Why is the output saying the local players name, instead of the "hit"' name?
So i'm trying to detect when a part gets touched, and if hit has met a certain qouta, inflict damage. heres the script.
LOCAL SCRIPT
01 | script.Parent.Main.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
02 | if hit.Parent.Name ~= player.Name then |
03 | if hit.Parent.Humanoid then |
04 | if CanDamage.Value == true then |
05 | script.Parent.DamageEvent:FireServer(hit.Parent.Name) |
06 | CanDamage.Value = false |
07 |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end |
11 | end) |
SERVER SCRIPT
1 | DamageEvent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(playerhit) |
2 | print(playerhit) |
3 | workspace:FindFirstChild(playerhit).Humanoid:TakeDamage(30) |
4 |
5 | end) |
so when i press play and hit something, (the output should say four, since im hitting a dummy named four), the output prints out the local players name. and saying its a nil value- even though ive checked over everything and it should be working.

Try using:
1 | if player.Name == game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name then else |

Replace line 2 in the local script with
1 | hit.Parent ~= player.Character |
then replace line 3 with
1 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
then replace line 5 with
1 | script.Parent.DamageEvent:FireServer(hit.Parent) |
then replace line 1 of the server script with
1 | DamageEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(hit.Parent) |
then replace line 2 of the server script with
1 | print(hit.Parent.Name) |
then replace line 3 of the server script with
1 | hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(30) |

It still gives me the 13:56:54.234 - [Players.Envoked.Backpack.Test Sword.Yeah:36: attempt to index a nil value] error. Thanks for trying though :D Envoked -11 — 6y
