debounce = false

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if debounce == false then

So the problem is that the h.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”) returns the Humanoid if it finds it but it returns nil if it doesnt.

Meaning that you shouldve did this after setting the hum variable:

if hum then
   local explode = Instance.new("Explosion")
   -- The rest
end
