how do I make a brick that damages the player when he is on it??
Im having a problem. I wanted to make a brick which while the player is on the brick, it damages him.
My script is:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) while hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") do hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 5 wait(1) end
end)
to me, the while do loop would only work if the player is still on the brick. But when I run it, its a soon as he steps on the brick, it continues to do the loop until he dies. I also tried this:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
while hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") do
while hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") do
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 5
wait(1)
end
end
end)
and this:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 5 wait(1) end
end)
But none of the above work. I really need help. Thank you Nachsor

:connect() is deprecated, switch to :Connect
If you want it to damage WHILE it’s standing on the brick, and stop when it stops touching, do this, it will teach you a thing or two.
local debounce = false
local touching = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(part) -- connect is deprecated use Connect
local hum = part.Parent:FindFirstChild"Humanoid"
if hum then
if not debounce then
debounce = true
touching = true
while touching do
hum:TakeDamage(5)
wait(.5)
end
wait(.5)
debounce = false
end
end
end)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(part)
touching = false
end)
Hello incapaz,
Thank you, that does work but only if the player is moving. This is still really helpful and is better than the situation was stuck in before.
Thank you very much for your help, it is very appreciated.
Thank you Nachsor
