Hi I have tried to make a script that every second you are on the brick you take 10 damage.
function lava(hit)
local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid ~= nil then
humanoid.Health = -10
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(lava)
With roblox physics, you don't only touch an object once.. you "bounce" on the object; therefore, touching it 5, 6, 7, etc.. times. Due to this, often times a Debounce is set up.
A debounce essentially prevents the code from firing multiple times, even if the event is fired multiple times. A debounce makes it so you check a value before continuing the code. If this value is false then turn it true and do the code. If it's true then do nothing.
Set up a debounce in your code, and disable it after one second.
Also, on line 4, you were just setting the health value to -10. To subtract 10 health you need to set the value relatively to itself. So you set the health value to the health value minus 10; health = health - 10
--Define the debounce
local db = false
function lava(hit)
--Check the debounce
if not db then
--Set the debounce
db = true
local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid ~= nil then
humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health -10
end
--Wait 1 second
wait(1)
--Disable debounce.
db = false
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(lava)
Your problem is this line
humanoid.Health = -10 -- This just sets the health to -10
Instead you need to do this:
humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health - 10
Also, as the function will be continuously called, you'll need a debounce in there.
local debounce = false
function lava(hit)
if debounce then return end -- If the person has taken damage recently (see wait(1)) then don't take it again
local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid ~= nil then
debounce = true
humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health - 10
wait(1) -- I'd also add a wait here
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(lava)
Hope this helped.
