How to use a sword to kill NPC only?

Asked by

Using a script online. script.Parent.blade.Touched:connect(function(p) if script.Parent.CanDamage.Value == true then p.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(20) script.Parent.CanDamage.Value = false end end)

The NPC humanoid part is named 'NPC'

IN THE script it says "Humanoid is not recognized"

but when I use

p.Parent.Henchmen.NPC:TakeDamage(20)

(the model is named henchmen and the humanoid part is named 'NPC')

When I swing the sword, it actually takes damage from the NPC far away without even touching it.

Thanks for help in advance.

That didn't help the problem, it just simply takes damage the minute I pull out the sword. robloxquestionnaire1 30 — 6y

You need to use something called GetPlayerFromCharacter. If we get a player, we ignore it, else we kill it. Don't rename your humanoid, somethings don't work when you rename the Humanoid.

script.Parent.Blade.Touched:Connect(function(part)
    if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        if game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) then -- make sure we can get the player from it
            local plr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
            if plr then 
                -- do nothing, it's a Player's character
            elseif not plr then -- just to make sure it's not a player
                part.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(20)
            end
        end
    end
end)
