make new instance from tool not damage player wielding it?
ok, so I have a tool that makes an instance spawn. the new instance has a code which then damages all players who touch it. but that's the problem, since it spawns at the position of the player... I think you get the point.
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 know I've been asking a lot of questions here but I just cant find the answer... it would also be appreciated if you could put the link to teach me about this kind of stuff. like in here: https://developer.roblox.com

So I fixed it:
local tool = script.Parent
local mouse
local debounce = false
local dmg = --set damage here
local player
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(m)
mouse = m
player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(tool.Parent)
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")
local playerName = player.Name
if h and not tool.Parent.Name ~= playerName then then
debounce = true
h:TakeDamage(dmg)
wait(1)
end
debounce = false
end)
end
end)
What I did here, was getting the player using :GetPlayerFromCharacter on tool.Parent.
Whenever the Instance is hit, it will check if the hit name is not equal to the player name.
I wasn't able to test it right now, but I hope it helped! You can always put down a comment if it didn't work.
