Need help with creating a "Battling Brawl" minigame (similar to survivor)

Hi! I’ll get straight to the point. I’m trying to make a minigame similar to Survivors where if you click and your stick is touching another player, that player will sit. Here is an Example

I tried to make some code that I assumed would work but sadly it doesn’t, I’m not sure what is wrong with it but I’m not too advanced in scripting so :man_shrugging:. How would you all go about it? This is my code, it is inside of the Roblox Sword Tool Sword Script:

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse)
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Sit = true
	end)
  end)
end)

Is the sword script a local script? if so then I don’t think it’s possible to make humanoids sit locally and so you would need to send a remote event to the server.

It is not a local script, no, so I’m unsure as to why it still won’t work. How would you go about doing this?

I would try looking at the default Roblox linked sword for tips on how to organize functions within an event, currently your script is quite messy to read and understand as a result:

Tool.Activated:Connect(Activated)

Tool.Equipped:Connect(Equipped)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(Unequipped)

Connection = Handle.Touched:Connect(Blow)

Moreover, have you tried print debugging? put this into your script and see if the touch event is happening.

print(hit.Parent)

EDIT: Nvm I think I found the issue

Since you mentioned this:

Player inputs only work on local script as the server cannot read the players keyboard

Ok so, I put the code in a local script and it semi-works.
I put the debug in too, now it prints “Worked” if you touch a player with the sword, but it doesn’t make them sit, I’m not sure why it won’t work as I have plenty of scripts using the same sit code that work. Do you think you know what might be going on?

#6

Actually who is gonna sit the player who is holding the stick or the person who gets hit by the stick?

#7

If you’re looking for what I am trying to achieve, see the video I linked.

Its an odd trade off if you put it in a local script then the mouse button1 down works but because of client replication you cannot change a humanoid’s status locally due to exploiter prevention

try putting this in your server script instead, this should work but without the mouse down input just on touch

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function(Mouse)
		script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Sit = true
		end)
end)

Thank you! This worked!! :smiley:

put the touch event into a variable before the events and disconnect once you think it is not valid anymore.
Or else it will generate a lot of events that lags your game
