AOE attack affecting characters one at a time

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I was testing with magnitude to try and create an AOE attack for a spell but it only works for characters one at at time. How would I make it work for characters/player at the same time instead of it affecting them one at a time?

local remote = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent")
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character
	local RootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	local part = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
	part.Shape = "Ball"
	part.Size = Vector3.new(10,10,10)
	part.CanCollide = false
	part.Anchored = true
	part.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 127)
	part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
	part.CFrame = RootPart.CFrame
	
	--local tween = TS:Create(part,TweenInfo(1),{Size = Vector3.new(30,30,30),Transparency = 1}) :Play()
	
	
	for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
		if v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and v ~= character then
			local enemy = v
			local EnemyHum = v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			local Eroot = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			if (RootPart.Position - Eroot.Position).Magnitude <= 30 then
				

				v.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true



				local humrp = enemy.UpperTorso

				local BV = Instance.new ("BodyVelocity" ,humrp)

				BV.MaxForce= Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)

				BV.Velocity= v.UpperTorso.CFrame.LookVector* - 10

				enemy.RagdollR15.Activate.Value = true 

				EnemyHum:TakeDamage(math.random(45,50))
				BV:Destroy()
			

				wait(10)

				enemy.RagdollR15.Activate.Value = true

				--Eroot.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
				
			end
		end
	end
	game.Debris:AddItem(part,1)
end)

I believe it’s because of the wait that you have in your code, a simple way to fix it would be to encase the code that does the AOE attack inside of a task.spawn so that way it’s done on a different thread

if (RootPart.Position - Eroot.Position).Magnitude <= 30 then
				
	task.spawn(function() 
		v.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
		

		local humrp = enemy.UpperTorso

		local BV = Instance.new ("BodyVelocity" ,humrp)

		BV.MaxForce= Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)

		BV.Velocity= v.UpperTorso.CFrame.LookVector* - 10

		enemy.RagdollR15.Activate.Value = true 

		EnemyHum:TakeDamage(math.random(45,50))
		BV:Destroy()


		task.wait(10)

		enemy.RagdollR15.Activate.Value = true

		--Eroot.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
	end)
end

I have another question if you don’t mind but it does not actually work on players (The damage) why is that? (It only works on dummy)

#4

Are there any errors when it tries to damage? If not, maybe instead of just putting the code in the if statement in the task.spawn, try putting all of this

local enemy = v
local EnemyHum = v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local Eroot = v:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if (RootPart.Position - Eroot.Position).Magnitude <= 30 then
	

	v.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true



	local humrp = enemy.UpperTorso

	local BV = Instance.new ("BodyVelocity" ,humrp)

	BV.MaxForce= Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)

	BV.Velocity= v.UpperTorso.CFrame.LookVector* - 10

	enemy.RagdollR15.Activate.Value = true 

	EnemyHum:TakeDamage(math.random(45,50))
	BV:Destroy()


	wait(10)

	enemy.RagdollR15.Activate.Value = true

	--Eroot.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
	
end

Into it?

The script works fine but I im trying to test it out with my account and another to see if it would affect players but it only affects dummys

#6

That’s odd to say the least if it only works on non players, are you certain there’s no errors that happen when it tries to hurt a player? The only thing my eyes are noting that could be a potential problem is if Characters don’t have RagdollR15 nor Activate inside them

Your code should work since both your dummies and characters have humanoids in them
