Sword doing damage

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I just want advice/tips on how I should add damage to my sword/melee combat.

I was planning to add like the lava bricks to the sword’s blade but I dont think it will work and also the animation might make it kill you instead.

thx

Get the script from the oringal ROBLOX sword, and kinda fix it.

@Forummer just gave a great script which helped me out a lot. Simply create a part named “blade” which will act as your hitbox. I assume you know how to weld parts already.

here is the script:

local tool = script.Parent
local blade = tool:WaitForChild("Handle") --change name if necessary
local swingConn
local debounce = false

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	swingConn = blade.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if debounce then
			return
		end
		local enemyHum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if enemyHum then
			debounce = true
			enemyHum:TakeDamage(10) --damage, change damage if necessary
		end
		task.wait(0.5) --cooldown, change if necessary
		debounce = false
	end)
end)

tool.Deactivated:Connect(function()
	if swingConn then
		swingConn:Disconnect()
	end
end)

the script goes inside the tool

also heres a script which will play animations with your tool (not sure if you already have a script) but this is the system im using along with the previous script i replied with.

wait(3)
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
Animation1 = Player.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Slices)
Animation2 = Player.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Spin)
Animation3 = Player.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.BackFlipStab)
Animation4 = Player.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.DownSlice)
CanFly = true

script.Parent.Parent.Activated:connect(function()
	local Fly = math.random(1,5)
	 if Fly == 1 and CanFly == true then
		Animation1:Play()
		CanFly = false
		wait(1.35)
		CanFly = true
		
		else if Fly == 2 and CanFly == true then
		Animation2:Play()
		CanFly = false
		wait(1.35)
		CanFly = true
		
		 else if Fly == 3 and CanFly == true then
		Animation3:Play()
		CanFly = false
		wait(0.7)
		CanFly = true
		
		else if Fly == 4 and CanFly == true then
		Animation4:Play()
		CanFly = false
		wait(0.7)
		CanFly = true
		
		   end
		end
		end
	    end
	    end)
