Looped Damage on part

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Basicly I tried doing when the player leaves the part then the damage stops. But it stacks because of touched is ran per part. If I tried putting it as an another function it would just damage 1 player. What should I do :confused:

--// Local Variables
local part = script.Parent
local kill = false
local killing = false

--// Set-Up
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit:IsDescendantOf(part) then return end
	if killing == false then
		killing = true
		local plr
		local hum
		if not plr and not hum then
			if kill == false then
				if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
					plr = hit.Parent
					hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
				elseif hit.Parent:IsA("Accessory") then
					plr = hit.Parent.Parent
					hum = hit.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
				end
				repeat
					hum:TakeDamage(8.5)
					wait(0.25)
				until killing == false or hum.Health == 0
			end
		end
	end
end)
part.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	if killing == true then
		killing = false
	end
end)

I don’t really understand what you are trying to do here, do you just want the player to get damaged when they touch the part?

Maybe you should try adding something into player’s character to indicate that if they’re touching the part or not.

I tried making a simple tag system or something along the line like that yea.

-- simple tag system
local part = script.Parent
local kill = false
local killing = false

--// Set-Up
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
		local character = hit.Parent
		local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
		if not character:FindFirstChild("IsBeingDamage") then
			local tag = Instance.new("Model")
			tag.Name = "IsBeingDamage"
			tag.Parent = character
			while wait(1) and tag ~= nil and tag:IsDescendantOf(character) do
				humanoid:TakeDamage(5)
			end
		end
	end
end)
part.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("IsBeingDamage") then
		hit.Parent.IsBeingDamage:Destroy()
	end
end)

Perhaps you want to apply a regular loop that ticks the damage on the player. Instead of using TouchEnded, rely on the GetTouchingParts:

so far from what I see this might be possible. Will try it out.

Okey did some configurations and it worked! Tysm
