How do i make attack only hit npcs

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

it doesn’t work

#22

hitpart is unknown

#23

Of course it is, use your own name (hit).

#24

Replace hitpart with hit, it should work after that

#25

You should try to understand the code, if you don’t understand what something does then ask.

#26

oh ok, should i remove this code?

	local function FindHumanoid(hit)
			local part = hit.Parent

			if part:FindFirstChild("npchum") then
				return part:FindFirstChild("npchum")
			elseif part.Parent:FindFirstChild("npchum") then
				return part.Parent:FindFirstChild("npchum")
			end
		end
#27

Actually yes the function is not needed but may make an error if you use it, you can just put the contents of the function into the script

#28

Yes, the method I’ve used basically checks if the character is controlled by a player.

However if you want to make some characters not get hit then you can simply add a value into them and along my player check add an “or” along.

if player or Character:FindFirstChild(yourvalue) then return end

only if you need to do that, if all non player characters should be hit then you only need the player check.

#29 
Wave.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit:IsA("BasePart") then
print("Wave was touched")
			if not hit:IsDescendantOf(game.Workspace.Mobs.NPC) then
				local EHum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("npchum")
				if EHum then
print("Has a humanoid")
					local debounce = Instance.new("BoolValue", EHum)
					debounce.Name = "Debounce"
					Debris:AddItem(debounce,.75)
					
					EHum:TakeDamage(Damage)
				end
			end
		end
end)

Maybe we should add prints to see where the script stops working

#30

The script should stop working when there’s an error, which can be seen from the output.

#31

What’s the error or warning that it says in the output?

#32

doesnt do anything and no errors in output

#33

Have you tried using the code I sent with the prints?

#34

yes, but it didn’t print

#35 
Wave.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
print("Wave was touched1")
		if hit:IsA("BasePart") then
print("Wave was touched2")
			if not hit:IsDescendantOf(game.Workspace.Mobs.NPC) then
				local EHum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("npchum")
				if EHum then
print("Has a humanoid")
					local debounce = Instance.new("BoolValue", EHum)
					debounce.Name = "Debounce"
					Debris:AddItem(debounce,.75)
					
					EHum:TakeDamage(Damage)
				end
			end
		end
end)

try this I added another print

#36

alright so it only printed the first 2 not the third

#37

Could you send a screenshot of the objects in the workspace in the explorer?
