How would i make this forcefield affect other people but not me?

Asked by

I am currently trying to make a Force Field at the moment and it all works fine, i'm still working on pretty much everything about this, but there is one thing that is stumping me. I can't get my force field to affect other people but not me. Basically, if anybody touches the forcefield, or goes inside of it, they take damage, but if i touch it, i don't want to take damage. I'm not too familiar with local players as apposed to any other character. The function of the hitting a character is at the bottom of the code. I tried to make a little bit of code, but i never could quite figure it out, please help me, thanks in advance! :)

local tool = script.Parent

Something = not nil

local debounce = false

local character = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
local player = character.Character or character.CharacterAdded:wait()

tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
    mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
        if key == "q" and debounce == false then
    debounce = true
    print("ForceField")
    local ForceField = Instance.new("Part", player)
    ForceField.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Deep blue")
    ForceField.Transparency = 0.7
    ForceField.CanCollide = false
    ForceField.Anchored = true
    ForceField.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
    ForceField.Size = Vector3.new(25,25,25)
    ForceField.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
    ForceField.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
    ForceField.Position = player.Torso.Position
    ForceField.Parent = game.Workspace
    ForceField.Touched:connect(function(hit)
        local anyplayer = game:GetService('Players')
        local localplayer = 
        if
            anyplayer then
            print ("firing")
        elseif

        end
    end)
    wait(2)
    ForceField:remove()
    debounce = false
    end
end)
end)

Couldn't you just use an if statement to check if the player who touched the force field's name is the same as yours? User#11440 120 — 8y

Check

You have your hit variable, and you can find out if the part belongs to a player using Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent). With this, checking to see if you touched it is trivial.

However, I would recommend checking to see if Hit is a descendant of the Player's Character because that will work better for hats and tools.

part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if not hit:IsDescendantOf(character) then -- If it's not you
        print("DEATH TO THE HEATHENS")
    else
        print("Hi me.")
    end
end)
