Ok so this post was a bit different before, but someone helped me with the original script.
After some playtesting, I found that the script does the attack animation, but it doesn’t give it time to finish the animation entirely and sometimes it just stops midway.
I was going over this with the original helper, but they’re currently busy with their work.
How can I add a cooldown for the attack?
-- declaring variables
local teddy = script.Parent
local humanoid = teddy.Humanoid
local animation = script:WaitForChild('Attack')
local dance = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
local debounce = 0
-- special attack variables
local healthTakenFromAttack = 40
local atackCooldown = 0.8
local minDistance = 7
-- main code
local function attack(target)
if target and target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and debounce == 0 then
local distance = (teddy.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
distance = distance / 1
print(distance)
if distance < minDistance and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target) and target.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
local AttackSound = {
teddy.Head.Hit1,
teddy.Head.Hit2,
teddy.Head.Hit3
}
local chosen = AttackSound[math.random(1,#AttackSound)]
debounce = 1
chosen:Play()
target.Humanoid.Health -= 40
dance:Play()
print("YES")
wait(atackCooldown)
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target)
debounce = 0
end
end
end
-- THIS LINE OF CODE IS NOT NEEDED.

teddy.HumanoidRootPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

local character = hit.Parent

local distance = (teddy.HumanoidRootPart.Position - character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
if distance < 4 and character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
character.Humanoid.Health -= 0
wait(2)
end
end
end
end)

attack(character)
end
end
end
end

I have a place file that has the monster already set up. If you want to playtest, then feel free to PM me and I’ll give you the file
local teddy = script.Parent
local humanoid = teddy.Humanoid
local animation = script:WaitForChild('Attack')
local dance = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
local function getHumPos()
return (teddy.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
end
local attacked = false
local function attack(target, teddyPart)
local distance = (teddyPart.Position - getHumPos()).Magnitude
if distance < 4 and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target) and attacked == false then
attacked = true
target.Humanoid.Health -= 40
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target)
dance:Play()
wait(2)
attacked = false
end
end
script.Parent.Reached.Event:Connect(function(target)
if target.Character then
if target.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
target.Character.Humanoid.Health -= 40
dance:Play()
wait(2)
end
end
end)
local function detection(part, teddyPart)
if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local character = part.Parent
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) then
--Check the player is still alive (And it's not our own character)
if character.Humanoid.Health > 0 and character ~= teddy then
attack(character, teddyPart)
end
end
end
end
for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("UnionOperation") then
if not string.find(v.Name, "cloth") then
v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
detection(hit, v)
end)
end
end

Hello again @FentTamer sorry for the reply but I am just checking if you are still interested in helping me fix my script. The last time I was waiting for someone they didn’t reply until the next morning or just stopped replying entirely
Yes. The player is supposed to take 40 damage but it’s supposed to have a cooldown but it gets spammed so the player instantly dies.
How would I load the animation through the Animator?
while true do
for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA(‘Model’) and v ~= teddy then
local teddyPart = v:FindFirstChild(‘Head’) or v:FindFirstChild(‘HumanoidRootPart’) or v:FindFirstChild(‘Torso’)
if teddyPart then
attack(v, teddyPart)
end
end
end
wait(1)
end
Your script isn’t working because animation:Play() is not a valid function; you should use humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation):Play() instead.
while true do
for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA(‘Model’) and v ~= teddy then
local teddyPart = v:FindFirstChild(‘Head’) or v:FindFirstChild(‘HumanoidRootPart’) or
v:FindFirstChild(‘Torso’)
if teddyPart then
attack(v, teddyPart)
end
end
end
wait(1)
end
Sorry for late reply, I had to do something and I completely forgot about it ;-;
Anyways.
No, this is not a custom rig, and also someone already helped me with the monster AI. I just need to find a way to make the cooldown long enough so the animation fully plays and the player can get away in time.
its probably something to do with v.touched firing multiple times at the same time. maybe have a debounce at the .touched event instead?
you also have to understand, you seem to go throughout the the script.parent descendants so its also possible that other parts are also activating hit simultaneously
Sorry I’m going to edit the post. Someone already solved the issue, now I just need to figure out how to make the animation have time to finish entirely.
, but I’m glad it works now.
