When its in workspace, I toucb it and nun

#

This is in a local script bntw

#

And also, can touch Event fire on client?

i suggest you add print stamps so you can see at which point the code goes bust and then you can narrow down the problem

vagrant marsh local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService") local cd = false ...

if not part:IsDescendantOf(workspace) then return end

You're having it trigger setupPortal() on the part while it's still in replicated storage, it looks like. If this is the case, then the .Touched won't happen because of the above snippet

chilly wind ```lua if not part:IsDescendantOf(workspace) then return end ``` You're having i...

No this makes it only run if its a part of workspace.

#

Right?

#

Yeha it does

chilly wind Nov 13, 2025, 6:11 AM

#

Yes. But, since you're adding the tags to the parts inside of replicated storage, and then having it run the setupPortal(), then it will skip everything since they weren't in workspace when it ran.

Unless you're manually having tagged parts in workspace

I just realized I think thats an outdated one, I made some changes but it still won

'won't work

Apologies

both combined in one, just discord didn't let me send it in one message

chilly wind Nov 13, 2025, 6:15 AM

#

By the way, where is this local script located

#

Also, the "ShowPortal()" function isn't declared anywhere

#

#

It is very similaer

#

Apologies, genuinely

chilly wind Nov 13, 2025, 6:20 AM

#

Also, when you're testing this, are you adding a part to workspace and manually adding the tag to it before running the game?

vagrant marsh Nov 13, 2025, 6:20 AM

#

first part:

local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local cd = false
local GiveRebirths = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents"):WaitForChild("GiveRebirths")

for _,part in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RebirthPortals"):GetDescendants()) do
    if part:IsA("BasePart") then
        CollectionService:AddTag(part,"RebirthPortalTag")
    end
end

CollectionService:GetInstanceAddedSignal("RebirthPortalTag"):Connect(function(part)
    if not part:IsDescendantOf(workspace) then return end
    part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not cd then
            GiveRebirths:FireServer()
            print(part.Parent.Parent)
            part.Parent:Destroy()
            cd = true
            task.delay(3,function()
                cd = false
            end)
            local currentRebirthPortal = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RebirthPortals"):FindFirstChild("RebirthPortal"..game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value)
            if currentRebirthPortal then
                local currentRebirthPortalClone = currentRebirthPortal:Clone()
                currentRebirthPortalClone.Parent = workspace
            end
        end
    end)
end)

#

second part:

local function ShowPortal()
    local currentRebirthPortal = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RebirthPortals"):FindFirstChild("RebirthPortal"..game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value)
    if currentRebirthPortal then
        local currentRebirthPortalClone = currentRebirthPortal:Clone()
        currentRebirthPortalClone.Parent = workspace
    end
end

local function setupPortal(part)
    if not part:IsDescendantOf(workspace) then return end
    part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not cd then
            GiveRebirths:FireServer()
            print(part.Parent.Parent)
            part.Parent:Destroy()
            cd = true
            task.delay(3,function()
                cd = false
            end)
            ShowPortal()
        end
    end)
end


game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents"):FindFirstChild("ShowPortalEventOrTouched").OnClientEvent:Connect(function(data)
    if data == "ShowPortal" then
        ShowPortal()
    end
end)

where did you fire the "ShowPortalEventOrTouched"? i might be missing it

safe echo Nov 13, 2025, 5:40 PM

#

Either u messed up the tags somehow, or ur cd doesn’t set back to false

#

Or u used the wrong script in the wrong service
