your waiting 8 seconds to make them cough? also, are there errors being printed in the output?

Yeah, I make them wait 8 seconds. There are no errors being printed.
is “GotCold!” being printed? and why dont you add a print after the first wait(8) and see if it prints after eight seconds.

change plr.Character.Head to plr.Head, plr is the players character whom got hit.

okay, so your going to want to change virusremote:FireServer("Cold",hit) to virusremote:FireServer("Cold",hit.Parent)

Switched it, still shows this.
Handler Code:
virusbindable.Event:Connect(function(disease,plr)
if disease == "Cold" then
local Cough1Copy = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cough1:Clone()
Cough1Copy.Parent = plr.Head
local Cough2Copy = game.ReplicatedStorage.Cough2:Clone()
Cough2Copy.Parent = plr.Head
print("GotCold!")
wait(8)
Cough1Copy:Play()
plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed - .4
wait(8)
Cough2Copy:Play()
end
if disease == "remove disease" then
collectionservice:RemoveTag(plr,collectionservice:GetTags(plr))
end
end)
Local Script (in tool):
local tool = script.Parent
local Debounce = true
local virusremote = game.ReplicatedStorage.VirusRemote
tool.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print("newserver")
local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if Player and Debounce == true then
Debounce = false
virusremote:FireServer("Cold", hit.Parent)
wait(1)
Debounce = true
end
end)
inside ofif disease == "Cold" then; add this print(plr)

Still doesn’t work. Weird.

i’m going to open up studio, and try out this stuff really quick for testing. one second

it works, here:
Needle Example.rbxl (22.8 KB)
sorry, i was having issues with the touched event, so i made it where when you click it will make your walkspeed slower by 10 after two seconds, however; with some modifications, you can change player.Character parameter in the :FireServer() to be whoever was hit’s character.
let me know if you have any issues, or need any more help

So I went in and made edits to my original scripts based off of your game, I still get this:
It makes me wonder if it has something to do with the script that includes the chances. I’ll put in all four updated scripts.

The actual reason why is it says that character isn’t a valid member of meshpart is because you’re actually saying:
MeshPart.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed - .4
For other problems you have i’ll discuss it in my head later so i can have some plausible solutions.
Edit: The other errors earlier that also said that character is not a valid member of part is also the issue with getting the part, not the parent.
Part.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed - .4
After a bit of messing around, I got the script to work.
I thank everyone for helping out, I have no doubt the other ones work as well.
Have a great day!
