I created a magic wand that shoots spells but the spell-damage script keeps giving me an error [Touched is not a valid member of Folder] do you have any suggestions for what I could do.
I will link the script if you want to see it.

The Touched event is an event only for BasePart, not folders. If you want, you can make a part, weld it, name it to “TouchPart”, then script the part with the Touched event. This is just an example, but you can improve it further.
I think I already did because: The script is getting cloned into an effect part that holds both the velocity part but also an effect and the damage script.
Can you show me the Explorer to where the wand is and the script?
How about the script of the tool?
?
What do you mean?

I need to look at the script you made.

The script’s parent is a folder. You want to do:
script.Parent.Parent.PathToPart.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
Replace PathToPart with the path to whatever part you want the touches event to fire for.
Please format your code so that is easy to read, you can do this by doing
Example:
print("Hello World")
```lua
code
```
This code look very not clean and long, I would recommended you to re-make it using OOP (Object Oriented Programming).
