Hit touched event hitting own Player?

Hey there,

I’ve got a quick question I’ve currently got a Sword that does damage based on

 if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)

however its also of course taking into account my own Humanoid therefore inflicting damage onto myself, How would i go about making a check if the Hit is not the Player themselves

Thanks,

this is my first time answering a question but try this:

local tool = script.Parent -- change this if needed

if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
	if hit.Parent.Name ~= tool.Parent.Name then
		-- ur script here
	end
end

not sure if this will work but try it out

Try this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Name”) ~= player.Name then
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then

The basic premise here is that the game checks if what’s being hit is you (I use players.playeradded since it’s like the equivalent to localplayer in a server script). Then, the game just does the sword thing. If this doesn’t work let me know.

Hi, you would rename it to players instead of player or humanoid. That just says you and not everyone else. So it should be something like this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players") --- Gets players

if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Players”) -- If you hit the players then do damage
