Unreliable code for a part that explodes characters when touched

Wrote a much more reliable version of the functions you were using.

Regardless of if these replacements do exactly what you had them doing previously, you can still sample code from damageWithinCircle for a much more reliable damage applier.

local nukeExploded = false
local distanceCap = 1000

local function damageWithinCircle(nukeCircle, playersToDamage)
	for _, targetPlayer in pairs(playersToDamage) do
		local targetCharacter = targetPlayer.Character
		if targetCharacter then
			local humanoid = targetCharacter:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			
			if targetCharacter and targetCharacter.PrimaryPart and humanoid then
				local relativeDistance = (targetCharacter.PrimaryPart.Position - nukeCircle.Center.Position).Magnitude
				local relativeDamage = (distanceCap - relativeDistance) * 0.5
				warn(relativeDistance, relativeDamage)
				
				humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health - relativeDamage
				if humanoid.Health <= 0 then
					killTarget(targetCharacter)
				elseif humanoid.Health <= 10 then
					abilities.Parent.ChangeStatus:FireClient(targetPlayer, "Stun", 2.5)
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

nukeCircle.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	local psuedoPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if psuedoPlayer then
		for index, player in pairs(playersToDamage) do
			if player == psuedoPlayer then
				table.remove(playersToDamage, index)
				break
			end
		end
	end
end)

nuke.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if not nukeExploded then
		nukeExploded = true
		wait(3)
		nuke:Destroy()
		for _, v in pairs(script.Particles:GetChildren()) do
			v.Parent = nukeCircle
		end
		damageWithinCircle(nukeCircle, playersToDamage)
		wait(1.25)
		nukeCircle:Destroy()
	end
end)
