Problem with a forcefield giver?

Asked Jun 17, 2015189 views2 answers

My forcefield giver doesnt give the forcefield when a player touches it. I want it to check if a player already has a forcefield. If they don't, it gives them one.

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if h.Parent:FindFirstChild("ForceField") == nil then
		local ff = Instance.new("ForceField")
		ff.Parent = h
	end
end)

✓ Accepted answer

You're parenting the ForceField to the Humanoid instead of the Character Model. As well, you never actually check if h is not nil:

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if h and not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("ForceField") then
        Instance.new("ForceField", hit.Parent)
    end
end)

The problem is that you need to make sure hit is nil by using ~=nil ****FINAL CODE

function onTouched(hit)
local h = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h ~= nil then
local f = Instance.new("ForceField")
f.Parent = hit.Parent
end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
