Make it so when player2 attempts to damage player1 (with a tool for example), player2 takes damage instead of player1

#1

I want to make it so that if a player is harmed by another player, the other player will take the damage rather than the player who was hit. Like a reflect. I’d assume it’d be something like checking if the player takes damage, but I don’t know how to do that

How do I do that?

In the shoot function, make it so it will just take damage on the person firing the gun.

#3

I would also like to see the script.

#4

try to check if player 1 has something that can reflect. Then send data(damage) using some kind of remote event then use that damage to hurt player 2. but lets see the script first

#5

I’m trying to make the script from player 1 rather than a weapon from player 2

#6

Its better to just check if they’re able to be damaged through a module before using TakeDamage and if not then damage themselves
(Doesnt have to be a table module)

#7

Is there a way I can get the player who attacked with lets say a sword for example?

#8

A local script? Try to post the script so i can make a better understanding what what you are trying to do

#9 
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local lasthp = 100

player.Character.Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
if health < lasthp then
--not sure what im supposed to do to find the player who attacked
end
lasthp = health
end)

It’s a local script.

Yes I made a sword that had to check if the enemy was parrying and I used a module table to check.

I used my hitbox client sided and when it hit the enemy it would fire a remote with one argument of the character it hit, using that argument and the default argument of the player who sent the remote I just used a table to check if the person is parrying and if so get the player who attacked with the default remote ( aka plr.Character )

Try using some kind of hitbox to get the player hit that could mean using a module script
