local Shark = script.Parent
local Distance = 15
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Character ~= nil and player:DistanceFromCharacter(Shark.Position) <= Distance then
player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(5)
end
end
The purpose of this script is that if you come within 15 studs of the shark, you'll take 5 damage. However, it isn't working and it isn't showing anything in the output.
The problem here is that the code only runs once. Use some form of loop, like so:
local Distance = 15
local TimeInBetweenDamage = 3
local Shark = script.Parent
while wait(TimeInBetweenDamage) do
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Character and player:DistanceFromCharacter(Shark.Position) <= Distance then
player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(5)
end
end
end
TIP:
Format your code using Tab instead of Space, because it is more consistent and efficient.
Hope I helped!

It's my understanding that when copying code, the tabs get converted to spaces.
Really? I copy code all the time and the formatting works. Either way, put in the extra effort, cause it's hell reformatting code lol
