Help with Raycast Hitbox

There’s a module called Raycast Hitbox, and I’m having some trouble with it.
Here’s the module: Raycast Hitbox 4.01: For all your melee needs!
Here’s my script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RaycastHitbox = require(ReplicatedStorage.RaycastHitboxV4)

local swordHitbox = RaycastHitbox.new(script.Parent)

swordHitbox.OnHit:Connect(function(hit)
	print("hit")
	local model = hit.Parent
	print(model.Name)
	if model.Name == "Burger" or model.Name == "Taco" then
		if model.ClassName == "Model" then
			local health = model:GetAttribute("Health")
			health = health-100
			model:SetAttribute("Health", health)
		end
	end
end)

while true do
	swordHitbox:HitStart()
	wait(3)
	swordHitbox:HitStop()
	wait(3)
end

My problem is that it doesn’t take away any health from the model. How do I fix this?

You need to write back the changed value with SetAttribute. health only contains a copy of the value you’re trying to change, it doesn’t store the actual location of the Health attribute.

edit: My bad I see that you do in fact do that.

#3

I don’t think the program senses the hitbox getting hit. It never shows “hit” in the output.

#4

Does the module give you any way to visualize the hitbox to make sure its in the right position?

#5

Yes, and it is in the right position.
.

#6

Does it print “hit” at all? Have you tried printing model?

No, it doesn’t print hit at all. Do I need to acknowledge the fact that there is no humanoid?

Can you think of anything else I might be doing wrong? I have all this code in a local script in the tool, not the part. After looking at the API, I edited the code a bit too. Here’s the new code:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RaycastHitbox = require(ReplicatedStorage.RaycastHitboxV4)
print("Raycast Hitbox Module Found")

local swordHitbox = RaycastHitbox.new(script.Parent)

print("sword hitbox found")

swordHitbox.OnHit:Connect(function(hit, humanoid)
	print("hit")
	if not humanoid then
		local model = hit.Parent
		print(model.Name)
		local health = model:GetAttribute("Health")
		health = health-100
		model:SetAttribute("Health", health)
		print(health)
	end
end)

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	swordHitbox:HitStart()
	wait(3)
	swordHitbox:HitStop()
end)

@azqjanna do you see anything wrong with this new script?
