Why is my sword script too OP

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I can’t find a way to balance the sword so that it does damage because now it can do 10 damage sometimes and like 18 damage

script:

local Sword = script.Parent

local db = false
local DefaultDamage = Sword:GetAttribute("SwordDamage")
local Animations = {Sword.Slash,Sword.Slash,Sword.Slash2}

local Module = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.ClientModules.BasicFunctions)
local SH = require(game.ServerScriptService.Modules.ObjectModules.SwordHandler)

local AnimationDb = false

Module:WeldModel(Sword,Sword.Handle) -- welds model to handle
SH:SetProperties(Sword)

Sword.Equipped:Connect(function()
	game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Connect(function()
		if AnimationDb == false then
			AnimationDb = true
			if Sword.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				local Humanoid = Sword.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
				Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Sword.Equip):Play()		
			else
				AnimationDb = false
			end
		end
	end)
end)

Sword.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	AnimationDb = false
end)

Sword.Activated:Connect(function()
	local char = Sword.Parent
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)

	if db == false and player.CanFight.Value == false then
		local ChosenAnim = Animations[math.random(1,#Animations)]
		local load = Sword.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(ChosenAnim)
		load:Play()

		repeat wait() until not load.IsPlaying

		db = true

		if ChosenAnim == Sword.Slash2 then
			Sword:SetAttribute("SwordDamage",6)
		else
			Sword:SetAttribute("SwordDamage",DefaultDamage)
		end

		wait(1)
		
		db = false
	end
end)

Sword.Cube.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent ~= Sword.Parent and db == true then

		hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(Sword:GetAttribute("SwordDamage"))
		
		db = false

		wait(1)
		
		db = true
	end
end)

I think it’s a critical hit that’s making it do 18 dmg

#3

how do I fix it? So that it only does the damage instead of more then the damage

#4

I dunno. There’s tutorials on YouTube.
