Hi! I’m making a script where if a character with a humanoid gets hit, they take damage, knockback etc. The problem is that sometimes it gets hit and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it even takes 5 whole minutes for me to be able to hit the character. When I don’t hit the character, it just prints out “nil”.
Script:
local touched = false
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
game.ReplicatedStorage.Throw.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, mouseHit)
plr.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Handle:FindFirstChild("Yeet")):Play()
local clone = plr.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool").Handle:Clone()
clone.CanTouch = true
clone.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent ~= plr.Character and hit.Parent.Name ~= "Rope" then
if not touched then
local target = hit.Parent

This is the code that’s wrong:
clone.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print(hit.Parent)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent ~= plr.Character and hit.Parent.Name ~= "Rope" then
It sometimes touches the player and then it quits the if statement because the player getting hit was the player who fired the code. If there was a way to fire the if statement multiple times. I don’t know what to do. Would you use repeat until?
Add a hitbox to the tool (ex: a part around the blade of a sword) and do clone.Hitbox.Touched:Connect(etc) so it will only detect if something touches the blade, not the entire tool (which the player is holding)
I know, but like… if the handle is the entire tool, then obviously it would hit the player holding the tool when the player holding the tool fires the event because the player is touching the handle. What I mean is detecting whether a specific part (not the part the player is holding) of the tool is touched.
