02 | local larm = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Left Arm") |
03 |
04 | function dmg(hit) |
05 | if hit.Parent ~= nil then |
06 | local hum = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") |
07 | if hum ~= nil then |
08 | hum.Health = hum.Health -10 |
09 | end |
10 | end |

The function <Object>:WaitForChild(<thing>,<timeout>) as you can see it has two arguments One for the name of the object you're looking for and a timeout (in seconds). So if you have no timeout in your script's it will hang for a while until the timeout error Infinite yield is thrown.
The proper way to use the function is as follows:
--Wrong way (kinda)
01 | local rarm = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Right Arm") -- this will hang the script if it cannot find an object named "Right Arm", Though if it finds it then it will continue as normal! |
02 |
03 | local larm = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Left Arm") -- this will hang the script if it cannot find an object named "Left Arm", Though if it finds it then it will continue as normal! |
04 |
05 | function dmg(hit) |
06 | if hit.Parent ~= nil then |
07 | local hum = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") |
08 | if hum ~= nil then |
09 | hum.Health = hum.Health -10 |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 |
14 | rarm.Touched:connect(dmg) |
15 | larm.Touched:connect(dmg) |
Correct Way:
01 | local rarm = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Right Arm",10) -- this will suspend the script until the object("Right Arm") appears in script.Parent. If it doesn't find it after 10 secs it will make this equal nil |
02 |
03 | local larm = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Left Arm",10) -- this will suspend the script until the object("Left Arm") appears in script.Parent. If it doesn't find it after 10 secs it will make this equal nil |
04 | function dmg(hit) |
05 | if hit.Parent ~= nil then |
06 | local hum = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") |
07 | if hum ~= nil then |
08 | hum.Health = hum.Health -10 |
09 | end |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | --// if any of the above checks come back nil, this table will be filled with nil's and since you cannot have a nil property of a table the length of the table will be less than the number of checks! |
13 | local ChkTable = {rarm,larm} |
14 | if(#ChkTable < 2) then |
15 | if(rarm == nil) then warn("Error: Right Arm is nil!") end |
16 | if(larm == nil) then warn("Error: Left Arm is nil!") end |
17 | error("Error: Something went wrong with WaitForChild() Checks as not all objects are found in the check table!") |
18 | end |
19 | rarm.Touched:connect(dmg) |
20 | larm.Touched:connect(dmg) |
ask if your unsure on anything and Hope this helps! :)
