I have made a script that will take away 5 health when touched
function onTouched(hit)
local human = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (human ~= nil) then
human.Health = human.Health - 5
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
how do i make it so when touching it will only take away 5 per every 2 seconds?
To add to Nexiterate - if you want the script (wait of 2 seconds) to be separate for every player who touches the brick.
local touchers = {}
local part = script.Parent
local function damage(player)
local hum = player.Character:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum then
hum:TakeDamage(5)
end
touchers[player.Name] = tick() -- Update the last time they were damaged
end
part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit and hit.Parent then
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
local index = touchers[player.Name]
if not index then
-- if player isn't even in the table yet, then damage them.
damage(player)
else -- if the player is in the table
if tick() - index >= 2 then
-- If the last time they were damage was more than or equal to 2 seconds, then damage them.
damage(player)
end
end
end
end
end)
You may achieve that using a debounce that the roblox wiki has some helpful and detailed info about what a debounce is and how to use it, you can check that out here
The code you could use is the following:
local debounce = false
function onTouched(hit)
local human = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if human and not debounce then
debounce = true -- changing it to true so if the player touches it again before the two seconds have passed it would not run
human.Health = human.Health - 5
wait(2) -- the function will only run if debounce is set to false, so here it waits two seconds then it reverts it back to being false
debounce = false
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
Hope it helped! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to let me know.
