How to find who is using the tool

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

not printing anything, script:

local tr = true
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Tool = script.Parent
local Script = script
local Animation =  Tool:WaitForChild("HitAnim1")
local HoldAnim = Tool:WaitForChild("HoldAnim")
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Hit1 = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(Animation)
local Hold = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(HoldAnim)
local PlayerEquiped = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	Hold:Play()
end)

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if tr == true then
		Hit1:Play() 
		script.Parent.Slash:Play()
		tr = false
		wait(0.5)
		tr = true
	end		
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	Hold:Stop()
end)


Tool.Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	print("touched", hit)

	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		-- It's a player
		local otherPlayer = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

		if otherPlayer then
			if otherPlayer.Team.Name ~= Player.Team.Name then 
				print(otherPlayer.Name, "is not on the same team.")
			end
		end
	end
end)

video of me using it:

team script (just in case this has anything to do with it)

local teams = game:GetService("Teams"):GetChildren()
local team1 = game.Teams.Blue
local team = game.Teams.Red
local teamtrue = false

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if teamtrue == false then
		if player.Team == nil then
			player.Team = team
			teamtrue = true	
		end
	end
	if teamtrue == true then
		if player.Team == nil then
			player.Team = team1
			teamtrue = false
		end
	end
end)

That’s odd since it worked for me smoothly. I would try adding parts around the workspace to even see if it is getting touched any where else.

Also please ensure the tool has canTouch on.

local tr = true
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Tool = script.Parent
local Script = script


local Animation =  Tool:WaitForChild("HitAnim1")
local HoldAnim = Tool:WaitForChild("HoldAnim")
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Hit1 = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(Animation)
local Hold = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(HoldAnim)
local PlayerEquiped = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	Hold:Play()
end)

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if tr == true then
		Hit1:Play() 
		script.Parent.Slash:Play()
		tr = false
		wait(0.5)
		tr = true
	end		
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	Hold:Stop()
end)


Tool.Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	print("touched", hit)

	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		-- It's a player   -- i belive the problem is here where mine says player instead of players is -----that a problem?
		local otherPlayer = Player:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)

		if otherPlayer then
			if otherPlayer.Team.Name ~= Player.Team.Name then 
				print(otherPlayer.Name, "is not on the same team.")
			end
		end
	end
end)

I see the issue now, You need to use Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
