Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I been using this script for months and never touched it and now it just now gives me errors and this is off a book I bought and learned LUA off of.

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local Humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if Humanoid then
	Humanoid:TakeDamage(7)
end

end)

Most LUA books are for the base language of Lua. For help on rbx.lua, use the Roblox Developer Hub. Can you attach the error message you’re receiving?

No, my book title is called LUA Learning for Roblox Beginners and Intermediate.

It also appears you only end your if statement and not the entire function. @DybalaplaysYT reply also fixes this, but I’d just like to point that out.

Thanks so much both of you guys! It appeared I needed the if hit then.

You should also consult the Roblox Developer Hub, as it contains the most up-to-date information; books can’t do that.

Glad to know we could help! Happy deving!
