Is .Touched Event broken or did I do something wrong? Need help!

Asked 238 views2 answers

Here's my script;

local Sword = script.Parent
local Hitting = false
local Dmg = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild('Stats').Damage

Sword.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	print('TOUCHED THE GOD')
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
		if Hitting == false then
			Hitting = true
			if Hitting == true then
				return
			else
				local Enemy = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
				Enemy.Health = Enemy.Health - Dmg.Value
				wait(2)
				Hitting = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

This is a Server Script inside of a part inside of a model.

Stats is a folder inside the model.

Inside stats we have the stats (duh) they are number values.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong but It's not doing damage.

Thank you for any feed back support and help.

You should use GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit)

I don't think there is any reason to use the hitting variable, but I think you needed to add GetPlayerFromCharacter, because the hit.Parent would just be the player, and the humanoid is located inside of the players character. 

local Dmg = script.Dmg
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) 
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) 
	local hum = player.Character.Humanoid
	hum.Health = hum.Health - Dmg.Value
	end)

Hopefully this works for you. If it did, please upvote and accept answer. If it didn't please comment. Thanks!

No. The humanoid is located on the player's module under Workspace, not the service, Players.

Oh. I see.

I think this is what is broken. On line 10, why did you make a if statement if that value just got immediately changed? That is why it is not working.

Hold on I will keep this note right here. I'm currently working on something else I will come back after fixing.
