So when I do a touched event, it errors out, why?

Asked Nov 22, 2020203 views2 answers

if meleebool == true then

	if RArm.Touched:Connect(function(hit) then
		if hit.Parent.Humanoid then
			hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -12
		end
	end)

	if LArm.Touched:Connect(function(hit) then
		if hit.Parent.Humanoid then
			hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -12
		end
	end)

	if weaponinhand.Touched:Connect(function(hit) then
		if hit.Parent.Humanoid then
			hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -12
		end
	end)

end

error: Expected identifier when parsing expression, got 'then'

local events are NEVER can be in if.. then. try just removing if's and then's.

if meleebool == true then

    RArm.Touched:Connect(function(hit) 
        if hit.Parent.Humanoid then
            hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -12
        end end)

    LArm.Touched:Connect(function(hit) 
        if hit.Parent.Humanoid then
            hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -12
        end end)

    weaponinhand.Touched:Connect(function(hit) 
        if hit.Parent.Humanoid then
            hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -12
        end end)

end

I hope i was able to help! good day!

local events are :connect and :wait.

Basically with Events, You don't need to use an IF Statement.

if meleebool == true then

     RArm.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
         hit.Parent.Humanoid then
            hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -12
        end
    end)

     LArm.Touched:Connect(function(hit) then
        hit.Parent.Humanoid 
            hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -12
        end
    end)

     weaponinhand.Touched:Connect(function(hit) 
         hit.Parent.Humanoid 
            hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health -12
        end
    end)

end

The Event is going to fire when the RArm is going to be touched, so there is no need to check if it got touched or not
