im trying to make it so that you can’t damage a friendly npc, but you cant damage nobody for some reason


			if not closecharacter.Parent.Name == "FriendlyNPCs" then
				if closecharacter.HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("IsBlocking") then
				          print("can attack")
						end	
					else
						-- your behind him
						if 	(closecharacter.HumanoidRootPart.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude < 7 then
							print("hitting from behind")	
						end
					end
				else
					closecharacter.Humanoid:TakeDamage(7)
					end)
				end
			end
		end
		player.FistXp.Value = player.FistXp.Value + 1
	end
end)

Maybe try changing this line to

if closecharacter.Parent.Name ~= "FriendlyNPCs" then

Where does it stop printing?

#3

it does not print can attack at all, doesnt even get inside the if statement

#4

So it neither prints can attack nor hitting from behind? I think it has to be the condition I pointed out, maybe try changing that line to what I suggested?

#5

yep, i tested, and it works, I honestly didnt know this until now, thanks for the help

Anytime! That if statement did make me question if that was t he cause since I never saw that be made like that, I think the code thought you were trying to see if the name was false/empty and then compared false to “FriendlyNPCs”, but we can only speculate on taht

If you have anymore issues don’t be afraid to make another post!
