I am trying to make a sword attack multiple targets at once if they of course get hit by the sword.
My sword consists of a hit-box part that is the touched detection part, when my swing animation gets to a keyframe, the damaging section of the script is active.
script.Parent.Blade.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local plr = plrS:FindFirstChild(tool.Parent.Name)
if hit.Parent or hit.Parent.Parent then
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Enemy") or hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Enemy") then
if hit.Parent.Enemy.Value == true then
local eneH = hit.Parent.Humanoid
if act then
if eneH:FindFirstChild("creator") then
if eneH.creator.Value ~= plr then
local creator_tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
creator_tag.Value = plr
creator_tag.Name = "creator"
creator_tag.Parent = eneH
end
else
local creator_tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
creator_tag.Value = plr
creator_tag.Name = "creator"
creator_tag.Parent = eneH
end
local dmg = rand:NextNumber(setting.Minimum_Damage,setting.Maximum_Damage)
module.DamageIndicator(dmg,hit.Parent.Head.CFrame * CFrame.new(rand:NextNumber(-1,1),2,rand:NextNumber(-1,1)))
eneH:TakeDamage(dmg)
act = false
end
end
end
end
end
end)
^ That is a server script.
âactâ is the debounce that gets enabled when the animation gets to the keyframe.
Now, It obviously damages only one target, and then the debounce is de-activated.
Where should I start if I want to make it attack multiple targets that the blade hits?
I have tried to create a bool-value in each target that got attacked, and it wouldâve been removed after like a second.
But that didnât seem like the path to go cause it was buggy and weird.
Any suggestions of at least the logic behind making something like that?
Example gif:
I need it to damage both of the targets, that is my goal.
Ideally, Iâd use a table that will add up the target hit and spawn a function for it to be removed after X seconds. When attempting to hit the target while the table still has the object indexed, do not run the damage block.
Apologies for my misknowledge about tables, I am very confused and I am not sure whatâs wrong here.
for i = 1, #hitE do
print(hitE[i])--:GetFullName())
if hitE[i] ~= eneH then
table.insert(hitE,i,eneH)
print(hitE[1]:GetFullName())
spawn(function()
wait(.5)
table.remove(hitE,i)
end)
end
end
hitE is a table I created outside of the Touched function, but it doesnât print the name, I am not sure whats wrongâŚ
-- truncated
local found
for _, character in next, hitE do
if character ~= eneH then
-- some boolean toggle for match
found = true
end
end
if not found then
table.insert(hitE, eneH) -- table index at 1 by default, no?
spawn(function()
wait(.5)
for i, character in next, hitE do
if character == eneH then
table.remove(hitE, i)
end
end
end)
-- truncated
end
I just remembered that you still need the index for the removal. Hmm, typical me of overlooking this.
Looks like it is the section. First block checks whether you can find the character in table. The second block adds the character if itâs not found and spawns the function to remove it within X time.
I think itâs also possible to not use spawn at all and place the block of code in the function at the very end of the second block, because the script has an input which is spammable.
Updated
-- truncated
local found
for _, character in next, hitE do
if character ~= eneH then
-- some boolean toggle for match
found = true
end
end
if not found then
table.insert(hitE, eneH) -- table index at 1 by default, no?
-- truncated
wait(.5)
for i, character in next, hitE do
if character == eneH then
table.remove(hitE, i)
end
end
end
Note the truncated comment, this means the other codes to be run and so on.
local hitE = {}
script.Parent.Blade.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local plr = plrS:FindFirstChild(tool.Parent.Name)
if hit.Parent:IsA("Model") and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Enemy") then -- no way you can miss because the debounce is for per enemy
if hit.Parent.Enemy.Value == true then
local eneH = hit.Parent.Humanoid
local found
for _, character in next, hitE do
if character == eneH then
-- some boolean toggle for match
found = true
end
end
if not found then
table.insert(hitE, eneH)
if eneH:FindFirstChild("creator") then
if eneH.creator.Value ~= plr then
local creator_tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
creator_tag.Value = plr
creator_tag.Name = "creator"
creator_tag.Parent = eneH
end
else
local creator_tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
creator_tag.Value = plr
creator_tag.Name = "creator"
creator_tag.Parent = eneH
end
local dmg = rand:NextNumber(setting.Minimum_Damage,setting.Maximum_Damage)
module.DamageIndicator(dmg,hit.Parent.Head.CFrame * CFrame.new(rand:NextNumber(-1,1),2,rand:NextNumber(-1,1)))
eneH:TakeDamage(dmg)
wait(.5)
for i, character in next, hitE do
if character == eneH then
table.remove(hitE, i)
end
end
end
end
end
end)
Difference Log
Changed all the if statements to more appropriate ones. Also added up the debounce thing.
Sorry for not editing the previous post, but this is a post that is directly the solution.
Hold up, but it seems like something else is the issueâŚ
local found
for _, character in next, hitE do
if character ~= eneH then
-- some boolean toggle for match
found = true
end
end
if found then
print('found')
