At first I thought that the “Active” being in the script is the reason why if there’s more than 1 Character touching the Part, it only damages 1 Character and the other Character will only be able to take damage if the other Character is removed from the Part. ← That is the problem I’m having. Also I don’t want to use Part.Touched as it’s inconsistent. Y’all got any idea how to solve this problem? :cry: :cold_sweat: :roll_eyes:

#2 
while true do wait(1)
	script.Parent.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end

script.Parent.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	local Active = true
	
	local Part = workspace.DamageTest
	local Check = workspace:GetPartsInPart(Part)
	for i, v in ipairs(Check) do
		if v.Parent then
			if v.Parent.Name == Player.Name then
				print("Same")
				local Humanoid = v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
				if Active then
					Active = false
					Humanoid:TakeDamage(25)
					wait(1)
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

This is a kinda goofy solution, I’d like a better one plz!

The wait(1) halts the whole script, meaning that any other player in the part won’t be detected because the loop is halted. Without Part.Touched, things will get complicated and inefficient. You can have a table of tables, with each small table having a player name and a cooldown value. Each cooldown value would be subtracted from every frame.

Cool, cool. Can I get your opinion on this?

Using a player script is definitely better for the method you want. If it works, it works.
