How can you make a touch event work between two objects?
I don't mean between a humanoid and brick, I mean between two bricks. I have been struggling to make it work.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:IsA("Part") then
--stuff
end
end) |

@Ay
That only works if it isn't touching anything I think. However the brick I have is touching the ground. How would this work?

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(thing)
print (script.Parent.Name.." and "..thing.Name.." have touched")
end)
So if this was in:Part1
And it hit:Part2
Ouput would be:
-Part1 and Part2 have touched |

name the part you want to check "BlockToCheck"
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit:IsA("Part") and hit.Name == "BlockToCheck" then
--stuff
end
end) |

Once it actually"touches" it'll do ittry inserting that script into a part,then put a part a few studs above it,and hit play.. |
|
|
Of course its not gonna run if the part is sitting on the baseplate,and u expect it to say part touched baseplate..and BTW,ever hear of output? |

Did you replace "--stuff" with some code? |

What?

Well, considering i am using the print function in order to tell if the script works...in fact forget it. I am not even going to justify that stupidity with an answer.

Are you talking about detecting collisions that have already occurred? As in, the blocks are already touching prior to the script being ran? |

Yes, basically.

function onTouched(otherPart)
if otherPart.Name ~= "Baseplate" then
--stuff
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched) --something like this, i think... |

Assuming they're connected by some surface connection you can use the following,
pastebin.com/vZGGgATP
otherwise you'll have to create an algorithm to detect the intersection of arbitrary oriented shapes, which could be fairly difficult. |

Ok,so here's an idea then..wow,plz next time,be more specific,it seemed like u were asking for an ontouch function to me..
part = script.Parent
touching=false
while not touching do
wait(0.1)
for I,v in pairs (Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name ~= script.Parent.Name and v:IsA("Part") then
if v.Position.Y-script.Parent.Position.Y-1 then
print "close togther"
end
end
end
Something like this maybe? |

Was the issue resolved with my example script? If not I can help you further. |

@Brokken
Yeah, I put it in the part and nothing happened. Nothing showed up on the output :(

Can you describe the context of the situation a little more? Are the parts connected by a surface joint, are they arbitrarily orientated in space and you'd just like to know whether they're colliding/touching or are they axis aligned? |

add a fire or something that isnt in most objects and ontouch check if it has that object |
