Destruction game destroying people

Lostscrews13 · November 13, 2020, 5:45pm

Okay, so I made a destruction game, and it works because the stuff to destroy is welded together, and the slingshot’s script says if touching something, unweld it. So it works, and it is fun, but if one of the slingshot’s pellets bounces and hits the human, their parts get unwelded, too! Is there a way to make the humanoids impossible to unweld, or maybe edit the script to only break blocks with a certain name? This is the script:

function onTouched(hit)
hit:BreakJoints()
wait(0.5)
pellet:Destroy()
end

here is the game:

if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”) then return end

Put this right before breakjoints and it should fix it.

You just need something to tell it whether it’s a player or not

Alright, thanks! Let me try it…

The pellet might not get destroyed this way so your probably better off doing

if not hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”) then

— code here

End

And then put the destroy pellet here after the end

It wont unweld stuff Anymore…

Lostscrews13 · November 13, 2020, 5:57pm

I tried it, but now the pellets won’t unweld anything and they won’t go away

isaiahbur · November 13, 2020, 5:59pm

Alright this should do it.

if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”) then
else
—break code here
end
—remove pellet code here

Sorry about that

Hm, still doesn’t work…
Did I do it right?

isaiahbur · November 13, 2020, 6:03pm

Wait goes below the end so it does it no matter what

Lostscrews13 · November 13, 2020, 6:05pm

I did that, and still nothing unwelds and the pellets dont delete… Thanks so much for trying to help, though! I’ll keep trying

isaiahbur · November 13, 2020, 6:06pm

Wow I just figured it out I’m so sorry

Replace the .findfirstchildofclass with a :findfirstchildofclass

I feel so bad now

(It wasn’t working the whole time because I didn’t use : for :findfirstchild)

Lostscrews13 · November 13, 2020, 6:10pm

It still does the same thing… did I mess something up again?

isaiahbur · November 13, 2020, 6:11pm

Well the only other thing I can think of is if it’s breaking their tools or something or anything that’s parent isn’t the player

If it’s breaking tools you can just copy and paste the hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”)
And replace humanoid with the Tool class.

Lostscrews13 · November 13, 2020, 6:13pm

Could it be with the
:FindFirstChildOfClass(“humanoid”)
?
Is there another way to identify a human?

isaiahbur · November 13, 2020, 6:14pm

Yeah you can just do FindFirstChild then it detects the name not the class

Lostscrews13 · November 13, 2020, 6:15pm

Well, I am stumped. Thanks so much for trying, though! It’s probably something I messed up

Lostscrews13 · November 13, 2020, 6:17pm

I got it! It was something I did wrong

Lostscrews13 · November 13, 2020, 6:18pm

I already had a similar script to detect humanoids

isaiahbur · November 13, 2020, 6:19pm

Sorry about this

Some other ways you could detect it is by hit.Name hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) etc

So like

If hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”) or hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass(“Humanoid”) then

I just changed it to do what I needed:

Yay!
