Any errors?

That's not how we roll, sorry. You're clearly not the author of this script, markus6, and haven't made any attempt to investigate the problem yourself, show a little initiative and then we'll see what we can do.

I'm guessing if the damage isn't working then it has something to do with this function.

function BlowDamage(hit, damage) local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) if humanoid ~= nil and MyHumanoid ~= nil and humanoid ~= MyHumanoid then if not MyPlayer.Neutral then
end end

    local rightArm = MyCharacter:FindFirstChild('Right Arm')
    if (rightArm ~= nil) then

        local joint = rightArm:FindFirstChild('RightGrip')
        if (joint ~= nil and (joint.Part0 == Handle or joint.Part1 == Handle)) then -- Not sure if both parts should be Handle.
            if player and not HitPlayers[player] then
                TagHumanoid(humanoid, MyPlayer)
                print("Sending " .. damage)
                humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
                Handle.Splat.Volume = 1
                HitPlayers[player] = true
            end
        end
    end
end
