Cant Damage Humanoids

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I want the humanoids to take 10 damage every time I hit them.

The humanoids for some reason take no damage despite the script detecting that they should take damage and there not being any errors.

I have tried a variety of different ways to damage humanoids including humanoid.Health -= 10 and humanoid:TakeDamage(10) but none seem to work. I have also tried this on different npc models and even on players but that makes no difference.

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local tool = script.Parent
local handle = tool.Handle
local remotes = tool:WaitForChild("Remotes")
local config = tool:WaitForChild("Config")

local damage = config:GetAttribute("Damage")

local hitdebounce = {}

remotes.ToolActivated.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local char = player.Character
	local touch

	touch = handle.Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if table.find(char:GetDescendants(), hit) == nil and table.find(hitdebounce, char) == nil and char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			print(damage)
			print(hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health)
			table.insert(hitdebounce, char)
			char.Humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
			print(hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health)
		end
	end)

	wait(.5)
	touch:Disconnect()
	table.clear(hitdebounce)
end)

Is this script on the client or a server script? If it’s on the client, have a remote event fire the event and take damage on the server.

3

This is on the server, and the event is fired from client.

4

Are the print statements reached?

5

I dont really know what reach mean, but the print statements do print.

6

What is the value of damage? What does it print for damage?

7

The value for damage is 10 as shown in the output in the video.

Have you tried taking damage on the client side in a local script? Based on the documentation I’ve seen, it works if it’s on the client from the example code.

9

I can try but I dont understand why it wont simply work on the server.

10

It doesnt seem to work on client either

11

Could the problem be where I have the server script?

It doesn’t matter location but try having it in the ServerScriptService to see if it changes anything.

13

I could try but I would have to rework the entire script.

14

I don’t think that would work, just like you said, It doesn’t matter location.

15

Anyways, how do you detect any humanoids in the local script?

16

You should be doing game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)

17

So I cant damage humanoids from the server?

18

You can damage them from the server.

19

Wait wait, are you trying to take damage in that Touched function?

20

Yes, but I get the character from the hit then damage the humanoid.
