How do I make NPCs not hurt eachother with swords?
Hey there. So, in this game I'm currently developing, I have these enemy NPCs that you must attack. Right now, I've just added swords to the enemies, but they seem to cause damage to each other when the sword goes near them. This is the one part of the code from the LinkedSwords I've edited from them.
--Beginning sword code here
function blow(hit)
if (hit.Parent == nil) and (hit.Parent == "Blooborn") then return end -- happens when bullet hits sword
local humanoid = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
local vCharacter = Tool.Parent
local vPlayer = game.Players:playerFromCharacter(vCharacter)
local hum = vCharacter:findFirstChild("Humanoid") -- non-nil if tool held by a character
if humanoid~=nil and humanoid ~= hum and hum ~= nil then
-- final check, make sure sword is in-hand
local right_arm = vCharacter:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
if (right_arm ~= nil) then
local joint = right_arm:FindFirstChild("RightGrip")
if (joint ~= nil and (joint.Part0 == sword or joint.Part1 == sword)) then
tagHumanoid(humanoid, vPlayer)
humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
wait(1)
untagHumanoid(humanoid)
end
end
end
end
--The rest of the sword code here
I'm not sure if I edited it correctly, so, my question is: How would I fix this part of the code? Cause I don't think Flow Control would have a key part in this..

That's not the best way to do it, because then 'NPC' will be above every enemies' head, which is probably not what he wants.
To do what I think you want, you need to check if it is a player.
This can be easily done by using game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
Therefore, you can just simply do this:
if not game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(humanoid.Parent) then return end --Stops the function if the player does not exist.

Change the NPC's name to NPC(Model Name to NPC)
--Beginning sword code here
function blow(hit)
if (hit.Parent == nil) and (hit.Parent == "Blooborn") then return end -- happens when bullet hits sword
local humanoid = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")

local vPlayer = game.Players:playerFromCharacter(vCharacter)
local hum = vCharacter:findFirstChild("Humanoid") -- non-nil if tool held by a character

-- final check, make sure sword is in-hand
local right_arm = vCharacter:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
if (right_arm ~= nil) then
local joint = right_arm:FindFirstChild("RightGrip")
if (joint ~= nil and (joint.Part0 == sword or joint.Part1 == sword)) then
tagHumanoid(humanoid, vPlayer)
if humanoid.Parent.Name == "NPC" then
print("Safe")
else
humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
wait(1)
untagHumanoid(humanoid)
end
end
end
end
end
