DEVLocalPlayer:

Damage multiple times, but not the already hit players. To do so, we can use tables.
local alreadyHit = {}
When the Humanoid of a player has been damaged, you can use table.insert(alreadyHit,OtherHumanoid)
And to actually prevent the damage to the already hit humanoids, you’ll have to put an if statement to check it before the OtherHumanoid is damaged.
local OtherHumanoid = h.Parent.Humanoid
if table.find(alreadyHit, OtherHumanoid) then
       return
end
OtherHumanoid:TakeDamage(10)
Completely stop damaging other humanoids when one is hit. We can use only a variable, or a debounce, for this.
local hasHit = false
Then check if there already was a hit (in the Touched function) with
if hasHit then
   return
end
local OtherHumanoid = h.Parent.Humanoid
OtherHumanoid:TakeDamage(10)

@DEVLocalPlayer

Thank you for this!

but where would i insert a script like this? what line specifically?

Here’s the script

--Local stuff
local tool = script.Parent
local CoolDown = script.Cooldown.Value
local animation = script.Animation --Put the name of the animation here!
local damage = (10) --damage amount


local connection = nil
--Config
--You can change Cooldown.
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	local humanoid = tool.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid')
	if humanoid and CoolDown == false then
		CoolDown = true
		local playanim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation) 
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Parent)--the player 
		local character = player.Character 
		print("Working 2!")
		playanim:Play() 
		--Damage Script
		connection = character["Right Arm"].Touched:Connect(function(h)
			if h.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
				local OtherHumanoid = h.Parent.Humanoid
				OtherHumanoid:TakeDamage(10)
			end
		end)
		print("Working 3!")
		wait(0.5)
		playanim:Stop()
		print("Working 4!")
		wait(0.4)
		print("Working 5!")
		CoolDown = false
		print("Working 6!")
	end
end)

print("Working 2!")
playanim:Play() 
--Damage Script
local hasHit = false
connection = character["Right Arm"].Touched:Connect(function(h)
if h.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
    if hasHit then return end
	local OtherHumanoid = h.Parent.Humanoid
	OtherHumanoid:TakeDamage(10)
    hasHit = true
end
end)
print("Working 3!")
wait(0.5)
playanim:Stop()
connection:Disconnect()
print("Working 4!")
wait(0.4)

(This uses method 2, one hit only)
