Still able to hit while blocking

I’m using attributes to check everything, so when I block I set a blocking attribute to true, And in the other script I set can_hit and can_heavy to false when the blocking, stunned, or iframes attribute is true.

(CombatManager)

local CAS = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

local Combat_Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Combat_Event

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character
local humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Heavy_Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Heavy_Event

local can_heavy = true

local combo = 1
local last_hit = 0

local can_hit = true

local lastM1 = os.clock()

if humanoid:GetAttribute("Blocking", true) == true or humanoid:GetAttribute("Stunned", true) == true then
	can_heavy = false
	can_hit = false
end

BlockUser

local block_event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Block_Event

block_event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character
	local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	hum:SetAttribute("Blocking", true)
	print("blocking")
	hum:SetAttribute("Parry", true)
	task.wait(0.2)
	hum:SetAttribute("Parry", false)
end)

local unblock_event = game.ReplicatedStorage.Unblock_Event

unblock_event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local character = player.Character
	local hum = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	hum:SetAttribute("Blocking", false)
	print("stopped blocking")
end)

anything im missing?

When calling :GetAttribute(), it’s only meant to have the name of the Attribute you’re looking for, without a second argument.

Updating that to directly check if each of the humanoid:GetAttribute("AttributeName") calls are equal to true would resolve one aspect of that.

Example

if
    humanoid:GetAttribute("Blocking") == true
    or humanoid:GetAttribute("Stunned") == true
then

Another problem that may be occurring is that the condition is only checked for once (when the script runs for the first time) because it is not being included in a loop or function that would be able to check again if either of those Attributes are equal to true. If you want to update the can_heavy and can_hit variables every time those Attributes are updated to true, you can use :GetAttributeChangedSignal() to detect when its value changes.

Example Revision

local function updateCanVariables(attributeName)
    local attributeValue == humanoid:GetAttribute(attributeName)

    if attributeValue == true
        can_heavy = false
        can_hit = false
    end
end

humanoid:GetAttributeChangedSignal("Blocking"):Connect(function()
    updateCanVariables("Blocking")
end)

humanoid:GetAttributeChangedSignal("Stunned"):Connect(function()
    updateCanVariables("Stunned")
end)

I attempted to use the hum:GetAttributeChangedSignal(“Blocking”):Connect(function()
but it only fires one time?

nevermind it was an issue in a different script lol
