is at primary

do findfirstchild("HumanoidRootPart")

[sacred tusk]

that part is working as it should

everything inside heartbeat is working as it should

the problem is on in the touched function

[simple jacinth]

uh

so uh

we just ignore the red error on the console right

[random blaze]

ok? fairly simple to fix

just add the partname

that u want to detect specificly

[simple jacinth]

okay

so uh

i searched on roblox studio forum

it says

using cframe

is kind of unreliablel

for touch shits

diddyahh

[random blaze]

use the new roblox studio Ai

[simple jacinth]

instead use bodyvelocity

its gonna make the part movement much smoother

and i think its gonna be able to detect touches

[sacred tusk]

alright but one thing

[simple jacinth]

from anywhere

[random blaze]

lolololololol

[sacred tusk]

I did a little test just now

[simple jacinth]

yea yea

[sacred tusk]

unanchored the parts that I want it to collide with

[random blaze]

omagawd

[sacred tusk]

and it detected the touches but only when it touched the sides

[random blaze]

OMAGAWD

[sacred tusk]

not from the front

why is roblox studio this way

[random blaze]

BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST

[sacred tusk]

ok PrcaiteMaster9000

so, body velocity

and set the velocity to point to the closest player

thank you sir zark

[simple jacinth]

dont thank me

try it first

💀

bro i master in ui not these shit

ggez

or linearvelocity

dont really know about velocity doe

just search in the dev forum fr

learn the properties

[sacred tusk]

actually i thnk body velocity is deprecated

[simple jacinth]

yeah yeah

linear velocity prob

[sacred tusk]

I think the alternative is vector

thing

vectory velocity

[simple jacinth]

oh wait

[drifting hatch]

** You are now Level 5! **

[simple jacinth]

yeah

[sacred tusk]

or vector force

[simple jacinth]

sorry

shit

[sacred tusk]

linear velocity

maybe you should watch this to get a better understanding

[sacred tusk]

dw I've used them before

[simple jacinth]

alright -central cee

[sacred tusk]

I used bodyVelocity, it's working

who cares if its deprecated

[simple jacinth]

[sacred tusk]

thank you sir zark kun
