Disease System and Cures

[ChallengeDev (Carbon)]

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.

Local Script (StarterPlayerScripts)

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")

local virusremote = game.ReplicatedStorage.VirusRemote

wait(10)



while true do
	
	
	
	local newRandom
	local oldRandom = newRandom
	
	local chosenDisease
	local oldchosenDisease= chosenDisease
	
	
	if TuberOn == true then
		for count = 1, 60 do
			wait(1)
			Character.Humanoid.Health = Character.Humanoid.Health - 1
			Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed - .1
		end
		TuberOn = false
		
	elseif FluOn == true then
		for count = 1, 300 do
			wait(1)
			Character.Humanoid.Health = Character.Humanoid.Health - .1
			Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed - .005
		end
		FluOn = false
		
	elseif ColdOn == true then
		CollectionService:AddTag(Character.Humanoid, "Cold")
		for count = 1, 30 do
		wait(16)
		end
		
		ColdOn = false
		CollectionService:RemoveTag(Character.Humanoid, "Cold")
	end
	
	
	do repeat
			newRandom =  math.random(20, 30)
			wait()
		until
		newRandom ~= oldRandom
	end
	
	do repeat
			chosenDisease = math.random(0, 100)
			wait()
		until
		chosenDisease ~= oldchosenDisease
	end
	
	
	wait(newRandom)
	print(chosenDisease)
	
	TuberOn = false
	FluOn = false
	ColdOn = false
	
	if chosenDisease >= 90 then
		print("Tuberculosis!")
		TuberOn = true
		
	elseif chosenDisease >= 85 then
		print("Flu!")
		FluOn = true
		
	elseif chosenDisease >= 0 then
		print("Cold!")
		ColdOn = true
		
	elseif chosenDisease >= 0 then
		print("None!")
	end
end

Local Script (Tool)

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Debounce = true
local virusremote = game.ReplicatedStorage.VirusRemote
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	tool.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
				Debounce = false
				virusremote:FireServer("Cold", hit.player.Character)
				print("firedcold")
				wait(1)
				Debounce = true
		end)
end)

Server Script (ServerScriptService)

local virusremote = game.ReplicatedStorage.VirusRemote
local virusbindable = game.ReplicatedStorage.VirusBindable
local collectionservice = game:GetService("CollectionService")

virusremote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(originalplr,disease,infectedplr)
	print(infectedplr.Name)
	virusbindable:Fire(disease,infectedplr)
	collectionservice:AddTag(infectedplr,disease)
end)

Server Script (ServerScriptService)
(Handler)

local collectionservice = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local virusbindable = game.ReplicatedStorage.VirusBindable




virusbindable.Event:Connect(function(disease,plr)
	print(plr.Name)
	if disease == "Cold" then
		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)
			print(plr.Parent.Name)
--			Cough1Copy:Play()
			plr.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = plr.Humanoid.WalkSpeed - .4
			wait(8)
--			Cough2Copy:Play()
		end
		if disease == "remove disease" then
			collectionservice:RemoveTag(plr,collectionservice:GetTags(plr))
		end
	end
	if disease == "remove disease" then
		collectionservice:RemoveTag(plr,collectionservice:GetTags(plr))
	end
end)

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!
