Sword OnTouch Error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I wish to create a sword that can hit an enemy multiple times without having to untouch the enemy to damage it again.

  2. What is the issue?
    To deal damage, you have to hit the enemy, and untouch it with the sword just to hit it again. It’s a system that doesn’t flow well and I just want the player to be able to hit the enemy while standing right next to it. When I tested, if I kept the sword touching the enemy while attacking it, only the first attack would deal damage, I believe this is due to the Touch function only running on the first touch and believes that the sword is still touching the enemy.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I was and still am assuming it has something to do with the Touched function. I tried tagging enemies and using raycasts but I was unable to do so successfully. I looked for solutions on here but was unable to find any that applied to my situation.

If anyone has any ideas I’m up for grabs.

My Sword Script:

--==-- Object Variables --==--

local Sword = script.Parent
local Handle = Sword:WaitForChild("Handle")

local SwordAttackSound = Handle:WaitForChild("SwordSlash")
local SwordUnsheathSound = Handle:WaitForChild("Unsheath")

local SlashAnim = Sword:WaitForChild("SlashAnim")


--==-- Configurations --==--

local Configuration = require(Sword:WaitForChild("ConfigurationModule"))

local DamageRange = Configuration.DamageRange
local Cooldown = Configuration.Cooldown

local SwordName = Configuration.SwordName
Sword.Name = SwordName
local SwordColor = Configuration.SwordColor
Handle.Color = SwordColor

local SellValue = Configuration.SellValue

local Purchasable = Configuration.Purchasable
if Purchasable then
	local Shop = Configuration.Shop
	local SwordPrice = Configuration.SwordPrice
	local RequiredLevel = Configuration.RequiredLevel
end

if Configuration.SwordSlashID ~= nil then
	SwordAttackSound.SoundId = Configuration.SwordSlashID
end
if Configuration.SwordUnsheathID ~= nil then
	SwordUnsheathSound.SoundId = Configuration.SwordUnsheathID
end

Sword.ToolTip = DamageRange[1].."-"..DamageRange[2].." DMG"

if Configuration.SwingAnim ~= nil then
	SlashAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..Configuration.SwingAnim
end
if Configuration.EquipAnim ~= nil then
	EquipAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..Configuration.EquipAnim
end
if Configuration.IdleAnim ~= nil then
	IdleAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://"..Configuration.IdleAnim
end


--==-- Misc Variables --==--

local CanSwing = true
local CanDamage = false

--==-- Functions --==--

function Equipped()
	SwordUnsheathSound:Play()
end

function UnEquipped()
	--> Ignore this and the Equipped function
end

function Slash()
	if CanSwing then
		CanDamage = true
		CanSwing = false

		local Humanoid = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local slashAnimTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(SlashAnim)

		SwordAttackSound:Play()
	
		slashAnimTrack:Play(0)

		task.wait(Cooldown) --> Cooldown period
		
		CanDamage = false
		CanSwing = true
	end
end

function SwordHit(hit)
	if hit:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent ~= Sword.Parent then
		if CanDamage and not CanSwing then
			CanDamage = false
			
			local EnemyHumanoid = hit:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			EnemyHumanoid:TakeDamage(math.random(DamageRange[1], DamageRange[2]))
		end
	end
end


--==-- Function Callings --==--

Sword.Equipped:Connect(Equipped)
Sword.Unequipped:Connect(UnEquipped)
Sword.Activated:Connect(Slash)
Handle.Touched:Connect(SwordHit)

The CanDamage and CanSwing are debugs to force a cooldown onto the sword. I’m only accepting solutions that keep the cooldown the same.
