why isnt my projectile system damaging ontouch?
ok. i made a script that lets you shoot projectiles when you press the key "e" now i need the projectiles to damage npcs on touch. i tried putting every damage script out there in the projectile, nothing worked. heres the script:
local sound = script.fire
local tweenservice = game:GetService("TweenService")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tear1 = game.ReplicatedStorage.Player1tear
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
print("Working")
sound:Play()
local clonetear = tear1:Clone()
clonetear.Parent = game.Workspace
clonetear.CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 5 tweenservice:Create(clonetear,TweenInfo.new(1,0,0),{CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 40,Transparency = 1},Enum.EasingStyle.Quint,Enum.EasingDirection.Out):Play()
game.Debris:AddItem(2.5,clonetear) -- change the number of time to wait until the ball dissapear,this can be the ball range untill get deleted
end
end)
keep in mind: theres a projectile in replicated storage called tear1 theres a sound in the script called fire the localscript in the codeblock goes into starterplayerscripts. any help?????

Seems like you're missing a .Touched which will trigger when the projectile hits something.
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
print("Working")
sound:Play()
local clonetear = tear1:Clone()
-- Touched event
clonetear.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local hitHumanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") -- Check for a humanoid
if hitHumanoid then
-- You'll need to set up some remote events to deal real damage.
hitHumanoid:TakeDamage(10) -- Deal damage
game.Debris:AddItem(0, clonetear) -- Remove projectile
end
end)
clonetear.Parent = game.Workspace
clonetear.CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 5
tweenservice:Create(clonetear,TweenInfo.new(1,0,0),{CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 40,Transparency = 1},Enum.EasingStyle.Quint,Enum.EasingDirection.Out):Play()
game.Debris:AddItem(2.5,clonetear)
end
end)

there wasn't any remote events in her answer. basically, remote events can transfer data from client to server, and vice versa. T3_MasterGamer 2189 — 2y

You will need to use the BasePart.Touched event in the projectile. If you don't know what the Touched even is, it fires when a part touches it.
This script below is the same as @SimpleFlame's answer but I modified a bit.
-- in client script
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isChatting)
if not isChatting then -- checks if the player is not typing in chat
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
print("Working")
sound:Play()
local clonetear = tear1:Clone()
clonetear.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local hitHumanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local hitPlayer = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) -- checks if it's a player
if hitHumanoid and not hitPlayer then -- checks if it's not a real player
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("DealDamage"):FireServer(10) -- Deal damage
game.Debris:AddItem(0, clonetear) -- Remove projectile
end
end)
clonetear.Parent = game.Workspace
clonetear.CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame + plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * 5
clonetear.Velocity = clonetear.CFrame.lookVector * 40 -- shoots the projectile
tweenservice:Create(clonetear,TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Quint,Enum.EasingDirection.Out),{Transparency = 1}):Play()
game.Debris:AddItem(2.5,clonetear)
end
end
end)
-- in server script (ServerScriptService)
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("DealDamage").OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, damage)
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
end)

and also if you can, make the damage a value, so it can be changed by lets say touching a part pakancina 19 — 2y

Oh, about @SimpleFlame saying about using remote events to damage players, it's because if player died in client script it wont always send to the server. So yes, you do need to make remote events. Make one in ReplicatedStorage named "DealDamage" and copy my script. T3_MasterGamer 2189 — 2y

did you pasted the whole script? pls look down at the script. you can see "in server script" line, remove that line from the client and put that line in a script in serverscriptstorage T3_MasterGamer 2189 — 2y
