how to add damaging to this new instance?
ok fellas, I've met a roadblock. I have this script, and im out of ideas on how to make it so that this darned new instance can cause damage when to players touching it... whether you can help or not, I thank you for reading this...
local tool = script.Parent
local mouse
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(m)
mouse = m
end)
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if mouse then
local Part = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
Part.Position = script.parent.Handle.Position
Part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
Part.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,0.5,0.5)
Part.CanCollide = false
Part.Anchored = true
--damage thing goes here
end
end)
sorry for posting a question that's very similar to my previous one but I really cant think of anything since I'm new and I suck at coding.

All you would need to do is use the variable you set for the part and connect the touched event to deal damage. That would make your script look like this:
local tool = script.Parent
local mouse
local debounce = false
local dmg = --set damage here
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(m)
mouse = m
end)
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
if mouse then
local Part = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
Part.Position = script.parent.Handle.Position
Part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
Part.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,0.5,0.5)
Part.CanCollide = false
Part.Anchored = true
Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h then
debounce = true
h:TakeDamage(dmg)
wait(1)
end
debounce = false
end)
end
end)
I did a little more than adding touched. One thing I did was add debounce so that the part could only deal damage once every second. The second thing I did was add a variable named "dmg" so you could easily change how much damage the part deals. Hope this helped!
