local module = {}

module.Hitbox = function(Character:Model, CFrameOffset:CFrame, Size:number, Damage:number, BlockDamage:number. VfxPart:BasePart)
	local Hrp = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid").RootPart
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
	local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	local BlockValue = leaderstats.BlockValue
	
	local Hitbox = workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(Hrp.CFrame * CFrameOffset, Vector3.one * Size)

	local Filtered = {}

	for _, Parts in Hitbox do
		local PossibleCharacter = Parts.Parent

		if PossibleCharacter == Character or table.find(Filtered, PossibleCharacter) or not PossibleCharacter:IsA("Model") then continue end

		local Humanoid = PossibleCharacter:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
		if not Humanoid then continue end

		local VfxClone = VfxPart:Clone()
		VfxClone.CFrame = Humanoid.RootPart.CFrame
		VfxClone.Parent = workspace
		
		if PossibleCharacter:GetAttribute("IsBlocking") == true and PossibleCharacter:GetAttribute("Parrying") == false and PossibleCharacter:GetAttribute("IsGaurdBroken") == false then
			BlockValue.Value = BlockValue.Value - BlockDamage
			print(BlockValue)
		end
		
		if PossibleCharacter:GetAttribute("IsBlocking") == false and PossibleCharacter:GetAttribute("Parrying") == false and PossibleCharacter:GetAttribute("IsGaurdBroken") == false then
			Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
			PossibleCharacter:SetAttribute("Stunned", true)
			task.wait(1)
			PossibleCharacter:SetAttribute("Stunned", false)
		end
		
		if PossibleCharacter:GetAttribute("IsBlocking") == true and PossibleCharacter:GetAttribute("Parrying") == true and PossibleCharacter:GetAttribute("IsGaurdBroken") == false then
			local KatanaParry = hum:LoadAnimation(game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst").Animations.KatanaParry)
			KatanaParry:Play()
		end
		

		

		table.insert(Filtered, PossibleCharacter)
		task.delay(0.5, game.Destroy, VfxClone)
	end

	table.clear(Filtered)
end

return module

there’s a period instead of a comma on line 3

You used a period here, it should be a “,”, like this:

module.Hitbox = function(Character:Model, CFrameOffset:CFrame, Size:number, Damage:number, BlockDamage:number, VfxPart:BasePart)

This is solved but I wanna let you know you could save the attributes to a variable then do your if statements because it would look much cleaner

5

oh ill do that now, also how do I reference the possiblecharacters player, like I want to get there leaderstats, do I just do PossibleCharacter.Player:waitforchild("leaderstats)?

6

Do it the same way you did for the character parameter. Use the Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter function but it might return nil if you’re hitting an NPC

Alright nice it worked,

could u tell me why line 40 is returning this error?

There are two issues with this event. First, there’s a backtick character after “then” and the closing parenthesis should be on the second end not the first.

Fixed event:

chr:GetAttributeChangedSignal("IsGaurdBroken"):Connect(function()
	local GuardBroken = chr:GetAttribute("IsGaurdBroken")
	if GuardBroken == false then
		hum.WalkSpeed = 16
		hum.JumpPower = 50
		--local Stunanim = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst").Animations.StunAnim
		--local StunTrack = chr.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Stunanim)
		--StunTrack:Play()
		--StunTrack.Looped = false
		--print("player is stunned")
	end
end)

Also, your code is kind of repetitive… You know you could do the if statements in one event right? For example, when the stunned attribute changes you don’t need to connect to it twice. You could evaluate it using one if and else statement
