[Solved] Why is my damage script not damaging the enemy?
So i made a boss fight where you have to position yourself so that when the enemy summons a spike, it impales itself dealing damage but if you get hit by it, you take damage.
The issue here is that damaging players working but damaging itself is not
I don't understand why it's not.
there is a value called HP inside the enemy model the script is inside the enemy model spike is defined as the summoned spike earlier in the code which works fine
Code:
local hit = false
local behit = false
spike.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(part.Parent.Name) then
if hit == false then
hit = true
part.Parent.Humanoid.Health = part.Parent.Humanoid.Health - (15+(level*5))
end
end
if part.Parent == script.Parent then
if behit == false then
behit = true
script.Parent.HP.Value = script.Parent.HP.Value - math.random(50,750)
end
end
end)
Issue has been resolved, check comments to see how.

Where is this script located? A model, the boss, or the spike? NotTheChara 191 — 4y

Is it possible to show the whole script? It doesn't seem to have any problem here. NotTheChara 191 — 4y

the rest of the script works fine, it's this section that has the problem mm1678YT 80 — 4y

Try to print something before `if part.Parent == script.Parent then` and after it so we can see where the script stopped. NotTheChara 191 — 4y

you clarified some of your variables wrong, look at this and read the messages inside the script which will show you what you did wrong
local hit = true --was false before
local behit = false
level = 0 --you might wanna remove this idk
spike = nil--put location of spike here
spike.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(part.Parent.Name) then
if hit == false then --again, you just called out hit false in the script you showed us, make it true, when it damages make it go false so there's no damage flooding.
hit = false --was true before, make hit flaseright aftet it hits, so this functioon cant be flooded like i sayed.
part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health - 15+level*5
end
end
if part.Parent == script.Parent then
if behit == false then
behit = true
script.Parent.HP.Value = script.Parent.HP.Value - math.random(50,750)
end
end
end)
you might want to edit a lot of stuff I just send above since I don't know half of what's going on here, do that correctly and it will work as you want it to.

that does not fix the issue that i am having, the player damaging works fine but damaging the NPC (2nd half) was not working mm1678YT 80 — 4y

Well, level and spike seems to be unlisted here, not something did wrong. Also, `if hit == false then hit = true` is a debounce but you made it false two times so it can't make the effect of debounce. Please ask the asker for more information before answering. NotTheChara 191 — 4y
