Touched Blacklist Script Help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Currently handling this script with OnServerEvent, basically prints anything with a humanoid in it that its also a model, however itll keep printing constantly, im trying to make a “blacklist” so the same player doesnt get printed and rather skips over it but im unsure of how to do that.

			local zoneTouch = zone.Touched:Connect(function(touched)
				local touchedModel = touched:FindFirstAncestorOfClass('Model')
				
				
				if touchedModel ~= nil then
					if character ~= touchedModel then
						for _, object in touchedModel:GetChildren() do
							if object:IsA('Humanoid') then
								remoteScan:FireClient(player, touchedModel)
							end
						end
					end
				end

			end)

Entire Script:

--//Locals
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Mechanics = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('Mechanics')
local RemoteEvents = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('RemoteEvents')
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

--//Paths
local remoteScan = RemoteEvents:WaitForChild('remoteScan')
--//

--//Client To Server
local function onScanRequest(player, timer, debounce)
	task.spawn(function()
		if not debounce then
			--// Paths
			local scanner = Mechanics:WaitForChild('ScanZone')
			local zone = scanner:Clone()
			local light = zone:WaitForChild("PointLight")
			local weld = Instance.new('WeldConstraint')
			local character = player.Character
			local HRP = character:FindFirstChild('HumanoidRootPart')
			--//

			--// Values
			local zoneSizeStart = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
			local zoneSize = Vector3.new(200,200,200)
			--//

			--// Default Settings
			weld.Parent = zone
			weld.Part0 = zone
			weld.Part1 = HRP
			zone.Size = zoneSizeStart
			zone.Position = HRP.Position
			zone.Parent = workspace
			light.Range = 0
			--//

			--// Reusable Tween function
			local function onTween(changes, cooldown, reverse, object)

				local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
					cooldown,									-- Time taken for a full animation
					Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,			-- Animation Style
					Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,			-- Animation Type
					0,									-- Number of repeats (-1 is infinite)
					reverse,								-- Reverse?
					0									-- Delay between animations
				)

				local tween = TweenService:Create(object, tweenInfo, changes)

				tween:Play()
			end
			--//

			--// LocalPlayer is now scanning

			zone.Size = zoneSizeStart
			zone.Transparency = 0
			light.Range = 0
			light.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)

			local zoneChanges = {
				Size = zoneSize;
				Transparency = 1
			}
			onTween(zoneChanges, timer, false, zone)

			local lightChanges = {
				Range = 160;
				Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0)
			}
			onTween(lightChanges, timer*1.5, false, light)
			
			
			local zoneTouch = zone.Touched:Connect(function(touched)
				local touchedModel = touched:FindFirstAncestorOfClass('Model')
				
				
				if touchedModel ~= nil then
					if character ~= touchedModel then
						for _, object in touchedModel:GetChildren() do
							if object:IsA('Humanoid') then
								remoteScan:FireClient(player, touchedModel)
							end
						end
					end
				end

			end)

			zoneTouch = nil
			zone = nil

Im confused slightly,

When you say ‘I’m trying to make a “blacklist” so the same player doesn’t get printed and rather skips over it but I’m unsure of how to do that.’;

Are you saying it will do (or iterate) the same Humanoid multiple times and continue to FireClient(player, touchedModel)?

#3

by blacklist he means if the touched part is on blacklisted list.

#4

Blacklist means, having a list and anything from that list is not allowed. So you can use tables as they can work like a blacklist pretty well.

#5

yeah, so, this script its already ignoring the localplayer, its supposed to detect other players however when i tried to implement a blacklist so the print doesnt fire a thousand times for the same thing i simply just didnt know how to do it right, then again I was running on 0 sleep.

#6

I was able to fix and finish the script thanks to a friend who helped me
