It should be a nameless function

for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("Part") then
v.Touched:connect(function (hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
script.Parent.Parent.Wall.Transparency = 1
script.Parent.Parent.Wall.CanCollide = false
end
end)
end
end

I'm not sure if the part after it though will perform how you expect.

hey. that was kind of interesting code you had there, Sethalonian. the error there messed up the script, but overall, you had a good, clean script smaller than i would expect from an average scripter.

you did better than i would have coded in this particular script using your experience with Roblox funtions, as i have noticed, even though this code could have been optimized once more

P.S. i assume u made this script from scratch i hope?

yes, i would have been an idiot to have copied it and made it like ruinned it like that. I made that from scratch.

BTW, what were you using it for?

Subject: Re: 3: ')' expected near '(' September 7th 2011, 9:54 pm

I was making a switch with many pieces. If one piece would touch it would blow up the wall. [Sorta] I haven't really used it though. i just use the index hit thing for other stuff.

lol my code is relatively efficient and short so many people complain when I give them a short looking script that they payed for :3
