I have a script that gives a player a forcefield if they are inside a part, why isnt it working?
function onTouch(p)
local h = p.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h then
local ff = p.Parent:findFirstChild("ForceField")
if h.Health == 100 and not ff then
Instance.new("ForceField", h.Parent)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:connect(function()
if ff then
Instance.new("ForceField", h.Parent):Destroy()
end
end)
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)
can someone please tell me why this isnt working

function onTouch(p)
local h = p.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h then
local ff = p.Parent:FindFirstChild("ForceField")
if h.Health == 100 and not ff then
local newff = Instance.new("ForceField", p.Parent)
end
end
end
function onTouchEnded(p)
local h = p.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h then
local ff = p.Parent:FindFirstChild("ForceField")
if ff then
ff:Destroy()
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(onTouchEnded)
The problem was that you destroyed a new ForceField, not the one that the player had. Also, look out for lowercase and uppercase characters, as some functions may not work if not written correctly.
