Why can't hit.Parent:FindFirstChild() find a humanoid?

I'm making an Undertale game. And for the undyne fight, I made the shield she gives you in the game.

I tried to use the .Touched event with :FindFirstChild() to identify if the spear hit the shield. That didn't work because it couldn't find the shield. Then I just changed it to just the .Touched event. And that did actually destroy the spear. But it won't kick the player when the player touches it.

Heres my code:

Spear.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	
	local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		
		local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(humanoid.Parent)
		Player:Kick("Pathetic...")
		
	end
	
Spear:Destroy()
		

end)

Howdy!

You should probably check for the :FindFirstChild("Humanoid") before making it a variable. That might get the script all kinds of screwed up. Try what I got below for your script.

Spear.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:IsA("Model") and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(humanoid.Parent)
		Player:Kick("I agree... you are pathetic...")
	end
	Spear:Destroy()
end)

Spear.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

    local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if humanoid then

        local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) -- Instead of saying humanoid.Parent, write hit.Parent.
        Player:Kick("Pathetic...")

    end

Spear:Destroy()


end)

Hope this helps.
