Hello Im trying to make a weapon that other than deal normal damage it deals like a poison damage like one damage every second for 10 seconds
I don't know if you're asking for the whole gun script, or just the poison damage part. Due to this, I will link a video for making a working gun and I will go over the poison script.
In the part off the script where it will deal damage, so if the bullet successfully hit a player it will need to loop through it 10 times, once for every second. You can do this by saying
for i = 1 , 10 do end
This will loop 10 times. Now we need the damage part, so at the start off the script we will declare a number variable called "Damage". This is just to make it easier to change. We also need the Humanoid declared.
local Damage = 1 local Humanoid -- Declare the humanoid in a different part off the code, it depends how you scripted the gun system on where this will be. -- Other gun code here for i = 1 , 10 do end -- Other gun code here
Now we need to actually damage the player, we can do this by running Humanoid.Health -= Damage
, this way it takes damage and if it will be an amount to kill them, it will ignore the forcefield. We can also call Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage)
. This way the player can't take damage if they got attacked while having the force field. This is the way I will use it.
So now, our poison code will look something like this:
local Damage = 1 local Humanoid -- Declare the humanoid in a different part off the code, it depends how you scripted the gun system on where this will be. -- Other gun code here for i = 1 , 10 do Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage) end -- Other gun code here
Finally, we need to add a wait(1). This is because it will instantly run this loop and deal the damage in one go. The final code should look like this:
local Damage = 1 local Humanoid -- Declare the humanoid in a different part off the code, it depends how you scripted the gun system on where this will be. -- Other gun code here for i = 1 , 10 do Humanoid:TakeDamage(Damage) wait(1) end -- Other gun code here
This poison script is ran on the server
