Basically when you say the string nearby players get damaged .

Im not getting any error but the script doesn’t seem to be working.note this is a normal script inside serverscriptservice .

local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local db = false

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		Player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
			local c = Player.Character
			if msg == "stridor" and not db then
				local db = true

				for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
					if v:findFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and v:findFirstChild("Humanoid") == nil and v ~= c then
						if (v.HumanoidRootPart.Position - c.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude < 15 then print("Ho")
							v.Humanoid:TakeDamage(5)

							wait(14)
							local db = false
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

I would like to know what i’m doing wrong so i can fix it

v:findFirstChild(“Humanoid”) == nil

that could be whats causing it, as if the HumanoidRootPart exists, a Humanoid would also likely exist.

YES thank you so much it worked

Just a word of advice, the wait(14) is inside the for loop which would cause it to wait 14 seconds for every person it finds, I advise putting it outside of the loop so that it damages them all much faster and the debounce doesnt break if it finds no characters.
