Asked 193 views1 answers

I took a sword, because it served my game, but it ended up that it hits only one enemy at a time

Create a blank table, and when the sword collides with something while it's attacking, check if that thing has been hit before by looping through the table. If it hasn't, damage it and add it to the table, if it hasn't, do nothing. You can then clear the table at the end of the attack.

This is a demonstration I made. I'm not able to test it right now so it might not work but it will give you the general idea.


local debounce = false

local tool = script.Parent 
local Handle = tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

local wpnDamage = 30

local Activated = false
local hitPlayers = {} -- Create a new table

local function onTouch(part)
	if Activated and part.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
		local char = part.Parent
		local characterAlreadyHit = false -- This will stay false if the player isn't in the table

		for i, v in pairs(hitPlayers) do -- Loop through the table and set characterAlreadyHit to true if the player is in the table
			if char.Name == v then
				characterAlreadyHit = true
			end
		end
		
		if not characterAlreadyHit then -- Will deal damage to the player if they are not on the table
			char.Humanoid:TakeDamage(wpnDamage)
			table.insert(char.Name) -- Add the player to the table so they can't be hit again
		end

	end
end

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if not debounce then
		debounce = true
		Activated = true
		wait(2)
		Activated = false
		hitPlayers = {} -- After the weapon stops being able to attack, the table is cleared
		debounce = false
	end
end)

Handle.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
