Why does nothing below my task.wait(1) doesn't run

Hello. I was working on this knockback system but then I couldn’t delete the body velocity properly, after adding some print statements nothing below task.wait(1) doesnt seem to work.

the ‘ragdolled, waiting now’ prints but nothing else below it does.

I tried using wait(), but same thing.
I tried

local function Delay(duration)
        local t = os.clock()
       while os.clock() - t <= duration do
		
      end
end

and it just froze my game when it would reach to the Delay(1) line.

Have you tried removing it at all?

Removing the “task.wait(1)” line

#5

just tried it, prints everything

#7

Does it work or does it just print without actually working

#8

The script is probably destroyed or disabled during the waiting, and therefore the other parts cannot be executed…

nope. it wont. there is nothing that disables or deletes

#11

use task.delay() instead of task wait.

#12

it prints everything, but the ragdols and knockback happen so quickly i cant see it. there is a little 0.0001 seconds of freeze though, probably indicating that it happened too quickly

#13

same thing. someone had told me to use that in discord server

Most likely a issue with your script.

local r6Module = require(game:GetService('ServerScriptService').R6Ragdoll.ModuleScript)
local animation = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').animation
local stage = 4
local debris = game.Debris

script.Parent.deal.Changed:Connect(function(player)
	
	script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit.Name ~= 'Torso' then
			return
		end
		if hit.Parent.Humanoid and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
			local char = hit.Parent
			if script.attacker.Value == char.Name then
				print('self attac')
			end
			if char.hitAlready.Value == true then
				return
			end
			char.hitAlready.Value = true
			
			char.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
			if stage == 4 then
			
				local kb = Instance.new('BodyVelocity')
				kb.Parent = char.HumanoidRootPart
				kb.MaxForce = Vector3.new(300000,300000, 300000)
				kb.Velocity = game.Workspace[script.attacker.Value].HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 100
				if char.RagdollTrigger then	
					
					char.RagdollTrigger.Value = true
					print('ragdolled, waiting now')
					
					print('waited')
					char.RagdollTrigger.Value = false

				else
					print('no ragdoll trigger')
					r6Module:Setup(char)
					
					r6Module:Unragdoll(char)
				end
				print('no more if statement')
				char.HumanoidRootPart.BodyVelocity:Destroy()
			end
			print('no more')
			if  stage ~= 4 then
				local anim = animation.stages[stage]
				char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim):Play()
				
			end
			
			char.hitAlready.Value = false
		end
	end)

i dont think there is any problems here. i mean it already got to the ragdolled,waiting now. i also start flying while being knocked down towards the direction i was facing… sooo

#17

Where exactly is the script placed?

#18

its the script deal. the hitbox is located at replicated storage

#19

do the hitbox (the part) get deleted some sort of?

#20

idk. i already making a remove event instead of this one server script.

#21

update:
it seems to be working so far

#22

Hey. I just realized that i had put a script in the hitbox that would delete itself if it’s parent is changed to workspace. while deleteing the older scripts
This completely slipped my mind as I made it a while ago, and only just decided to work on this projcet with my friend. i will make your answer the solutuon, thanks for taking your time to help me out.
