.Touched function doesn't work for me when I'm trying to deal damage to others, help?
So basically, I've been making this attack script and I really need this damage thing to work, here's what I got right now, it's meant to work but doesn't. Can anyone please hint out the mistake?
1 | part.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
2 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then |
3 | if hit.Parent.Name ~= Player.Name then |
4 | hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(math.huge) |
5 | end |
6 | end |
7 | end) |

Is this what you meant?
01 | local playername = "tantec" -- name of the player NOT to deal damage to. |
02 |
03 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
04 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers())do |
05 | if v and v.Character and v.Character:IsAncestorOf(hit) then |
06 | if v.Name:lower() ~= playername:lower() then |
07 | v.Character:BreakJoints() |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end |
11 | end) |

part should be defined so maybe put the script under the part and use script.Parent
don't use :connect instead use :Connect
~=nil is also not needed and you shouldn't use hit.Parent~=Player.Name instead, just use if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
math.huge is an infinite value so you can just do max damage or a certain integer hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
your script should end up like
1 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
2 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
3 | hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = 0 |
4 | end |
5 | end) |

I don't get it. Why do people keep complaining about using :connect or :Connect? It's a RBXSignal, what diffirences are there between those two? magicguy78942 238 — 7y

None. One's deprecated. Not really an issue. OldPalHappy 1477 — 7y

I don't think I've rephrased this properly, basically the original script was meant to kill others and not myself, plus the script that I'm using is for script builder so I can't do it like that. Also, the script works on a part that's not touching me so I think the problem is that it's only getting my name and no one else because it spawns from me tantec 305 — 7y
