Script debounce does not work properly and instakills the player [?]

Hey scripters! My script that decreases player's health on touch of an npc doesn't work properly - it insta kills player with no debounce (i scripted it) Heres the script:

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ActivateJumpscareEvent
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if not debounce then
		debounce = true
		local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player)
		Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health - 25
		wait(1)
		debounce = false
	end
end)

The script is server script. Thanks!

Do you see any errors in the output related to 'attempt to index nil with Character'?

I believe that the NPC is constantly registering .Touched events with other BaseParts around them, which is causing the debounce to reset to false as soon as it enables.

Try checking if the hit.Parent is a player before you enable the debounce.

Something like:

local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ActivateJumpscareEvent
local debounce = false

script.Parent.Humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if Player and not debounce then
        debounce = true
        RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player)
        Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health - 25
        wait(1)
        debounce = false
    end
end)

Lol I am sorry i just noticed I had two scripts in one humanoid which kills the player (minus 100 HP) and which damages him (-25 every 3 sec) Also I had an error that broke the script with these events. So in conclusion I can say that whoever you are always use output window and solve errors and dont let the scripts conflict!
