Is there a way i can decrease the damage that this npc does?

I have this NPC I'm making and I used a free model and turned it into something else I couldn't find out how to decrease the health it does here's the two scripts that came inside not including the animation script

debugMode = false
targetNPCs = false

--

h = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
pathService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
targetV = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Target")

function closestTargetAndPath()
	local humanoids = {}
	if targetNPCs then
		local function recurse(o)
			for _,obj in pairs(o:GetChildren()) do
				if obj:IsA("Model") then
					if obj:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and obj:findFirstChild("Torso") and obj.Humanoid ~= h and obj.Humanoid.Health > 0 and not obj:findFirstChild("ForceField") then
						table.insert(humanoids,obj.Humanoid)
					end
				end
				recurse(obj)
			end
		end
		recurse(workspace)
	else
		for _,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
			if v.Character and v.Character:findFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and v.Character:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and v.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 and not v:findFirstChild("ForceField") then
				table.insert(humanoids,v.Character.Humanoid)
			end
		end
	end
	local closest,path,dist
	for _,humanoid in pairs(humanoids) do
		local myPath = pathService:ComputeRawPathAsync(h.Torso.Position,humanoid.Torso.Position,500)
		if myPath.Status ~= Enum.PathStatus.FailFinishNotEmpty then
			-- Now that we have a successful path, we need to figure out how far we need to actually travel to reach this point.
			local myDist = 0
			local previous = h.Torso.Position
			for _,point in pairs(myPath:GetPointCoordinates()) do
				myDist = myDist + (point-previous).magnitude
				previous = point
			end
			if not dist or myDist < dist then -- if true, this is the closest path so far.
				closest = humanoid
				path = myPath
				dist = myDist
			end
		end
	end
	return closest,path
end

function goToPos(loc)
	h:MoveTo(loc)
	local distance = (loc-h.Torso.Position).magnitude
	local start = tick()
	while distance > 4 do
		if tick()-start > distance/h.WalkSpeed then -- Something may have gone wrong. Just break.
			break
		end
		distance = (loc-h.Torso.Position).magnitude
		wait()
	end
end

while wait() do
	local target,path = closestTargetAndPath()
	local didBreak = false
	local targetStart
	if target and h.Torso then
		targetV.Value = target
		targetStart = target.Torso.Position
		roaming = false
		local previous = h.Torso.Position
		local points = path:GetPointCoordinates()
		local s = #points > 1 and 2 or 1
		for i = s,#points do
			local point = points[i]
			if didBreak then 
				break
			end
			if target and target.Torso and target.Health > 0 then
				if (target.Torso.Position-targetStart).magnitude < 1.5 then
					local pos = previous:lerp(point,.5)
					local moveDir = ((pos - h.Torso.Position).unit * 2)
					goToPos(previous:lerp(point,.5))
					previous = point
				end
			else
				didBreak = true
				break
			end
		end
	else
		targetV.Value = nil
	end
	if not didBreak and targetStart then
		goToPos(targetStart)
	end
end
local target = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Target")
local torso = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Torso")
local down = script.Parent:WaitForChild("MouseDown")

function handler(new)
	if target.Value then
		while target.Value == new do
			if target.Value and target.Value.Parent == nil then
				target.Value = nil
				return
			end
			local look = (new.Torso.Position-torso.Position).unit * 300
			local hit = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(Ray.new(torso.Position,look),{script.Parent.Parent,new.Parent})
			if not hit or (new.Torso.Position-torso.Position).magnitude < 10 then
				down:Fire(new.Torso.Position)
			end
			wait(0.2)
		end
	end
end

target.Changed:connect(handler)

if target.Value then
	handler(target.Value)
end

What Model Did you use? maybe link it to me so i can have a check

Have you Tried Checking The Torso in the NPC, it might have a script that damages you if you Touch it. (Or any other body part?)
