Melee Weapon Damage Issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I recently returned to developing on Roblox

Keep in mind this is my first post

I’ve created a system when the player presses ‘e’, it damages another player. The problem is that I can’t figure out how to damage that player which the weapon is touching without it damaging the player itself.

I’ve tried looking on the dev forums and scriptinghelpers, but the results either spammed the console and still damaged the player or didn’t hurt the other player at all. I’ve also tried disabling and enabling the damage script, it worked, but it won’t register as a kill.

Again this is my first post, sorry if this is not enough detail, I can provide more if requested.

Thank You For Your Time :smiley:!

are you using touched on the handle if so just ignore the player like this:

local player = -- get the player
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent ~= character and hit.Parent.Parent ~= character then
--get the human, hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("")
-- after do humanoid:TakeDamage(however you want)
      end
end)
#3

Alright, I’ll try it out and tell you if it works or not. Thanks regardless

#4

I edit the script (Normal Script), but it still does not seem to work

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local humanoid = character.Humanoid
	
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent ~= character and hit.Parent.Parent ~= character then
		hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
		humanoid:TakeDamage(35)
		end
	end)
end)

I’m quite bad at scripting, I’m very sorry if this is frustrating,

#5

you do not get the humanoid from the character get it from the enemy

local humanoid = hit.Parent:blahblahblah
#6

Where is this script located? And if it is in a tool why are you using PlayerAdded. Try to wacth some tutorials.

#7

Fire a remote event from the local script to get the player from the normal script and receive it from the normal script.

I Figured It Out, Thanks For Your Help
