Weapon not working after using different item

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I have this weapon script that works the first time I use it and when I reequip it after using another tool, it just doesnt work anymore.

r = game:service("RunService")

local damage = 0

sword = script.Parent.Handle
Tool = script.Parent

local damages,values,sounds = {15,20,25},{Tool.PlaySlash,Tool.PlayThrust,Tool.PlayOverhead},{Tool.Handle.SlashSound,Tool.Handle.OverheadSound,Tool.Handle.LungeSound}
local enabledToDamage = true

function blow(hit)
	if enabledToDamage == false then return end
	enabledToDamage = false
	if (hit.Parent == nil) then enabledToDamage = true return end -- happens when bullet hits sword
	local humanoid = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local vCharacter = Tool.Parent
	local vPlayer = game.Players:playerFromCharacter(vCharacter)
	local hum = vCharacter:findFirstChild("Humanoid") -- non-nil if tool held by a character
	if humanoid~=nil and humanoid ~= hum and hum ~= nil then
		-- final check, make sure sword is in-hand
		local right_arm = vCharacter:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
		if (right_arm ~= nil) then
			local joint = right_arm:FindFirstChild("RightGrip")
			if (joint ~= nil and (joint.Part0 == sword or joint.Part1 == sword)) then
				tagHumanoid(humanoid, vPlayer)
				humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
				wait(1)
				untagHumanoid(humanoid)
			else
				enabledToDamage = true
			end
		else
			enabledToDamage = true
		end
	else
		enabledToDamage = true
	end
end


function tagHumanoid(humanoid, player)
	local creator_tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
	creator_tag.Value = player
	creator_tag.Name = "creator"
	creator_tag.Parent = humanoid
end

function untagHumanoid(humanoid)
	if humanoid ~= nil then
		local tag = humanoid:findFirstChild("creator")
		if tag ~= nil then
			tag.Parent = nil
		end
	end
end


function attack()
	damage = slash_damage
	script.Parent.Handle.SlashSound:Play()
	script.Parent.PlaySlash.Value = not script.Parent.PlaySlash.Value 
end

function lunge()
	damage = lunge_damage
	script.Parent.Handle.LungeSound:Play()
	script.Parent.PlayOverhead.Value = not script.Parent.PlayOverhead.Value 
	force = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	force.velocity = Vector3.new(0,10,0) --Tool.Parent.Torso.CFrame.lookVector * 80
	force.Parent = Tool.Parent.Torso
	wait(.5)
	force.Parent = nil
	wait(.5)
	damage = slash_damage
end


Tool.Enabled = true
local last_attack = 0
local status = 0

function onActivated()
	if not Tool.Enabled then
		return
	end
	Tool.Enabled = false
	local character = Tool.Parent;
	local humanoid = character.Humanoid
	if humanoid == nil then
		print("Humanoid not found")
		return 
	end
	t = r.Stepped:wait()
	if (t - last_attack < 1.5) then
		if status == 3 then
			status = 0
			damage = 0
		else
			status = status + 1
			values[status].Value = not values[status].Value
			damage = damages[status]
			sounds[status]:Play()
			enabledToDamage = true
			wait(0.5)
			enabledToDamage = false
		end
	else
		status = 0
		damage = 0
	end
	last_attack = t
	Tool.Enabled = true
end

function onEquipped()
	wait(1/3)
	Tool.Handle.UnsheathSound:Play()
end

Tool.Equipped:connect(onEquipped)
script.Parent.Activated:connect(onActivated)
connection = sword.Touched:connect(blow)

How can I fix this issue?

#2

IT only breaks if I activate a different tool so I don’t know wahts wrong. There arent any errors

#3

I think this is a simple fix, in your onActivated script you disable the tool (which is correct to avoid spamming/glitching) but you never re-activate it. After the tool is used the onActivated script stops after the first if statement because the tool is still deactivated from the first use. Try enabling the tool again after the code for the attack is run to “prime” the tool for another use! :slight_smile:

#4

It doesn’t seem like the tool is being deactivated after the first use. I check on workspace and it shows that it’s enabled unless youre talking bout the enabledToDamage
