How do i make your own tool not kill you

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

yea I can’t even cod up with how to script it. but my gaster blaster keeps killing me although I do not want that to happen. or do i just leave it like that (i don’t want to leave it like that)

#2

please help me with this mess that i am not able to fix.

#3

Check if the part that it is hitting is the child of the player.

example:

part.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if part.Parent == player.Name then 
return
elseif part.Parent.Parent == player.Name then
return
end
end)
#4

That won’t work, you’re attempting to compare a Instance with a String value :pensive:

Better to check for the Player’s Character instead:

local Tool = script.Parent
local Handle = Tool.Handle

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function() 
    local Character = Tool.Parent

    Handle.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
        if Hit.Parent ~= Character then
           --Do random stuff
        end
    end)
end)
#5

hit.name would work i was just trying to be quick

#7

wait were do i put the script in, in the model?

#8

Oh wait it’s supposed to be an actual part from a Blaster- HM

Alright so what I’d do is create a Blaster Part every time when the tool gets activated, then check if the Blaster Part that hit it is equal to the Player’s Character

If it is, then it’ll just ignore the player

Something like this perhaps?

local Tool = script.Parent
local Handle = Tool.Handle
local Character

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    local BlasterPart = Instance.new("Part")
    BlasterPart.Size = Vector3.new(50, 15, 50)
    BlasterPart.Position = Handle.Position
    BlasterPart.Anchored = true
    BlasterPart.Parent = workspace

    BlasterPart.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
        if Hit.Parent ~= Character then
           --Do random stuff
        end
    end)

end)

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    Character = Tool.Parent
end)

Also the script should be a parent of the tool (Script > Tool)

#9

but the thing is there is no part, it is a script that makes a part and it makes it shoot.

#10

W h a t

Then just make the part check if it hit the Player that cast the Blaster, you’d need to do some sanity check though (StringValue, ObjectValue, idk)

#11

Could you send a picture of the hierarchy and any scripts included in the model? I’m having a hard time understanding exactly how the tool works.

#12

use an if statement to check if its not you that got touched if its not you kill else dont kill

#13

this is the asset id. rbxassetid://6593841988

#14

That’s not what I mentioned

I meant you need to implement some type of sanity check via scripting wise

So that the Part can detect the Player that first cast it won’t damage that specific player

#15

I still don’t get it. but I will just stop with this.

#16

If you still don’t get it, then I highly encourage you to do some research on how this stuff works

We’re just giving examples on how we can help you on our situation, we can’t just give you an exact specific “script” on how your Tool/Model works as you have to figure it out on your own

#17

Easy fix once again

so, just detect if the ray/mouse hits your character and if it does then return
