Why is my Touched event not working when the player touches the part?
So im trying to get the player, if he clicks a button(Text button) a part spawns, i got no problem with that, but when i try to make it so when the play touches the part they take damage, it doesnt work. Here is the following code
local btn = game.StarterGui.test2.test
function SpawnShadowPart()
local Shadow = Instance.new("Part")
Shadow.Parent = workspace
Shadow.Shape = "Cylinder"
Shadow.Name = "ShadowCurse"
Shadow.Position = Vector3.new(0,10,0)
Shadow.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,10,0)
Shadow.Color = Color3.fromRGB(170,0,170)
end
local shadow = game.workspace:FindFirstChild("ShadowCurse")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local Shadow = SpawnShadowPart()
Shadow.Touched:Connect(function(ShadowCurseEffect)
local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local maxHP = humanoid.MaxHealth
humanoid.Health = maxHP - 0.70
script:Destroy()
end)
end)

Your function isn't returning anything. If you wanna get the touching part, you'll need to return something. Which is an instance.
local btn = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").test2.test --Manipulate the PlayerGui, not StarterGui. Also you can use script.Parent if your local script is a descendant of ScreenGui.
function SpawnShadowPart()
local Shadow = Instance.new("Part")
Shadow.Parent = workspace
Shadow.Shape = "Cylinder"
Shadow.Name = "ShadowCurse"
Shadow.Position = Vector3.new(0,10,0)
Shadow.Orientation = Vector3.new(0,10,0)
Shadow.Color = Color3.fromRGB(170,0,170)
return Shadow --We need the object.
end
The reason why is because the function isn't returning anything, it's only returning nil, which WILL break your script. You need to return the object in order for it to work.
