Hey there,
I’m working on a weapon script that features blocking, disarming, and even a system where, if you have the correct manual in your ‘inventory’, you get better animations.
However, I’ve been scripting on it for a few days now, and I’ve noticed either one of three problems occur:
- Either the weapon does damage even when the CanAttack debounce doesn’t allow it to do so.
- Either the weapon does no damage at all.
- Either the weapon does way too much damage in a single swing or touch.
Currently the script gives the second problem, I’ve tried toying around with values and debounce alot, but to no avail. Ideally, the weapon should do a single chunk damage only when it’s animation plays. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here’s the scripts:
- What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

Really, I’ve run out of ideas and options, I’d really appreciate some help. If you’ve got any questions about the script or I’m not being clear - feel free to ask in the comments.
Thank you!
