Wand not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

is it possible the ball is falling out of the world somehow?

#22

If it hits a wall or any entity it is destroyed but they don’t take damage. after 5 seconds the fireball will be destoryed.

#23

maybe it’s hitting the wand handle and that’s destroying it? trying adding a print(hit) with the destroy line and see what it prints.

It says that the handle is destroying it.

#25 
else
        if hit.Parent.Name ~= script.Parent.Name and hit.Parent.Name ~= script.Parent.Owner.Value then
            script.Parent:Destroy()
        end
    end

if the handle has the same parent as the script shouldnt it be fine?

I thought about that and I think it means either if it hits the handle, OR the player then it should be fine. But Im leaning towards if it hits the player its fine.

#27

Are there any errors in output?

#28

No errors are in the output @TazeredFireball211

#29

maybe you could check if the hit instance is the handle then cancel the event to avoid the misfire.

if hit == script.Parent.Handle then return end

Try adding that at the top of the touched function

#30

Handle is not a valid member of Part "Workspace.FireBall

I think you forgot that the parent was the fireball
or did I put it in the wrong place?

Edit: My code:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
if hit == script.Parent.Handle then return end
if hit.Parent.Name ~= script.Parent.Owner.Value then
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(script.Parent.Damage.Value)
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
else
if hit.Parent.Name ~= script.Parent.Name and hit.Parent.Name ~= script.Parent.Owner.Value then
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
end
end)

#31

in that case, change it to

if hit.Name == "Handle" then return end

yeah i forgot this code was under the fireball not the wand

#32

Still doesn’t work I printed the hit it says Handle was still what destroyed it.

#33 
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Name == "Handle" then return end
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        if hit.Parent.Name ~= script.Parent.Owner.Value then
            hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(script.Parent.Damage.Value)
            script.Parent:Destroy()
        end
    else
        if hit.Parent.Name ~= script.Parent.Name and hit.Parent.Name ~= script.Parent.Owner.Value then
             print(hit)
             script.Parent:Destroy()
        end
    end
end)

Put it at the top like this

Thank you so much! How could I change the speed?

#35 
fireball.BodyVelocity.Velocity = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * script.Parent.Speed.Value

shouldn’t you just increase the speed value since that’s the scalar?
