Asked 234 views2 answers

Basically the title.

local touching = false
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local function onTouch(part)
    local hum = player:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

    if hum then
        touching = true

        repeat
            hum:TakeDamage(5)
            wait(1)
        until not touching 
    end
end

local function onTouchEnd(part)
    local hum = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

    if hum then 
        touching = false
    end
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(onTouchEnd)

I don't think it will run onTouchEnd() because the repeat is running. This may not be the case though.

local debounce = false
local i = 0

function onTouch(char)
    if char.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and debounce == false then 
		debounce = true
		i = i + 1
        local hum = char.Parent.Humanoid
		if i == 1 then
			char.Parent.Health.Disabled = true
        	repeat
           		hum.Health = hum.Health-5
            	wait(1)
        	until debounce == false
			i = 0
			char.Parent.Health.Disabled = false
		end
    end
end

function touchedLand()
    debounce = false
end

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
workspace.Baseplate.Touched:Connect(touchedLand) --Edit this line 'workspace.Baseplate' to the part that is considered land.

This script would be placed under the part.

I fixed it, it was the mesh was breaking it. But now it rapidly kills you when you walk in it. Any fix?

Try now. It turns out that the debounce is needed, my apologies.

Put this in a ServerScript in SSS.

touching = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit)
local Hum = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Humanoid
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(Hum) ~= nil then
	touching = true
	while touching do
			Hum.Health = Hum.Health - 10
		end
	end
end)
script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
touching = false
end)
