How do you check the name of the part another part touched?
This is my script so far; it is set as the child of a hitbox:
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if debounce == false then
print("1")
if not script.Parent.Name == hit.Parent.Name then
print("2")
if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
print("3")
debounce = true
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
hit.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 8
wait(1)
hit.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
debounce = false
end
end
end
end)
In line 6, I try to check if the script's parent's name is equal to the part it hit's name, but i think i did "hit.Parent.Name then" wrong. Any suggestions?

It looks like the checks are to make sure that it's a player you're touching. In that case, try this:
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if not debounce then -- make sure debounce is set to false
debounce = true
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then -- make sure we don't work with a nil value, so the next part can only be performed when it's a player we are touching
print(player.Name) -- This will print the player's name
local character = player.Character -- this is the player's avatar in Workspace
character.Humanoid.Health -= 10 -- take away 10 from health
character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 8
wait(1)
character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
debounce = false
end
end
end)
