Doesn't work in a NPC but works inside a part, why?

Asked 191 views1 answers

So, I'm creating a zombie NPC that damages a player on touch and the script worked perfectly fine until I decided to add a debounce to it. The script still works, however, the script works inside any part that isn't inside a NPC. Once it's placed inside a part inside a NPC it won't work. I don't understand, someone please help!

debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if debounce == false then 
		debounce = true 
		h.Health = h.Health - 50
		wait(2)
		debounce = false
	end
end)

Make sure to check that the 'hit' has a Humanoid, because if it touches an accessory, the script world break, since it wouldn't be able to find a humanoid in the accessory.

The torso or whatever this script is inside of is most likely hitting the other parts of the NPC, causing the debounce to go off.

Do you know how I could fix that?

✓ Accepted answer
debounce = false

for i, v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
	if v.ClassName == "Part" then
		v.Touched:connect(function(hit)
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
				if debounce == false then 
					debounce = true 
					h.Health = h.Health - 50
					wait(2)
					debounce = false
				end
			end
	
		end)
	end
end

Put that script inside of the NPC

Are you putting the script inside of the NPC's model? (Not the humanoid)

Thank you for clarifying. I was placing the script inside of a part located in the NPC.
