Hello Devs.
So 2 weeks ago I in-countered a glitch in this hitbox that I do not know what to do or how to fix. I kinda find it embarrassed to ask for help but thats besides the point. So the thing is that it detects that the player is down even tho he player didn’t dive and its really messing up with plays and I need this fixed urgently but I don’t know what I’m doin. Please help.

Code:

local char = script.Parent
local canTackle = script:WaitForChild("canTackle")
local repStor = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local remote = repStor.Tackle
local messanger = repStor.Messages
local chains = workspace:FindFirstChild("Chains")
local flipped = chains:FindFirstChild("Flipped")
local onGround = false
local ogHit = nil

function push(dir, torso) -- small push function
	for i=1,3 do
		if not torso:FindFirstChild("WindEffect") and not torso:FindFirstChild("BlockWind") then
			local force = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
			force.Name = "WindEffect"
			force.maxForce = Vector3.new(1e7, 1e7, 1e7)
			force.P = 50
			force.Velocity = (dir * 10)
			force.Parent = torso
			game.Debris:AddItem(force, .25)
		end
	end
end

function block(dir, torso) -- big push function
	for i=1,3 do
		if not torso:FindFirstChild("BlockWind") then
			local force = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
			force.Name = "BlockWind"
			force.maxForce = Vector3.new(1e7, 1e7, 1e7)
			force.P = 125
			force.velocity =  (dir * 25)
			force.Parent = torso
			game.Debris:AddItem(force, .25)	
		end
	end
end

can you mark the specific code line where it goes wrong? there are too many lines to read that i get very confused

3 
if canTackle.Value then
					canTackle.Value = false
					local downPos = handle.Position.Z
					if char.Catch.PBUTimer.Value then
						wait(.2)
						if handle.Tucked.Value then
							redLine(handle.Position.Z)
							message(char, "", "fell", downPos, workspace.Chains.LOS.Line.Position.Z, flipped.Value)
						else
							dropBall(handle.Parent)
							messanger:FireAllClients(char.Name, "", "drop")
						end
					else
						redLine(handle.Position.Z)
						message(char, "","fell", downPos, workspace.Chains.LOS.Line.Position.Z, flipped.Value)
					end
				end
			end

I think this is it

alright so in the touched function

the function would trigger when the humanoid root part touched something and you’re thinking a player right? but there are no extra if statements to determine if what its touching is a player part or not so since none of the hit.Parent.Parent.Parent blah blah blah thing could check it since it’s not a part of the hit.Parent thingy, it will then proceed to the “else” part and i’m referring to this

i’m not very good but there’s a function near the end that sets the tackle’s value to true 5 seconds after it was set to false which can break a lot of things when incorrectly timed, i’ll give the rest to you to fix this since i dont have much time so good luck!
