I need help with CollectionServer

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!

This is my AoE damage (didn’t work)

for _, Target in pairs(CollectionService:GetTagged("PlrHumanoids")) do
	if Target:IsA("Model") and Target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and Target.Parent.Name ~= Character.Name then --Checking if we have a valid model
		connection2:Disconnect()
		local Humanoid = Target
		local RootPart = Target.HumanoidRootPart
		if (RootPart.Position - LightBombClone.Position).Magnitude < Radius then --Checking if there are Targets in range of the AOE
			connection2:Disconnect()
			Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
		end
	end
end

and this is my way to catch all players’ humanoids, why it didn’t work?

in ServerScriptService:

local CollectionServer = game:GetService("CollectionService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
	local Hum = Plr:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	CollectionServer:AddTag(Hum, "PlrHumanoids")
	print(Hum)
	print(CollectionServer:GetTagged("PlrHumanoids"))
end)`

Why are you disconnecting your function twice? Couldn’t you just remove those?

#3

lag reduction, if possible I would like you to focus on my question, I need help, i’ll fix it later

#4

Could you print out what Target is before you start your conditional checks?

#5

do you know how to use magnitude?

#6

You’re using Magnitude right, the issue is that either the GetTagged function returned back by the loop isn’t finding anything, or you’re not referencing a variable correctly

Actually looking at it again, you’re referencing Target as the Humanoid, and this line here would result in an error:

Change that to

local RootPart = Target.Parent.HumanoidRootPart

It didn’t work, i think this will help you…

local CollectionServer = game:GetService("CollectionService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
	local Hum = Plr:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	CollectionServer:AddTag(Hum, "PlrHumanoids")
	print(Hum)
	print(CollectionServer:GetTagged("PlrHumanoids"))
end)

Player objects don’t have a Humanoid object inside them, you have to reference their Character first if you want to add them to the PlrHumanoids table

local CollectionServer = game:GetService("CollectionService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Plr)
    Plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	    local Hum = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	    CollectionServer:AddTag(Hum, "PlrHumanoids")
	    print(Hum)
	    print(CollectionServer:GetTagged("PlrHumanoids"))
    end)
end)

Ok wut how

Now I’m just confused, that should work though?

Try referencing the string as a global variable instead?

#11

how? i don’t know how to use CollectionService

If you don’t even know how to use it, I’d recommend looking at this post:
