I’m trying to make a script for a tool which fires a part that insta kills anyone who get hits by it. Everything works fine apart from the kill script. For some reason an error message is produced reading “Humanoid is not a valid member of MeshPart”. I have no idea why this is the case.

local repStor = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local bullet = repStor.Part

local Tool = script.Parent
local tolly = script.Parent.Handle

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local newBullet = bullet:Clone()


Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	newBullet.Position = tolly.Position
	newBullet.Parent = game.Workspace
	newBullet.Velocity = mouse.Hit.LookVector * 1000
end)

newBullet.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		hit.Humanoid.Health = 0
	end
end)

You are doing hit.Parent:FindFirstChild and then you are doing hit.Humanoid so I think maybe you want to do hit.Parent.Humanoid?

Yeah, thanks. Can’t believe I missed that.

Adding onto what ryan said you also might want to add a debounce so your .Touched function isn’t running several times when it would only need to run once for that specific player.

Read this to understand more about debounces.

I’ll look into that. Thanks for the advice. I’m pretty new to scripting so any ways to improve my code are always good.

Good idea, you should use a debounce and wait maybe like 1 second. Not sure.
