Hi everyone I’m currently working on a Tool Ability System and I want that if I press the Tool no one can damage me for 5 second and it should have a 10 seconds cooldown I tried using chat got but um…

Maybe try setting an attribute to the player who clicked the with the shield tool and in hitting scripts check if that player has that attribute

You could try setting the MaxHealth and Health property of the Humanoid to math.huge, but to actually ignore damage it would be a bit more complicated. However, you could do something like this:

local canDamage = true
local duration = 5
local debounceTime = 10

local debounce = false
local health
local owner

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
     owner = tool.Parent
     if debounce then return end
     debounce = true
     health = owner.Humanoid.Health
     canDamage = false
     task.wait(duration)
     debounce = false
end)

owner.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
     if canDamage == false and health then
     owner.Humanoid.Health = health
     end
end)

I haven’t tested it out, but something like that should work.

I have tried it in a Local and normal script and both didn’t really work it might be because tool was underlined blue I tried fix this with this Code: local tool = script.Parent do I have to do something(Sry if annoying but I’m not a pro:[ )

You can insert a forcefield into the character:

local FF = Instance.new("ForceField", player.Character)

game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(FF, 5)
