How To Deal Damage Once To A Player(FE)?

Asked by

How would I deal damage to a player when they are touched by a block, but only deal that damage once to that player while they are touching it and then if another player comes and touches the block then they only take the damage once, etc. I'm trying to make an attack that makes a giant "pool" all around them and then if a player touches it they take damage once and if a player walks into it, then they take the damage once. Any help? Also if anyone knows how to make a weapon equip from a script and not a tool then could you please go check out my previous post as well? Thanks.

try this:


--Server Script (Normal script)

local brick = script.Parent
local tbl= {}
local dmg = 50

brick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    local found = false
    for _,v in pairs(tbl) do
        if v == player.Name then
            found = true
        end
    end
    if not found then
        player.Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(dmg)
        tbl[#tbl+1] = player.Name
    end
end)

use table.insert(), other than that it looks pretty gud SmugNyan 24 — 6y

well, you can replace line 17 using table.insert(tbl,#tbl+1,player.Name) Rare_tendo 3000 — 6y
