How would I make sure thats its an npc not a player?
function onTouched(hit)
if hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Respawn") = nil then
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(.5)
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
How would I make sure thats its a npc? Well, the player doesn't have a script named "Respawn" in it, but my npc does. so how would I use the :findFirstChild() function, but make sure that it respawns as nil, not a actually find it. Is there an other function?

:GetPlayerFromCharacter is a great way to see if a character is a player, in your case, we can just do the opposite by checking if it didn't return the player or true.
I'm using another if statement just to make the line not as long and make it less confusing.
function onTouched(hit)
if hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Respawn") = nil then
if not game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(.5)
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

line 2 is an error. `if respawn = nil then` what's wrong with this firewolf? Not to mention, `:findFirstChild()` is deprecated, and `:FindFirstChild()` should be used instead. same goes for `:connect()`, it should be `:Connect()` Gey4Jesus69 2705 — 4y

Easy solution all you have to do is check if they are in the Players service.
function onTouched(hit)
if hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Respawn") = nil then
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) then
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(.5)
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
Good luck! Remember to accept if this works
