How to make it so the gun does not affect the player and only the zombies

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve? I’m trying to achieve to make a system were you cannot hit other players, but you can only hit the zombies. (Due to abuse, as this is for an event.)

  2. What is the issue? I have these guns, and I am a beginner so I dont really know what I do.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I looked at the developer hub but there was no help there.

You could try adding a bool value into the zombie and if your weapon detects the bool value then it will take the amount of damage required. (my first post, sorry if its wrong)

#3

What about the players, will it cause any damage to them?

#4

No, unless that the bool value is also inside the players character. Could you show me the script where it deals the damage and maybe I can help some more.

That is the reload function for the gun, can you show me the part where the damage is dealt ? sorry I’m really bad at this lol

Sorry, I’m getting very confused I’m not sure If I can help. sorry

#10

For situations like these where you want a certain group of people to get affected by something, I’d use CollectionService, where you can tag specific NPCs as Zombies and Players as Players.

#11

Uh, I believe bool value is choice.

#12

I place a bool value in just the zombies or the player?

#13

Zombies, Make sure when hit, :FindFirstChild(“Value”) if it doesn’t exist, function just ends. Or if it exists, fire remote event.

#14

should i put it in a single script?

#15

if touch then
hitRemote:FireServer(touch)

end

Make it checks if there is BoolValue

You can make an Anti-Team kill script

function onHumanoidDied(humanoid, player)
		local killer = getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)
		if (killer ~= nil) then
		handleTKs(player, killer)
		end
end

function onPlayerRespawn(property, player)
	
	if property == "Character" and player.Character ~= nil then
		local humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid
			local p = player
			local h = humanoid
			humanoid.Died:connect(function() onHumanoidDied(h, p) end )
	end
end

function getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)

	local tag = humanoid:findFirstChild("creator")

	if tag ~= nil then
		local killer = tag.Value
		if killer.Parent ~= nil then 
			return killer
		end
	end

	return nil
end

function handleTKs(player, killer)
	if (killer.TeamColor == player.TeamColor) then
	killer.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
	end
end

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
		while true do
			if newPlayer.Character ~= nil then break end
			wait(3)
		end

		local humanoid = newPlayer.Character.Humanoid

		humanoid.Died:connect(function() onHumanoidDied(humanoid, newPlayer) end )
		newPlayer.Changed:connect(function(property) onPlayerRespawn(property, newPlayer) end )
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

Put this script inside the gun(s)
