Are there any better ways to deal damage than this?

local enabled = false

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(Hit)
    if not enabled then
        enabled = true
local human = Hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if (human ~= nil) then
                human.Health = human.Health - 30 
       wait(2)
           enabled = false
        end
    end
end)

This rarely works so I was wondering if there were anything better I could use. Thank you

Try using human:TakeDamage(x)

local enabled = false

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(Hit)
    if not enabled then
        enabled = true
local human = Hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if (human ~= nil) then
                human:TakeDamage(30)
       wait(2)
           enabled = false
        end
    end
end)

Should work.

Yes, use TakeDamage, like how @pwnd64 said, the thing is, his answer does not have enough information.

TakeDamage(float)

TakeDamage subtracts health from the humanoid. This only works if the player does NOT have a force field on. You can use TakeDamage to actually heal players by doing a negative number.

Humanoid:TakeDamage(30)

Final Product

local debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(part)
    local h = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if h and not debounce then
        debounce = true
        h:TakeDamage(30)
        wait(3)
        debounce = false
    end
end)

Hope it helps!
