Fireball scirpt glitch

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I created a fireball script and got some help to make it destroy instantly upon contact. However, there’s a glitch: when the fireball touches something, it passes through the part or character for a moment before being destroyed. Does anyone know how to fix this and thanks

local rem = script.Parent:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local animationIds = {"97809031448069", "115238952410528"}
local currentAnimIndex = 1
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local function playAnimation(player, animId)
	local humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
		animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://" .. animId
		local track = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
		track.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action
		track:Play()
		return track
	end
end

local function rotatePlayer(player, targetPosition)
	local rootPart = player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if rootPart and humanoid then
		if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude < 0.1 then
			local direction = Vector3.new(targetPosition.X - rootPart.Position.X, 0, targetPosition.Z - rootPart.Position.Z).unit
			rootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(rootPart.Position, rootPart.Position + direction)
		end
	end
end

local function enableParticles(arm)
	local attachment = arm:FindFirstChild("E")
	if attachment then
		for _, particleName in ipairs({"Fire", "Main1", "Sparkles"}) do
			local particle = attachment:FindFirstChild(particleName)
			if particle then
				particle.Enabled = true
			end
		end

		task.delay(1, function()
			for _, particleName in ipairs({"Fire", "Main1", "Sparkles"}) do
				local particle = attachment:FindFirstChild(particleName)
				if particle then
					particle.Enabled = false
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end

rem.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, MousePosition)
	rotatePlayer(player, MousePosition)
	local track = playAnimation(player, animationIds[currentAnimIndex])
	wait(0.1)

	local shootFrom = currentAnimIndex == 1 and "Left Arm" or "Right Arm"
	local arm = player.Character:FindFirstChild(shootFrom)

	if arm then
		enableParticles(arm)

		local fb = game.ReplicatedStorage.FireBlast:Clone()
		fb.Parent = workspace
		fb.CFrame = arm.CFrame

		-- Set network ownership to the player to reduce jitter
		fb:SetNetworkOwner(player)

		local Newfb = Instance.new("BodyForce")
		Newfb.Force = Vector3.new(0, workspace.Gravity * fb:GetMass(), 0)
		Newfb.Parent = fb

		local direction = (MousePosition - fb.Position).unit
		fb.Velocity = direction * 200

		-- Use a variable to track if the fireball has already hit something
		local hasHit = false

		fb.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			-- Stop the fireball on first contact and execute effects
			if not hasHit and not hit:IsDescendantOf(player.Character) then
				hasHit = true -- Prevent further touches from being processed

				-- Stop the fireball immediately
				fb.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
				fb.Anchored = true
				fb.A:Destroy()
				fb.Attachment.E.Enabled = true

				wait(0.1)
				fb.Attachment.E.Enabled = false

				-- Deal damage if it hits a player
				local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
				if humanoid then
					humanoid:TakeDamage(50)
				end

				-- Destroy the fireball after 1 second
				Debris:AddItem(fb, 1)
			end
		end)
	end

	-- Alternate between the two animations
	currentAnimIndex = (currentAnimIndex % #animationIds) + 1
end)

you need to reduce the debris time or just use fb:Destroy.

3

I reduced the debris time but its still the same

4

This delays it so you need to remove this or spwan a coroutine

This makes it wait too long to destroy the part after contact

I recommend using task.wait() instead of wait() and if you just want instantaneous disappearing then you’re better off just using fb:Destroy() since Debris is meant for delaying destruction.
