How would i make Hitbox generated by OverlapsParam acts like touched event?

So err, this time I’m trying to make a walking Crusher-like object.
Basically what i want is when the Crusher hits an humanoid It’ll instantly vanish that hit object.

Here’s the code that I have been struggling with.
The code works well at first but when there’s another instance it just stopped working, no error.

local overlapsParam = OverlapParams.new()
overlapsParam.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Include
overlapsParam.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.Unit:GetChildren()}

local rs = game:GetService("RunService")

rs.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local snailMain = snail.Torso.Torso
	local bounds = game.Workspace:GetPartBoundsInBox(snailMain.CFrame,Vector3.new(12,12,12),overlapsParam)
	
	local hitList = {}
	
	for i,Contents in pairs(bounds) do
		local e_character = Contents.Parent
		local e_Hum = e_character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

		if e_Hum then
			if not hitList[e_Hum] then
				hitList[e_Hum] = true
				e_Hum:TakeDamage(e_Hum.Health)
			end

		end
	end

	
end)

I am curious why you’re doing this as a heartbeat check instead of an actual .touched event?
Using a transparent box if needed.

Cuz i wanna try using OverlapsParams because it’s an alternative for hitbox.

What’s your setup as far as where this script (snail is the crusher I’m guesing) vs. the units it’s supposed to be hitting.

It seems like the problem may be your your overlap filter. If when you said ‘it breaks after adding another instance’ means it breaks after adding another unit?
Because this filter would be randomly picking one of the ‘Unit’ children under workspace if there are multiple.

overlapsParam.FilterDescendantsInstances = {workspace.Unit:GetChildren()}
