How do you make a projectile?

Thanks but I guess I actually didn’t find the solution it still damages me when I fire it even though I fired it.

#24

I mean you could just simply exclude the Character that cast the Fireball in the first place if you want that instead, that’d be easier to do

#25

Okay but how so should I do this?

#27

Since we have the Caster’s Character, we can just simply check if the Character that we hit is equal to the Caster or not

local FireballDamage = 25
local DB = false

Clone.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
    local Target = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)

    if not DB and Target and Target ~= Character then
        local Character = Hit.Parent
        DB = true
        Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(FireballDamage)
        wait(1)
        DB = false
    end
end)

Try this?

#28

ServerScriptService.Fireball:32: Expected ‘end’ (to close ‘function’ at line 6), got ; did you forget to close ‘then’ at line 25?

#29

You missed an end somewhere, this should be your full-on script?

--Server Script inside ServerScriptService
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local Fireball = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Fireball")
local Speed = 80
local Offset = 10

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
    local Character = Player.Character

    local Clone = Fireball:Clone()
    Clone.Parent = workspace
    Clone.Position = Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position + Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * Offset

    local BodyVel = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
    BodyVel.Parent = Clone
    BodyVel.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)

    BodyVel.Velocity = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * Speed

    local FireballDamage = 25
    local DB = false

    Clone.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
        local Target = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)

        if not DB and Target and Target ~= Player then
            local TargetChar = Hit.Parent
            DB = true
            TargetChar.Humanoid:TakeDamage(FireballDamage)
            wait(1)
            DB = false
        end
    end)

end)

In all honesty it didn’t work, but I don’t need it to work since when I was testing I set the offset to 0, but really I only need the offset to 5 so for me it’s an +A thanks for your help.

Gotcha, well if you do need the script to not-detect the caster I (HOPEFULLY) fixed it this time

I was referencing 2 different things yet again, fun
