Hello, basically I wanted to make a beam script that whenever a player or dummy touches it, it receives the damage, but it doesn’t detect the dummy or another player, just the player who used the “beam”
I tried using a filter so it doesn’t damage the player who used the beam, but it doesn’t detect the enemy or dummy
Here is the touched is the touched event
local hit = false
local connection = shockwave.Touched:Connect(function(hitPart)
if not hit then
if hitPart.Parent ~= player.Character or weapon then
print("Wrong Hit")
else
local Enemyhumanoid = hitPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if Enemyhumanoid then
local cframe = hitPart.Parent.Torso.CFrame
hit = true
Enemyhumanoid:TakeDamage(45)
end
end
end
end)
if hit then
connection:Disconnect()
break
end
I don’t think so, if the object doesn’t have a humanoid it would ignore since hit is still false, player equals to the one who fired the beam, the weapon is from the player who used it, so it wouldn’t be a problem, since is a different character.
The enemy is a regular dummy or another player, I don’t think it’s necessary to send a screenshot of the dummy, but I’ll still send it since you asked for it
Can you print out what exactly is hitPart? That may help significantly.
Also note that it may be hitting, but if this is a client-sided script, you cannot apply damage to them directly. You have to tell the server to do the damage.
Where is this script placed? Inside a part? inside a tool? in ServerScriptService?
How are u getting the player.Character and the weapon? In order to filter them?
Btw, the first thing I notice is some arguments missing maybe? if hitPart.Parent ~= player.Character or hitPart.Parent ~= weapon then
the weapon variable what it is? a bool? the weapon itself? I dont understand clearly what ur beam is. And how the player is using it? a click? its a tool?
its a remote event, the problem is that the script is not detecting the “enemy” aka dummy, Wrong Hit means the player character who used the beam or the weapon(BParts) https://gyazo.com/f1032553bea784b29f92ca4608f2bd3e
ServerScriptService, its a remote so basically I did it this:
remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local weapon = player.Character.Excalibur
end
and the weapon is the weapon itself, i can send the full script if you guys want
Yeah, would be good to see the script. But you said something confusing. You said “Wrong hit” print is when the owner of the weapon is being touched by the beam?? Actually is the opposite.
if hitPart.Parent ~= player.Character or hitPart.Parent ~= weapon then
print("This is what runs when the Hit part is NOT the owner of the weapon")
else
print("This is what runs when the touched part IS the owner of the weapon")
end
If the variable player, contains the client that used a gui button or something to fire the remote. Thats the owner of the weapon, who is gonna use it. Then u are comparing
if the hit part is different than the owner of the weapon then... "Do the damage!!"… Not print (Wrong Hit…)
Show your script. Cause I used ur script, created a remote and created a GUI button. I just edited a little your script, and its working fine for me. It only damage the other players except the one who pressed the button (the owner)

Idk if its related with the problem but. You are connecting 95 times the same touchEvent.
On that for i = 1, 95 do You are connecting the function to the event shockwave.Touched:Connect(function) 95 times. Thats not good. You only need to connect it once, its only 1 mesh, not 95 clones local shockwave = assets.Meshes.ExPropBeam:Clone()
I don’t think so, tried what you said and the script is still ignoring the operator, so I don’t really know why does it damage me or why it doesn’t detect other players
local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.ExcaliburBeam
local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")

btw. I disabled the checking torso CFrame, cause it gaves me an error. I should check why, but Im a little busy now. But, works fine for me, after many tests, I never receive damage on my character, and only the other player takes the damage.
I agree with @SyntaxWizard too, would be better if you split those statements. But, still working without the split. Paste ur code again to check whats the problem, compare it with this one and find the issue. Its working fine. I would suggest a different approach but the code seems fine.
alr, basically I added IsDescendantOf(player.Character) and changed the “or” statement to “and” and now it doesn’t damage me, but is not detecting the dummy, basically the same problem as the start
local cola = shockwave.Touched:Connect(function(hitPart)
if not hit then
if hitPart.Parent ~= player.Character and hitPart.Parent ~= weapon then
if hitPart:IsDescendantOf(player.Character) then
print("d of player.Character")
else
print("not touched by the owner of the weapon")
print(hitPart.Name)
print(hitPart.Parent.Name)
local humanoid = hitPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
local cframe = hitPart.Parent.Torso.CFrame
hit = true
humanoid:TakeDamage(45)
end
end
else
--[[ print("Touched by the owner of the weapon")
print(hitPart.Name)
print(hitPart.Parent.Name) ]]
end
end
end) ```
