Hit function not recognizing players body parts?
Im trying to create a test tool that destroys another players body part when touched yet its not working and not giving me any errors, Any ideas?
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local c = p.Character
local x = {"Right Arm", "Right Leg", "Torso", "Left Arm", "Left Leg", "Head"}
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent ~= c then return end
if hit.Parent == x then
x:Destroy()
end
end)

You're actually missing an end on the innermost if statement. Also, your variable names aren't very descriptive. hit.Parent will never == x either, because x is a table. "connect" is deprecated, you should use Connect instead. :)
Instead, I recommend on doing this in a server-script inside game.ServerScriptService:
local part = workspace.Part
local debounce = true
local childrenToDestroy = {"Left Arm"}
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
for _, characterChild in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
for _, targetChild in pairs(childrenToDestroy) do
if characterChild.Name == targetChild then
characterChild:Destroy()
end
end
end
end
end)
I'm assuming this is what you're trying to do but I'm not quite sure.
