Goal:

My goal is to simply create a Sword that will play an animation and deal damage on click. I want the damage to ONLY deal damage when the animation is playing and touched the enemy.

Problem:

Everything works fine except the damaging part. So say an enemy is 100 studs away if I click once and then run up to the enemy and the sword touches the enemy without me clicking again it will deal damage. the system basically stores it as this player has clicked so I can now deal damage which isn't what I want. I want the player to click, play the animation and during the animation playing if sword touches enemy it deals damage.

Code:

01--// Normal Vars \\--
02local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
03local Char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
04local Humanoid = Char.Humanoid
05local Mouse = plr:GetMouse()
06 
07local EquippedItems = plr:WaitForChild('EquippedItems')
08local Weapons = plr:WaitForChild('Weapons')
09local PlayerStatus = plr:WaitForChild('PlayerStatus')

11--// Services \\--
12local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
13local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

15--// Settings \\--
16local EW = ReplicatedStorage.Weapons[EquippedItems.CurrentWeapon.Value]
17local Equipped = PlayerStatus.WeaponEquipped

19--// RemoteEvents \\--
20local RE = {
21    DamageEvent = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.DamageEvent;
22}

24--// Animation Ids \\--
25local Animation = Instance.new('Animation')

27local SwordAnimations = {
28    'rbxassetid://2042283613',
29    'rbxassetid://2042413532',
30    }

32local Count = 1

34local ItemInformation = require(ReplicatedStorage.ItemInformation)

36local Debounce = true
37Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
38    if Equipped.Value and Debounce and Char then
39        Debounce = false
40        if ItemInformation[EquippedItems.CurrentWeapon.Value].Type == 'Sword' then
41            local HitDebounce = true
42            Animation.AnimationId = SwordAnimations[Count]
43            local Load = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
44            Load:Play()         
45            local HitBoxTouchCon
46            HitBoxTouchCon = Char.UpperTorso[EquippedItems.CurrentWeapon.Value].HitBox.Touched:Connect(function(H)
47                if Load.IsPlaying and HitDebounce and H.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') ~= nil then
48                    HitDebounce = false
49                    local Enemy = H.Parent.Humanoid         
50                    RE.DamageEvent:FireServer(ItemInformation[EquippedItems.CurrentWeapon.Value]["Damage"], Enemy, EquippedItems.CurrentWeapon.Value)                           
51                end
52            end)
53            Count = Count + 1
54            if Count > #SwordAnimations then
55                Count = 1
56            end
57            wait(0.7)
58            HitDebounce = true
59            Debounce = true
60        end

This is only part of my code. note that this is a LocalScript

Server Script:

1local SerDmgD = true
2RE.DamageEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, Dmg, Enemy, Wep)
3    if Dmg == ItemInformation[Wep].Damage and SerDmgD then
4        SerDmgD = false
5        Enemy:TakeDamage(Dmg)
6        wait(0.6)
7        SerDmgD = true
8    end
9end)

My other part is a UserInputService and welds the Sword to the player.

I appreciate any feedback that will help Solve the problem.

How else would I manage Touch, and how else would I said ~= nil BlackOrange3343 2676 — 6y

Handle the touching part in the serverscript as incapaz said and make another script which will damage another player on contact and make it disabled by default, then everytime the player clicks you enable the damage script for the duration of the animation (i.e if the animation is 2 seconds long enable it for 2 seconds and then disable it so the touch event doesn't get fired afterwards.)

Try putting the Damage code in a KeyframeReached event and assign a Keyframe name in the editor. Here is some more information. https://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/AnimationTrack/KeyframeReached Alvin_Blox 52 — 6y
