I wrote a script to slowly damage a player when they stand on a brick. It does not work, and I get no errors. What's the problem?
part = script.Parent
function onTouch(hit)
local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum then
hum:WaitForChild("Health")
while hum.Health ~= 0 do
hum:TakeDamage(1)
end
end
end
part.Touched:connect(onTouch)
hum:WaitForChild("Health")
Health is not a child. It's a property. Since the 'Health' child will never exist, this will wait forever.
You reference it fine the rest of the time, so just taking out that entire line should work.
You have no delay in the while loop, so it will essentially kill you instantly. Use the wait function.
Now it should run, but it might not work as expected because you don't have a debounce. Check out that wiki link for a very good tutorial on the subject.
Try while hum.Health > 0 do
Also, put a print statement inside your loop to see if it gets reached
