In a regular lava brick why do you put if hit.Parent then?
Why would you put
local lava = script.Parent
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent then
local guy = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
if guy then
guy.Health = 0
end
end)
Whats the point of the
if hit.Parent then

Sometimes a hit can have a nil parent, it's just a fail-safe to ensure it won't error if hit doesn't have a parent.
