Highlight Script Not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

show me the entire script with the calling of the function, etc and the function itself

#22

Very simple script.

local debounce = false
local tool = script.Parent.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local value = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Player")
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local function light(glow) --Highlights the hrp
	for i = 0,600,1 do
		glow.FillTransparency.Value -= .01
		task.wait(0.005)
	end
	for i = 0,600,1 do
		glow.FillTransparency.Value += .01
		task.wait(0.005)
	end
end

tool:WaitForChild("Handle").Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if debounce then return end
	-- Will run if the item that touched the handle has a Humanoid
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local humanoid = hit.Parent.Humanoid
		local glow = hit.Parent.glow
		debounce = true
		print(glow)
		light(glow)
		humanoid:TakeDamage(15)
		local Creator_Tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
		Creator_Tag.Name = "creator"
		Creator_Tag.Value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
		Debris:AddItem(Creator_Tag, 2)
		Creator_Tag.Parent = humanoid
	end
	task.wait(1) -- Change this to how much time the cooldown will take
	debounce = false
end)

i reccomend you adding the highlight to the character itself, then sending over the character to the function.

#24

I already added it to the character.

How would I do this?

#25

hold on, is glow the highlight itself?
you would send over the character by simply doing:

light(hit.Parent)
#26

Yep the glow is the highlight, I was too lazy to keep writing it lol.

#27

oh, ignore my other post. is this a local or server script

#28

Server script, is this a problem?

#29

are you combining 2 scripts together in your code because I see this:

game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
#30

and also, are you creating the glow highlight on a script, or is it just already there?

#31

The glow is already there. Should I delete and make in the script?

#32

I don’t know what you mean by this…

#33

no you don’t need to make it in a script. i’m still confused on if you’re combining 2 scripts in the code sample

#34

What do you mean by this???

I don’t get this at all…

#35

basically, you’re saying this is a server script. but there is a localplayer variable, which I’m confused about.

#36

Ohh I get this. This was a script from my old game when I was a trash dev and I forgot to take it out. Sorry :frowning:

#37

alright, are there still the errors there, and can you post your current script.

#38

I already did but I’ll do it again. There are still errors!!!

Code:

local debounce = false
local tool = script.Parent.Parent
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local function light(glow) --Highlights the hrp
	for i = 0,600,1 do
		glow.FillTransparency.Value -= .01
		task.wait(0.005)
	end
	for i = 0,600,1 do
		glow.FillTransparency.Value += .01
		task.wait(0.005)
	end
end

tool:WaitForChild("Handle").Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if debounce then return end
	-- Will run if the item that touched the handle has a Humanoid
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local humanoid = hit.Parent.Humanoid
		local glow = hit.Parent.glow
		debounce = true
		print(glow)
		light(hit.Parent)
		humanoid:TakeDamage(15)
		local Creator_Tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
		Creator_Tag.Name = "creator"
		Creator_Tag.Value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
		Debris:AddItem(Creator_Tag, 2)
		Creator_Tag.Parent = humanoid
	end
	task.wait(1) -- Change this to how much time the cooldown will take
	debounce = false
end)

Error

FillTransparency is not a valid member of Model

local debounce = false
local tool = script.Parent.Parent

local function light(glow) --Highlights the hrp
	for i = 0,600,1 do

	end
	for i = 0,600,1 do
		glow.FillTransparency.Value += .01
		task.wait(0.005)

end

tool:WaitForChild("Handle").Touched:Connect(function(hit)

	-- Will run if the item that touched the handle has a Humanoid
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local humanoid = hit.Parent.Humanoid
		local glow = hit.Parent.glow
		debounce = true
		print(glow)
		light(glow)
		humanoid:TakeDamage(15)
		local Creator_Tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
		Creator_Tag.Name = "creator"
		Creator_Tag.Value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
		Debris:AddItem(Creator_Tag, 2)
		Creator_Tag.Parent = humanoid
	end
	task.wait(1) -- Change this to how much time the cooldown will take
	debounce = false
end)

use this, now tell me the other errors when you use this script.

Here we go again… I think this was from before.
