Hitbox not detecting other players properly. mainly detects local player (Bump4)

I am trying to make a simple hitbox for my attack. for some reason it only detects the local player. it only detects the other player at a stupid position.

if you see in the first pic it only prints local player
the second pic shows how close I have to be for it to detect the second player

this is the code being used:

> local HB = Instance.new("Part")
> HB.Size = Vector3.new(3,6,5)
> HB.CanCollide = false
> HB.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
> HB.Transparency = 0.6
> HB.Anchored = true
> HB.CFrame = Char:FindFirstChild("Head").CFrame * CFrame.new(0,-1,-4)
>                 
> AttackingLoad:Play()
>                 
> HB.Parent = workspace
>                 
> Debris:AddItem(HB, 1)
>                 
> HB.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
>                     
> local Target = PS:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
> 
> if not Target or Target == Player then warn("we hit local player") return end
>                     
> Attack(Target)
> 
> end)

the attack function just prints out the hit player for now
i get that im still trash at scripting but i dont see why it shouldnt work
btw this is a local script

I would suggest using print statements to debug and see if your code is working is intended. It is possible that your comparisons may not be working properly.

the rest works. as you can see when I’m standing extremely close to the other player and attack it detects player 2. other than that it doesn’t detect
