Damage range with a part? [CLOSED]

I'm trying to make a part appear, and damage all players (except the client player) within the light's radius (inside the part, which is 16 by 16 by 16 inside a 16 range light). The entire script works, but the damage part is the part I'm trying to figure out. Sometimes it damages them, sometimes it doesn't. Please help. Oh, and, here's the script and the layout is here.

01local tool = script.Parent
02local handle = tool.Handle
03local light = handle.PointLight
04local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
05local Enabled = true
06local debounce = false
07 
08function activated()
09    if Enabled == true then
10        Enabled = false
11        wait()
12        local col = game.Lighting.Storage.collide:Clone()
13        col.Parent = tool
14        col.Position = handle.Position
15        col.Anchored = false
16        wait()
17        light.Brightness = 100
18        light.Range = 18
19        wait()
20        col.Touched:connect(function(hit)
21            if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent.Name ~= player.Name and debounce == false then
22                debounce = true
23                hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
24                debounce = false
25            end
26        end)
27        for i = 1, 10 do
28            wait(.01)
29            col.Position = Vector3.new(0,.01,0)
30        end
31        light.Brightness = 1
32        light.Range = 16
33        tool:FindFirstChild("collide"):Destroy()
34        wait(.2)
35        Enabled = true
36    end
37end

I cannot be 100% sure this would work but

At line 20, try using

`1`	`col.LocalSimulationTouched:connect(function(hit)`

since this is a localscript.

That is sadly your best hope with a touched bullet in a localscript unless you use Raycast.

Damn, didn't work. Do you know how to use Raycasting? Cause I sure as hell don't. x3 hudzell 238 — 11y

Search up Raycasting the how to make a Raycasting laser gun on wiki.roblox.com Bebee2 195 — 11y

I looked at that page, but I am trying to make area/splash damage, like an AoE attack in World of Warcraft, not just a laser gun. hudzell 238 — 11y
