How do I make a script that detects how long you have been touching a brick?
I'm creating some AI monster, and he gets stuck inside bricks sometimes, I want to have it so if he is touching a part for 10 secons the part gets destroyed. How though?

Use something along the touch ended event
-don't rely on it tho, your body touches it a lot in a short period of time |

What do you mean body touches it for a short period of time?

@Internet How would I use magnitude?

|
|
For example;
while wait(.1) do
if (player.Torso.Position - part.Position).magnitude <= 2 then
print'player is within 2 studs of the center of the part'
end
end |

@Internet Thanks, I will experiment with this.

hello internetguy, sometimes a brick is irregularly shaped, such as 5,2,85 or something like that |
|
|
Well, magnitude works from the exact center of the part.

My parts are small so i'm fine, I have not tried it yet, I have to make some major adjustments to my game for it to work.

How would I define part? There are several parts in my game. The ones the monster usually gets stuck on are called "WoodWall"

Wouldn't you put the script in each part and then to refer to the part do script.Parent? |

hello, just a quick note - if you use magnitude, standing up on the block may not register from just touching it from its side (torso dist) |

or Touched event connected to all the bricks in the game with a iterator loop.
reference the brick by script.Parent and define the part by instance.new and its properties |

Instance.new? Isn't that for new parts?

defining is creating and setting a value for something - unless you used the wrong word?
you reference a part with a script |
