Cooking System

[sudden sphinx]

How do you make a cooking system? I want it so that when one ingredient touches another ingredient, it turns into the food. But Touched events are bad and I think it would be bad to constantly check Region3 or GetPartsInPart every frame.

[tawdry kiln]

use touched events

[sudden sphinx]

what if I don't want to?

[tawdry kiln]

then you'll probably need to constantly check Region3 or GetPartsInPart every frame

[sudden sphinx]

what if I don't want to do that too?

[tawdry kiln]

idk, check distance every frame? rip cooking system?

there's nothing wrong with touched events, you probably just dont know how to use it properly

[sudden sphinx]

I don't want to check distance too

[sudden sphinx]

it's unreliable

skill issue

You need to do something to make it happen. Touch events are the easiest to use

[tawdry kiln]

touch events are equivalent to physics collisions, you just need to deal with it properly

e.g the event will rapidfire if you have an anchored part moving

probably won't fire at all if you're only changing the size (since physics) - i haven't tested this in quite a while

though if i recall if you're changing size it will rapidfire, it's been a while

[astral peak]

no its impossible

tell roblox to make it work then

[tawdry kiln]

i dont think the event fires if you connect to touch after the entity has been put in workspace, not sure about if you connect before then parent you'd have to check that

etc

if it doesnt fire then just do a spatial query alongside it

@sudden sphinx touched as in like a tool or do u got a drag system?

[tawdry kiln]

etc etc, skill issue basically. just handle the edge cases and you're good

[sudden sphinx]

I got a drag system

[astral peak]

yea then problem solved
