hi, i made a gun script that has a objectvalue that test if that value has a humanoid. if it does it removes some health. but it won't damage anything? please help!

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character
local target = script.Parent.Target
local tracking = false
local canuse = true
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	tracking = true
end)
while wait() do
	if tracking == true then
		target.Value = mouse.Target
	end
end
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if target.Value.Parent.Humanoid ~= nil then
		target.Value.Parent.Humanoid.Health = target.Value.Humanoid.Health-10
	end
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	tracking = false
end)

How can an object be nil?

it tests if the object isn't nil (aka ~=)

Not apart of the problem, but you use :TakeDamage(damage) instead to make decreasing health simpler
