How do I make a fireball ignore hits on the player's character?

Hi, how do I make sure that when I make a fireball, that ball doesn’t touch the player or the player’s accessories or hats, is there a way to do that?

Here’s a video.

Also if you want, I can show you what happens when the player throws a fireball.

Here’s my code if necessary:

-- Services
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

-- Variables
local remoteEvent = replicatedStorage.ElementsRemoteEvents.Fire.FireballRain.FireballRainRemoteEvent

-- Settings
local damage = 10

local serverDebounces = {}
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, playerMouse)
	if not serverDebounces[player] then
		serverDebounces[player] = true
		
		local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		
		local fireBlastModelClone = replicatedStorage.ElementsModels.Fire.FireBlast:Clone()
		fireBlastModelClone.CentralPart.CFrame = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-3)
		fireBlastModelClone.FieldPart.CFrame = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-3)
		fireBlastModelClone.Parent = workspace
		
		local blastExplosion = fireBlastModelClone.blastExplosionSound
		local centralPart = fireBlastModelClone.CentralPart
		local fieldPart = fireBlastModelClone.FieldPart
		
		-- Tween Variables
		local centralPartGoal = {
			Size = Vector3.new(40, 40, 40);
			Transparency = 1
		}
		
		local fieldPartGoal = {
			Size = Vector3.new(45, 45, 45);
			Transparency = 1
		}
		
		local FCPartsTweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
			3,
			Enum.EasingStyle.Quart,
			Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
			0,
			false,
			0
		) 
		
		local centralPartTween = tweenService:Create(centralPart, FCPartsTweenInfo, centralPartGoal)
		local fieldPartTween = tweenService:Create(fieldPart, FCPartsTweenInfo, fieldPartGoal)
				
		local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		bodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
		bodyVelocity.Velocity = (playerMouse.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit * 40
		bodyVelocity.Parent = centralPart
		
		local bodyVelocityTwo = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
		bodyVelocityTwo.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
		bodyVelocityTwo.Velocity = (playerMouse.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit * 40
		bodyVelocityTwo.Parent = fieldPart
		
		serverDebounces[player] = false
		debris:AddItem(fireBlastModelClone, 10)
		
		local debounce = true
		fireBlastModelClone.FieldPart.Touched:Connect(function(h)
			if h.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and h.Parent.Name ~= player.Name and debounce then
				debounce = false
				local enemy = h.Parent.Humanoid
				enemy:TakeDamage(damage)
				bodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
				bodyVelocityTwo.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
				centralPart.fireParticles:Destroy()
				blastExplosion:Play()
				centralPartTween:Play()
				fieldPartTween:Play()
				wait(3)
				fireBlastModelClone:Destroy()
				debounce = true
			else if h.Parent.Name ~= player.Name or h.Parent:IsA("Accessory") and h.Parent.Name ~= fireBlastModelClone.Name and debounce then
				debounce = false
				bodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
				bodyVelocityTwo.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
				blastExplosion:Play()
				centralPartTween:Play()
				fieldPartTween:Play()
				print("".. h.Name .." > ".. h.Parent.Name)
				wait(3)
				fireBlastModelClone:Destroy()
				debounce = true
			end
		end
	end)
end
end)

Ignore the baseplate thing, that’s correct, but the handler is not correct, you can see the parent of the handler, example: Part > Workspace

Also, any way to fix if the fireball explodes when he self touches, example central part is a fireball part, then the fireball is touching it and I dont want that.

Please help, thanks!

Simply check if the part hit is not a descendant of the player.

if not h:IsDescendantOf(character) then
    // do stuff
end

And do you know how to fix this:

“Also, any way to fix if the fireball explodes when he self touches, example central part is a fireball part, then the fireball is touching it and I dont want that.”

You can do the same thing:

if not h:IsDesecendantOf( fireBlastModelClone) then
    --do stuff
end
