How do I make it not damage the player who casted it?
grandFireball.Touched:Connect(function(Touched)
if Touched.Parent.Name ~= player.Name then
local Humanoid
if Touched.Parent:IsA("Accessory")then
Humanoid = Touched.Parent.Parent.Humanoid
elseif Touched.Parent:IsA("Model")then
Humanoid = Touched.Parent.Humanoid
end
if Humanoid ~= nil then
Humanoid:TakeDamage(5)
grandFireball:Destroy()
end
end
end)
The script works and damages the dummies however I was testing and to see if it would damage me and it does and I do not want that happening.

The possible reason why is because you are checking if
Touched.Parent.Name ~= player.Name
In this case you except Touched to be part which is children of the character, but the thing is that characters also have Accessories which have handles in them, handles also have hitbox but they are not parent of character, they are parent of the accessory and descendant of character. So to fix this, what you could do is:
grandFireball.Touched:Connect(function(Touched)
if not Touched:IsDescendantOf(player.Character) then
What this does is that it checks if the hit is descendant of player's character. basically descendants in roblox are parts that are located in some object, by that i mean:
/Workspace -- Descendant of game and also child of game
/Part -- Descendant of Workspace and game
/AnotherPart -- Descendant of Workspace, Part and game
/ReplicatedStorage -- Descendant and also child of game
/Folder -- Descendant of ReplicatedStorage and game but not descendant of Workspace
