Getting multiple players

so basically, im using a hitbox thats a circle and using GetTouchingParts to find the players in the circle.
it works however it only gets 1 player, not all of the players in the radius. so how should i get all players in the radius instead of 1?

(im using a custom GetTouchingParts function that also detects parts of which have CanCollide set to false)

function if needed:

local function GetTouchingParts(part)
	local connection = part.Touched:Connect(function() end)
	local results = part:GetTouchingParts()
	connection:Disconnect()
	return results
end

code that gets the players in the radius:

		local PartsInRadius = GetTouchingParts(car.ExplosionRadius)
		for i, v in pairs(PartsInRadius) do
			if v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")  and v ~= car:GetDescendants() and not db then
				db = true
				print(v.Parent.Name) --only prints one player
				
			end
		end

That’s because of the debounce. You are not letting it pass that if statement more than once.

and not db then

db = true

Use this function

local function GetTouchingCharacters(touchPart)
	local connection = touchPart.Touched:Connect(function() end)
	local touching = touchPart:GetTouchingParts()
	connection:Disconnect()
	
	local characters = {}
	local results = {}
	for _, part in pairs(touching) do
		if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			if not characters[part.Parent] then
				characters[part.Parent] = true
				table.insert(results, part.Parent)
			end
		end
	end
	
	return results
end

That should just give you a list of characters that are touching the part.

sorry but how would i get the table from the function into this??:

		local PartsInRadius = GetTouchingCharacters(car.ExplosionRadius)
		
		for i, v in pairs(PartsInRadius) do
			if v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")  and v ~= car:GetDescendants() then
				print(v.Parent.Name)

				print("e")

				--db = true
			end
		end

(im trying to get all of the players that were touching the part, and then dmg them/ragdoll)

v is the character in your example. You no longer have to check for a humanoid. In fact it’s likely not working because you are. Humanoid would be a child now not a sibling. The function returns a list of all characters who had at least one part in the radius.

I’ve renamed what you had as v to character in this example, but you should be able to use this instead of the loop you gave.

local CharsInRadius = GetTouchingCharacters(car.ExplosionRadius)

for _, character in pairs(CharsInRadius) do
	character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(65)
end
