Trying to make a region3 hitbox that doesn't hit the user too?

Asked 832 views1 answers

So I'm currently making a game where you pick up orbs, which give you power (a leaderstat value) and a punching system. The only problem is the punching system does region3, making it so when I hit something, I'm in the region 3 radius, so it hits me! Is there any way I can fix this? Please help someone!

Script:

Enabled = true
Combo = 1
Action = "Combat"

script.Parent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Action, m,Power, V1)
	Enabled = true
	local dmg = 10 + Power * 1
	print("Got this far.")
	if Enabled == false then return end
	print("Got this far. 2")
	if Action  == Action then
		print("Got this far. 3")
		if Combo == 1 then
			print("Got this far. 4")
			Combo = 2
			print("Got this far. 5")
			local Track = Instance.new("Animation")
			Track.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6024898273"
			Track.Name = "Anim"
			local Anim = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Track)
			Anim:Play()
		elseif Combo == 2 then
			Combo = 1
			local Track = Instance.new("Animation")
			Track.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6025098835"
			Track.Name = "Anim"
			local Anim = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Track)
			Anim:Play()
		end
		wait(0.2)
		local Region = Region3.new(Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position-Vector3.new(2,2,2),Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position+Vector3.new(2,2,2))
		print("Got this far. 6")
		local RTable = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(Region, nil, 20)
		print("Got this far. 7")
		for i,v in pairs(RTable) do
			print("Got this far. 8")
			local Deb = Instance.new("BoolValue", v.Parent)Deb.Name = "Deb"
			if v.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") and v.Parent:findFirstChild(Deb) == nil and v.Parent ~= Player.Character then

					print("Got this far. 9")
				print("Got this far. 10")
				game.Debris:AddItem(Deb,0.2)
				print("Got this far. 11")
				v.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(dmg)
				print("Got this far. 12")
				print("Did ".. dmg .. " damage.")
				Enabled = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

I'm having trouble on line 38. Line 38 makes it so it doesn;t hit me, but doesn't hit ANYTHING else either.

Local script (not important but for extra detail):

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until Player.Character
Character = Player.Character
mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Tool = script.Parent
multiplier = 1

Enabled = true

Tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if Enabled == true then
		script.Function:FireServer("Combat", multiplier, Player.leaderstats.Power.Value, Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame*CFrame.new(0,0,-2).Position)
	end
	
end)

No error in the output, I was just wondering, thanks!

Does Player.Character actually refer to the character? Try to do: if v.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and v.Parent:FindFirstChild(Deb) == nil and v.Parent ~= game.Workspace[Player.Name] then

on line 38 as you've stated, its not working. the reason why its not working is your looking for a created "tag" and inserting it into everything that your region3 finds

Code:

-- code
  --[[ Here -->>]]    local Deb = Instance.new("BoolValue", v.Parent)Deb.Name = "Deb"
            if v.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") 
		and v.Parent:findFirstChild(Deb) == nil  -- this wont work as FindFirstChildNeeds a string/name!
		and v.Parent ~= Player.Character then
-- more code

I tested your code whilst commenting out that part and your debis call also and it seems to work as intended

Code in full:

Enabled = true
Combo = 1
Action = "Combat"

script.Parent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Action, m,Power, V1)
    Enabled = true
    local dmg = 10 + Power * 1
    print("Got this far.")
    if Enabled == false then return end
    print("Got this far. 2")
    if Action  == Action then
        print("Got this far. 3")
        if Combo == 1 then
            print("Got this far. 4")
            Combo = 2
            print("Got this far. 5")
            local Track = Instance.new("Animation")
            Track.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6024898273"
            Track.Name = "Anim"
            local Anim = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Track)
            Anim:Play()
        elseif Combo == 2 then
            Combo = 1
            local Track = Instance.new("Animation")
            Track.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://6025098835"
            Track.Name = "Anim"
            local Anim = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Track)
            Anim:Play()
        end
        wait(0.2)
        local Region = Region3.new(Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position-Vector3.new(2,2,2),Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position+Vector3.new(2,2,2))
        print("Got this far. 6")
        local RTable = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3(Region, nil, 20)
        print("Got this far. 7")
		for i,v in pairs(RTable) do
			print(v.Parent)
            print("Got this far. 8")
        --    local Deb = Instance.new("BoolValue", v.Parent)Deb.Name = "Deb"
            if v.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
		--[[ and v.Parent:findFirstChild(Deb.Name) == nil  --just commented this out since its not needed]] 
		and v.Parent ~= Player.Character then

                    print("Got this far. 9")
                print("Got this far. 10")
               -- game.Debris:AddItem(Deb,0.2)
                print("Got this far. 11")
                v.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(dmg)
                print("Got this far. 12")
                print("Did ".. dmg .. " damage.")
                Enabled = false
            end
        end
    end
end)

I didn't touch your local script. Im assuming that tag was only for the player casting the effect/attack?

if so i would create the tag before your for loop Hope this helps! :)
