its supposed to do damage to the person it touches beside the person creating the part(fireEmmit)

but it doesn't do damage at all when i have the and not character.RightHand part in it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ fireEmmit.Touched:Connect(function(Part) if Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and not Character.RightHand then local Human = Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") Human.Health = Human.Health -22 end ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please use code blocks. User#19524 175 — 5y

Click the Lua button, and on the question body, there will be tildes. Put your code in between the tildes. User#19524 175 — 5y

I tidied up your code a bit. You don’t need the `~= nil` bit, ROBLOX Developer Hub says it’s inefficient. You also need to use `not part.Parent:FindFirstChild"RightHand"` to make sure there isn’t a `RightHand`.

fireEmmit.Touched:Connect(function(part)
    if part.Parent:FindFirstChild"Humanoid" then
        if not part.Parent:FindFirstChild"RightHand" then
            part.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(22)
        end
    end
end)

incapaz can you check my question? Else not functioning properly? mixgingengerina10 223 — 5y
