When touched instead of just adding one it crashes the game entirely.

[gentle owl]

I'm trying to make this code so when the Pickaxe touches the Wall it give one gem (or point to the value) and then it ends. But when I test it it crashes studio entirely....

Code:

    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player
    
    
    
    
    local gemstats = Instance.new("IntValue")
    gemstats.Name = "Gems"
    gemstats.Value = 1
    gemstats.Parent    = leaderstats
    
    
    while true do
        local Wall = game.Workspace.Part
        local diamondarmor = game.StarterPack:FindFirstChild("Pickaxe")
        Wall.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
            
            if diamondarmor then
                
                gemstats.Value = gemstats.Value + 1
                
                
                
            end
            
            
        end)
    end
end)```

wait()

task.wait()

Also .Touched already do a loop.

So remove your while true do loop, that's it

[gentle owl]

imma try it

[gentle owl]

It doesnt stop at 1

[rich haven]

Wdym?

[gentle owl]

when i use the pickaxe it goes to 4

[rancid willow]

** You are now Level 1! **

[rich haven]

Ye, you're using .Touched

Learn RayCast or Region3

[velvet perch]

Region3-based spatial-querying has been deprecated for several years

[rich haven]

:GetPartInBounds isn't Region3?

Cuz that's what I meant

[gentle owl]

?

[rich haven]

.Touched isn't really good for what you're doing

You can still use it by checking if it has been hit already

[gentle owl]

aww man

[rich haven]

local TouchCooldown = 1

local Touched = false
Part.Touched:Connect(function()
    if not Touched then
        Touched = true
        delay(TouchCooldown, function()
            Touched = false
        end)
    end
end)

[velvet perch]

No need to spawn a thread for this

[rich haven]

I don't get why you're talking but that is right

You can do this:

local TouchCooldown = 1

local Touched = false
Part.Touched:Connect(function()
    if not Touched then
        Touched = true
        wait(TouchCooldown)
        Touched = false
    end
end)

Add your

if diamondarmor then
    gemstats.Value = gemstats.Value + 1
end

after the wait.

[gentle owl]

does this make it so it touches it once?

like debounce?

[rich haven]

No, it's a cooldown, you can make it small

[gentle owl]

oh

[rich haven]

Anyways, for a Pickaxe, you should use another method

[gentle owl]

like what

[rich haven]

local Pickaxe = script.Parent
local Handle = Pickaxe:WaitForChild("Handle")

local Player = Pickaxe:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")

Pickaxe.Activated:Connect(function()
    local Parts = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(Handle.CFrame, Vector3.new(4, 4, 4))
    for _, Part in Parts do
        if Part:HasTag("Ore") then
            Player.leaderstats.gemstats.Value += 1
        end
    end
end)

This is a Script inside the Tool

[gentle owl]

you made this or its in the pickaxe already

[rich haven]

The script? I made it

[gentle owl]

oh ok

[rancid willow]

** You are now Level 2! **

[gentle owl]

oh i get it

[gentle owl]

thanks very helpful

do you know how to make the block (in this case wall) teleport after

i made it so that it could be destroyed but i dont know how to make it teleport somewhere else near

[rich haven]

You trying to make a mining game?

[gentle owl]

i guess

i just wanna test something out

[rich haven]

Mining games randomly generates the terrain with all the ores

[gentle owl]

oh no i dont wanna do that

[rich haven]

If you want to Teleport a part, you have to change it's CFrame/Position property

[gentle owl]

ive heard of cframe...

[rich haven]

You have to do it on server for all clients to see the change

[gentle owl]

so uhh

serverscriptservice

also when I dont have the tool equipped it still destroys a wall...

the wall

[rich haven]

With the old .Touched or the .Activated thing I made?

[gentle owl]

oh oops

lemme put that in

do i delete the script i made or

[rich haven]

You just remove the .Touched part of your script

Not the Leaderstats setup

[gentle owl]

oh

my script wasnt even in the pickaxe

[rich haven]

Your script that sets leaderstats needs to be in ServerScriptService

Only the hitbox thing is in the Tool

[gentle owl]

ok

    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player




    local gemstats = Instance.new("IntValue")
    gemstats.Name = "Gems"
    gemstats.Value = 1
    gemstats.Parent  = leaderstats```
For my leaderstats thing it says that expectd end to close function at line 1 got <eof>

[rich haven]

Ye

end)

[gentle owl]

oh yeah

the pickaxe code doesnt work

[rich haven]

:/

You copied it properly?

[gentle owl]

yeah

[rich haven]

You have a Handle in your tool?

[gentle owl]

yeah

[rich haven]

Weird

This perfectly works for me:

Also the VisualPart was just for the recording so you could see the Hitbox

Um

I know what could be the issue

Your part needs to have the "Ore" tag

[gentle owl]

ok

how do i get that..

[rich haven]

Look at the end of the video I sent earlier

I show it briefly

[gentle owl]

k

[rancid willow]

** You are now Level 3! **

[gentle owl]

it says that gemstats is not a valid member of Folder Players.MyName.leaderstats

[rich haven]

Ah yes it's Gems

I wasn't paying attention

[gentle owl]

?

[rich haven]

Replace gemstats with Gems

[gentle owl]

oh ok

Hey it works thanks!!

[rich haven]

Np

[gentle owl]

now to do the teleportation of the walls

[rich haven]

What do you want to do?

Teleport wall when Pickaxe touchs it?

[gentle owl]

yet

yeah

[rich haven]

Where should it teleports to?

[gentle owl]

20 blocks away from me

somewhere close

it has to do something with cframe right?

[rich haven]

Yes

[gentle owl]

math.random?

[rich haven]

local Range = {16, 20}
local Pickaxe = script.Parent
local Handle = Pickaxe:WaitForChild("Handle")

local Player = Pickaxe:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Player")

Pickaxe.Activated:Connect(function()
    local Parts = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(Handle.CFrame, Vector3.new(4, 4, 4))
    for _, Part in Parts do
        if Part:HasTag("Ore") then
            Player.leaderstats.Gems.Value += 1
            local CenterPos = Handle.CFrame.Position
            Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(
                    CenterPos.X + (math.random(Range[1], Range[2]) * (math.random(1, 2) == 1 and -1 or 1)),
                    CenterPos.Y + (math.random(Range[1], Range[2]) * (math.random(1, 2) == 1 and -1 or 1)),
                    CenterPos.Z + (math.random(Range[1], Range[2]) * (math.random(1, 2) == 1 and -1 or 1))
            ))
        end
    end
end)

The CFrame code is big, you probably can make it better, I just made something that should work

[gentle owl]

i put this in the wall ?

[rich haven]

No it is the Tool script

[gentle owl]

how does this change the wall's position?

[rich haven]

Part.CFrame

It changes the CFrame of the Part the hitbox touched

[gentle owl]

i dont see the wall anymore 😦

[rich haven]

It's maybe under the floor

[gentle owl]

it is lol

[rich haven]

Change the Y value

[gentle owl]

to 0?

[rich haven]

To the good height

Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(
    CenterPos.X + (math.random(Range[1], Range[2]) * (math.random(1, 2) == 1 and -1 or 1)),
    4,
    CenterPos.Z + (math.random(Range[1], Range[2]) * (math.random(1, 2) == 1 and -1 or 1))
))

Depends on your map

[gentle owl]

its just the baseplate for now
