Part doesn't scale players body

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I have tried making a power up in my game that would shrink the player down, however on touch it doesn’t work. No errors seem to be popping up. Anyone know of a way to make this work?

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(touched)
	if touched.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		Humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if Humanoid then
			Humanoid.HeadScale *= 0.5
			Humanoid.BodyDepthScale *= 0.5
			Humanoid.BodyWidthScale *= 0.5
			Humanoid.BodyHeightScale *= 0.5
		end
	end)
		script.Parent.Transparency = 0.50
		wait(10)
		Humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if Humanoid then
			Humanoid.HeadScale *= 2
			Humanoid.BodyDepthScale *= 2
			Humanoid.BodyWidthScale *= 2
			Humanoid.BodyHeightScale *= 2
end
end)
		script.Parent.Transparency = 1
	end
end)

(The transparency lines just make the part transparent to show the player picked them up)

First of all, you should probably use FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA(“Model”) instead of touched.Parent. If it touches an accessory it will not work, although this isn’t necessary.
With scaling, I think it should be = 0.5, rather than *= 0.5. (Same with the *= 2)

Removing the * doesn’t seem to work.

You just made a common mistake, the values you are trying to change are actual NumberValues/IntValues inside of the Humanoid (not a property of it). You just need to change it’s .Value instead of the whole instance.

local canTouch = true

local function multiplyScale(Humanoid, Scale)
	if Humanoid then
		Humanoid.HeadScale.Value *= Scale
		Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value *= Scale
		Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value *= Scale
		Humanoid.BodyHeightScale *= Scale
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hitPart)
	local Model = hitPart:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
	if Model then
		local Humanoid = Model:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
		if Humanoid then
			canTouch = false
			script.Parent.Transparency = 0.5
			multiplyScale(Humanoid, 0.5)
			task.wait(10)
			multiplyScale(Humanoid, 2)
			script.Parent.Transparency = 0
			canTouch = true
		end
	end
end)

This gives me an error that the HeadScale, BodyDepthScale, etc. isn’t a valid member of Humanoid.

HeadScale is not a valid member of Humanoid “Workspace.player.Humanoid”
