I was wondering why this guy did this like what is hits parent and how does it matter to the script?
script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if db then
if not canHit then
canHit = true
local effect = script.Parent.Handle.Effect:Clone()
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local hitSFX = Instance.new("Sound",hit.Parent.Head); hitSFX.SoundId = "rbxassetid://566593606"; hitSFX:Play()
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(25)
if con.bloodEffects == true then
effect.Parent = hit.Parent.HumanoidRootPart
effect.Enabled = true
end
end
wait(1)
effect:Destroy()
canHit = false
end
end
end)

It is used to identify the object that touched the instances. In this case, we're using it to identify humanoids.
hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
The script was told to find a child named "Humanoid". It's using a .Parent because the one that's hitting it is gonna be the character's limb. So hit.Parent is used to identify the Character.
If you do this without specifying hit, you're giving yourself a hard job; let's say I want to make a killing part, I will need to get the Character's humanoid that hit the part, right? You don't want to specify it yourself. Especially using a specified variable for it.
That's where the hit comes in handy.
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local Humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if Humanoid then
Humanoid.Health = 0
end
end)
It defines hit as the limb/part that hits it. Then it finds the Character's Humanoid with hit.Parent:FIndFirstChild(). It then checks if Humanoid is not nil. In this case, it found the Humanoid, executing the rest of the script.
(I'm sorry if this comes off unclear, inform me and I'll try to rewrite it if it's not clear enough.)
