Humanoid TakeDamage() on touch

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am making one tool and the part (spray) when hits the character doesnt happen only 1 time (basicly makes a lot of damage)

You can see on the script only makes 35 damage on head and 20 if hit other part but on the gif is like hit kill.

Gif: 

local debounce = false

local spray = script.Parent
local sound = spray.HitSound
sound.TimePosition = 4
local sound2 = spray.FloorHit

local function player_check(otherPart)
	if not otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end
	local Attacker = spray:FindFirstChild("Attacker")

	if Attacker then
		local humanoid = otherPart.Parent.Humanoid
		local character = humanoid.Parent
		local humanoidRoot = character.HumanoidRootPart

		if humanoid.Parent.Name ~= spray.Attacker.Value then	 
			if otherPart.Name == "Head" then
				sound:Play()
				sound2:Play()
				humanoid:TakeDamage(35)
			else
				sound:Play()
				sound2:Play()
				humanoid:TakeDamage(20)
			end
		end
		debounce = false
	end
end


spray.Touched:Connect(player_check)


game.Debris:AddItem(spray, 2.5)

This is happening because the spray is touching multiple parts of the body multiple times. So it’s taking more and more damage.

#3

You are not setting debounce to true,

local db = false
if db == false then
db = true
-- your code and maybe wait()?
db = false
end

True I made db bc I was trying to think about one cooldown but after I didnt use it bc I thought using cooldown on damage can be unless.

#5

If you don’t make db or cooldown, it will be like the gif you sent.

#6

Alr so I set db to true when it touch and this will not damage multiple times and the sound will still play?

#7

If you did it correctly and put wait, yes.

#8

Ok it works but sometimes this still make hit kill.

#9

Okay, so I think we need to have another debounce, maybe? Can you show your new code so I can check and say something about it.

#10 
local debounce = false

local spray = script.Parent
local sound = spray.HitSound
sound.TimePosition = 4
local sound2 = spray.FloorHit

local function player_check(otherPart)
	if not debounce then
		debounce = true
		sound:Play()	
		sound2:Play()
		if not otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end	
		local Attacker = spray:FindFirstChild("Attacker")
		if Attacker then
			local humanoid = otherPart.Parent.Humanoid	
			local character = humanoid.Parent	
			local humanoidRoot = character.HumanoidRootPart
			if humanoid.Parent.Name ~= spray.Attacker.Value then
				if otherPart.Name == "Head" then		
					humanoid:TakeDamage(35)	
				else
					humanoid:TakeDamage(20)
				end
				debounce = false
			end
		end
	end
end

spray.Touched:Connect(player_check)
game.Debris:AddItem(spray, 2.5)
