Why won't this mesh rotate? and why does the instance spawn ABOVE the forcefield?

I am creating a forcefield tool and i'm still tweaking all of the parts, but i'm stumped at a part. Whenever this mesh spawns, the object doesn't rotate continually like i want it to. Also, when the mesh spawns, it spawns above the Force Field instead of inside it, next to the humanoid like I want it too. I'm assuming that's a collision issue, but i still don't know how to fix it. Here is the code:

01local tool = script.Parent
02 
03local health = false
04 
05x = math.random(25, 50)
06y = math.random(25, 50)
07 
08a = 0
09 
10b = 0
11 
12local debounce = false
13 
14local character = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
15local player = character.Character or character.CharacterAdded:wait()
16 
17tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
18    mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
19        if key == "q" and debounce == false then
20    debounce = true
21    print("ForceField")
22    local ForceField = Instance.new("Part", player)
23    ForceField.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Deep blue")
24    ForceField.Transparency = 0.7
25    ForceField.CanCollide = false
26    ForceField.Anchored = true
27    ForceField.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
28    ForceField.Size = Vector3.new(25,25,25)
29    ForceField.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
30    ForceField.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
31    ForceField.Position = player.Torso.Position
32    ForceField.Parent = game.Workspace
33 
34    ForceField.Touched:connect(function(hit)
35        local humanoid = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
36        if not hit:IsDescendantOf(player) and health == false then
37            health = true
38            humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health -3
39            print ("DEATH TO THE HEATHENS")
40            health = false
41        else
42            print("Hi Me ;)")
43        end
44    end)
45    tool.Equipped:connect(function(mouse)
46    mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
47        if key == "q" and debounce == false then
48    local explosion = Instance.new("Part", player)
49    local m = Instance.new("SpecialMesh")
50    m.Parent = explosion
51    m.MeshType = "FileMesh"
52    m.MeshId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=20329976"
53    m.TextureId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=39251676"
54    m.Scale = Vector3.new(8,8,8)
55    explosion.Size = Vector3.new(8,8,8)
56    explosion.Anchored = true
57    explosion.CanCollide = false
58    explosion.Transparency = 0
59    repeat
60        explosion.Rotation = Vector3.new(0,a,0)
61        wait(.1)
62        a = a+3
63    until
64    b == 0
65    explosion.Position = player.Torso.Position
66    explosion.Parent = game.Workspace
67    wait(2)
68    explosion:remove()

it's quite a lot of code, but it's just spawning two different parts next to your character and damages anyone else that touches it, lol. Thanks in advance!

I also now realize, looking at my code as a whole that at the end, the until statement also contains the explosion.position so it's repeating until it's at the position, so i tried putting an end statement at the end of the until, but that still doesn't work :/ Sparkflyer34 40 — 8y
