The model and animation are both R6. (“blocky avatar”)

#7

Have you tested in a copy of the MountainMan model if the animation works?? Just a script that plays the animation or using it in the animation tester

#8

Yes I tested it earlier and it works on different R6 models.

I see a few issues with the script you provided:

  1. In the attack function, you are decreasing the target’s health by 40, but in the Reached event, you are also decreasing it by 40. This means that if the target is in range of the teddy, their health will be decreased by 80.
  2. You are using the wait function in the attack function and in the Reached event. This will pause the script for 2 seconds, which might cause problems if the script is being called frequently.
  3. The attack function has a distance check, but it is not being used in the Reached event. This means that the player’s health will be decreased even if they are not close to the teddy.

To fix these issues, you can try the following:

  1. Remove the target.Character.Humanoid.Health -= 40 line from the Reached event, since it is already being decreased in the attack function.
  2. Remove the wait(2) lines from both the attack function and the Reached event.
  3. Use the distance check in the Reached event to only attack the player if they are close enough to the teddy. You can do this by adding an if statement before the attack function is called, like this:
local function attack(target, teddyPart)
    local distance = (teddyPart.Position - getHumPos()).Magnitude
    if distance < 4 and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target) then
        target.Humanoid.Health -= 40
        local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target)
        dance:Play()
    end
end

script.Parent.Reached.Event:Connect(function(target)
    if target.Character then
        if target.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
            local distance = (target.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - getHumPos()).Magnitude
            if distance < 4 then
                attack(target.Character, script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart)
            end
        end
    end
end)

Thanks for the help, but this did not work. The player immediately died when going near the monster.

There could be a couple of issues that might be causing this problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot:

  1. Make sure that you are using the correct target in the attack function. The target you pass to the attack function should be the player’s character, not the player object itself. You can get the player’s character using the target.Character property.
  2. Make sure that the distance check in the attack function is using the correct parts for the distance calculation. The distance should be calculated between the teddy’s root part and the player’s humanoid root part. You can use the .Position property of these parts to get their positions and then use the .Magnitude property of the resulting vector to get the distance.
  3. Make sure that the attack function is only being called when the player is within range of the teddy. You can do this by adding an if statement before calling the attack function in the Reached event, like this:
if distance < 4 then
    attack(target.Character, script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart)
end
  1. Make sure that the attack function is correctly decreasing the player’s health. You can do this by adding some print statements to the function to see what is happening:
local function attack(target, teddyPart)
    local distance = (teddyPart.Position - getHumPos()).Magnitude
    if distance < 4 and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target) then
        print("Attacking player with health", target.Humanoid.Health)
        target.Humanoid.Health -= 40
        print("Player has health", target.Humanoid.Health)
        local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target)
        dance:Play()
    end
end

I hope these suggestions help! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I appreciate the help but I would like someone to help me instead of an AI. …People tend to know what I’m talking about instead of bots :sweat_smile:

Hello, I am doing a follow up on this comment. Yes, I tested it earlier and it works on different R6 models.

#14

Hi, are you sure its the model you put this script in though??

#15

yes that’s why i sent the photo of the model. the script’s name is Kill.

#16

No, I meant, have you tested if the animation works on the model that the animation doesn’t work on?? Like, copied the model, tested iif the same animation worked, but no other scripts, and see if that made a difference?

If you are still confused, feel free to send the model over so I can test it

#17

Yes, I tested an animation loop and it looks like it works fine in the clone

#18

Hmm… Is it possible you could send the model over??

#19

Ok I will send you the model. Sorry I just got home from school 2 hours ago

Here is the file.

#21

Can someone help me with these problems?

I fixed the problems, I had to move the wait(2) to the attack function, and put a while loop around it and made it while target.Humanoid.Health > 0.
