Best way to create a dash that stuns the first person hit?

I’m creating an arena-style arcade fighting game and I’m trying to figure out how exactly I would create a dash that would stun the first enemy hit? I’m not looking for an actual code block obviously but what strategy would you use for this?

I’ve considered spawning a part that stuns players but I doubt that would be very efficient, is there a way I can make the entire player’s body stun or something? I am honestly stumped and considering just changing the ability entirely. Any ideas are appreciated

If any visual examples are useful think of Gragas’s bodyslam ability from League of Legends

Maybe, you could set a Touched Event inside the Character’s HumanoidRootPart when activated, detect if it will hit anything that’s a Target (Or other player), then the Target will take damage & you’ll stop dashing?

Possibly something like this could do, I’ll just give a broad example:

local Hitbox = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") --You could put this in the Character model
local DashDamage = 50
local TargetDetected = false

Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
    local Target = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
        if Target and TargetDetected == false then
            TargetDetected = true

            local TargetChar = Hit.Parent
            TargetChar.Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
            TargetChar.Humanoid.PlatformStand = false
        end
    end
end)

I have a stun module which you can use.
It uses tables and is fully customisable to suit your needs.
