Asked 208 views1 answers
script.Parent.Blade.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if equipped and humanoid  and humanoid.Health >=0 then
	print(hit.Parent.Name)
	target = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild'Humanoid'
		if target and target.Health >= 0 then
			print(hit.Parent.Name)
			target:TakeDamage(damage.Value)
			end
	end
end)

the code fires like 5 touched events when ever it hits something with a humanoid

local deb = true

script.Parent.Blade.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if equipped and humanoid  and humanoid.Health >=0 and deb == true then
	deb = false
    print(hit.Parent.Name)
    target = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild'Humanoid'
        if target and target.Health >= 0 then
            print(hit.Parent.Name)
            target:TakeDamage(damage.Value)
            end
wait()
	deb = true
    end
end)

Creating a debounce makes it so that the item can't be touched again for a certain amount of time.
