I keep going back and forth with my solutions and problems

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Alright, so the script goal is that it will detect if the plr is a plr, and if it is a plr it’ll check if the player is allied or not. If they are, the script ends there and if they aren’t then the script will else onto if the character has the same name as them, and if they finally don’t then the character will take damage with a part surrounding the NPC

I’ve tried remaking the script many times but It’ll always have one of three problems, 1: The enemies damage each other, but not players. 2: The enemies damage players, but not enemies. 3: (which this script is on) Neither will take damage.

How can I make it to where the script will damage unallied players or NPCS with different names as them? (and allied no damage, of course)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

	local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit)
	if plr ~= nil then

		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		local Allied = player.factions.Allied.Value
		if Allied == true then
			wait()
			print("allied")

		


	else
		if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent ~= script.Parent then

			if hit.Parent.Name == script.Parent.Parent.Name then
				wait()

			else
				print("take dmg")
				hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(script.Damage.Value)




			end
			end

		end
	end
end)

I’m really bad at scripting.

When scripting and if we have errors (or not), our best friend is the print() function.
Try printing script.Parent.Parent.Name and hit.Parent.Name and check what’s printing out
