How would I make an area attack do damage to players over time?
I have a part that has CanCollide == false and Anchored == true. I want it so that when a player is inside the part(in the area of effect), they will take damage every 1 second or so. I've tried multiple ways of going about this but they seem to never work. Is there a special way of doing this, can anyone help me out? Also, this has to do damage to multiple players over time not just one.

If you already have a working script, you're going to want to create layers so that when the player moves through it they take damage, or a loop that damages any players within it for a certain amount of time. the loop, based on your question, should be wait(1).

Yes I know that it needs to be a loop for damage but I dont know how I would start making that bit of code. Wolf5429 15 — 7y

Decide to use the onion layering system. Make thin layers, as the player animation will, if the player remains there, make them touch a new layer if they just stand there. Attempt to make thin sheets in the Y axis and either X or Z. This way a player using R6 will suffer as much adage as one using R15. just my ten cents. billybobRAE 41 — 7y

I made a script to put in the part, it has issues with it and doesn't work much but here it is.
01 | local Settings = { |
02 | ['TimeWait'] = .2, -- How long per run |
03 | ['Damage'] = 5, -- Damage per Run |
04 | } |
05 |
06 |
07 | local using = false |
08 |
09 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part) -- Part Touched |
10 | if game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) then -- Checks if the part is a player |
11 | if not using then |
12 | if part.Name == "Left Leg" or part.Name == "LeftFoot" or part.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then |
13 | using = true |
14 | print("Using") |
15 | local humanoid = part.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") |

Is there any simpler way of doing this? Also, this looks like a script to use during one touch of the part not a script for a part that needs to to damage over time. Wolf5429 15 — 7y

Well either way, I just tried the script and it doesn't work for my part for some reason. Wolf5429 15 — 7y
