STILL NEED HELP!!

Hello!! i want to make my custom zombie NPC from scratch be able to damage players health little by little, Its already following the player its just that little detail that i want to add, I have tried chatgpt and youtube but surprisingly they didnt really help with something good. Please add a simple damage system to this existing script inside my dummy/zombie:

//////////////////////

local npc = script.Parent
local humanoid = npc:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
local runService = game:GetService(“RunService”)

npc.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 10 – Adjust the speed here

runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
local nearestPlayer, shortestDistance
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local character = player.Character
if character and character:FindFirstChild(“HumanoidRootPart”) then
local distance = (character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - npc.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
if not shortestDistance or distance < shortestDistance then
nearestPlayer = character
shortestDistance = distance
end
end
end

if nearestPlayer then
	humanoid:MoveTo(nearestPlayer.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
end

end)

a simple system that damages a player whenever the npc touches/is touching a player, As its a zombie NPC

local Zombie = workspace.Part1 -- The Zombie Model
local HitTable = {}

local DMG = 10
local Cooldown = 3

for i, v in pairs(Zombie:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("BasePart") then
		v.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
			local Model = Hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
			
			if Model.Name ~= "Zombie" then --Checks if the model is not zombie
				local Humanoid = Model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") -- checks if the model have life
				
				if HitTable[Humanoid] == nil then -- checks if the humanoid was not recently damaged
					HitTable[Humanoid] = true
					Humanoid.Health -= DMG -- takes damage
					
					task.delay(Cooldown, function() -- the humanoid can be damaged again after the cooldown
						HitTable[Humanoid] = nil
					end)
				end
				
			end
			
		end)
	end
end

set the script enabled property to false and after spawning the zombie and parenting it to the workspace enable the script

Here ya go:

local npc = script.Parent
local humanoid = npc:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
npc.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 10 

local bool = false
for _, part in npc:GetChildren() do
	if part:IsA("Part") then
		part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			if player then
				if player.Character and not bool then
					bool = true
					player.Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10)

					wait(1)
					bool = false
				end 
			end
		end)
	end
end



runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local nearestPlayer, shortestDistance
	for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local character = player.Character
		if character and character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
			local distance = (character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - npc.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
			if not shortestDistance or distance < shortestDistance then
				nearestPlayer = character
				shortestDistance = distance
			end
		end
	end

	if nearestPlayer then
		humanoid:MoveTo(nearestPlayer.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
	end
end)
