  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    A rocket launcher but I want to make the explosion do less damage

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    the explosion won’t do less damage

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    try searching but still haven’t found a solution

script.Parent.Shoot.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, LookAt)
	local offset = Vector3.new(0,-2.5,-2.5)
	local missle = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
	missle.CFrame = script.Parent.Head.CFrame*CFrame.new(offset)
	missle.Velocity = LookAt * 100
	missle.Material = "Neon"
	missle.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
	missle.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	missle.Transparency = 0.3
	local fly = Instance.new("BodyForce",missle)
	fly.Force = Vector3.new(0,missle:GetMass()*196.2,0)
	game.Debris:AddItem(missle,10)
	sound:Play()
	wait()
	missle.Touched:Connect(function()
		local s = Instance.new("Sound")
		s.Parent = missle
		s.SoundId = 'rbxassetid://3802270540'
		s.Volume = 10
		s:Play()
		
		local MIN_DAMAGE = 20
		local MAX_DAMAGE = 30
		
		local e = Instance.new("Explosion",workspace)
		e.Position = missle.Position
		e.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 0
		e.Hit:Connect(function(hit, distance)
			local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if hum then
				hum:TakeDamage((1 - distance / e.BlastRadius) * (MAX_DAMAGE - MIN_DAMAGE) + MIN_DAMAGE)
				missle:remove()
			else
				missle:remove()
			end
		end)
	end)

What’s this formula for? Why did you subtract max from min?

Edit: Minor thing but get rid of the else condition, and do this.

if hum then
    hum:TakeDamage((1 - distance / e.BlastRadius) * (MAX_DAMAGE - MIN_DAMAGE) + MIN_DAMAGE)

missle:remove()

Hm, the explosion still instant kill players, I tried to change the take damage to normal numbers but still won’t work

Your formula looks fine
Have you tried adding a debounce to the .touched function?
(Edit, Actually probably just prevent the touched function from running again once its been touched once)

The reason is because your explosion hits every part of the player (limbs, hats, etc.) and it treats each part like it belongs to a completely new target.

You’ll want to add an array of all players who’ve already been hit once by the explosion. Add a check where if a player was already hit and is in the array, don’t deal damage. If a player is hit for the first time, damage them, then add them to the array.

How would I do that? I am not a scripter, the code above is just me mixing everything together

you should add a debounce so the bomb only damages the player one time instead of damaging the player everytime the script detects a touch.

it’s actually pretty simple.

local debounce

if not debounce then
    missle.Touched:Connect(function()
        debounce = true -- so the script wouldn't run again
        
        -- your script
    
    end
end

try use this script

onehit = true
script.Parent.Shoot.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, LookAt)
	local offset = Vector3.new(0,-2.5,-2.5)
	local missle = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
	missle.CFrame = script.Parent.Head.CFrame*CFrame.new(offset)
	missle.Velocity = LookAt * 100
	missle.Material = "Neon"
	missle.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
	missle.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	missle.Transparency = 0.3
	local fly = Instance.new("BodyForce",missle)
	fly.Force = Vector3.new(0,missle:GetMass()*196.2,0)
	game.Debris:AddItem(missle,10)
	sound:Play()
	wait()
	missle.Touched:Connect(function()
		local s = Instance.new("Sound")
		s.Parent = missle
		s.SoundId = 'rbxassetid://3802270540'
		s.Volume = 10
		s:Play()
		
		local MIN_DAMAGE = 20
		local MAX_DAMAGE = 30
		
		local e = Instance.new("Explosion",workspace)
		e.Position = missle.Position
		e.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 0
		e.Hit:Connect(function(hit, distance) if onehit == true then onehit = false
			local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if hum then
				hum:TakeDamage((1 - distance / e.BlastRadius) * (MAX_DAMAGE - MIN_DAMAGE) + MIN_DAMAGE)
				missle:remove()
wait(0.1)
onehit = true
			else
				missle:remove()
end
			end
		end)
	end)
