My sword won't inflict damage to others?

I know making a new script is unefficient but I don't know how to script that well and what you are doing above is kind of hard to read. I honestly think it is a lot less challenging to use this script than to use an event. Make sure if you use my script that it is in a server script located under your sword's handle. It has a debounce if you don't want it to immeadiately kill someone it won't. This script might seem stupid but I hope it helps you.

-- DominusInfinitus

function debounce(func)  --Debounce optional 
    local isRunning = false    
    return function(...)       
        if not isRunning then
            isRunning = true
 
            func(...)          
 
            isRunning = false
        end
    end
end

local Activater = script.Parent.Parent
local damagePack = script.Parent
local damageAmount = 0 
local function OnActivated() --sets damage later so you wont get hurt
      damageAmount = -25 -- change value if you would like
end


Activater.Activated:Connect(OnActivated) 


local function OnUnEquipped() --If it isUnequipable but if not get rid of this part
      damageAmount = 0
end


UnEquipper.Unequipped:Connect(OnUnEquipped)


  local function Ouch(otherPart) --Once you are holding sword touched event wont play for you
	local character = otherPart.Parent --defines character
	local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")  --defines humanoid
	if humanoid then 
		local currentHealth = humanoid.Health
		local newHealth = currentHealth + damageAmount --add or subtract health.
		humanoid.Health = newHealth
	end
end
	
	
	damagePack.Touched:Connect(debounce(Ouch))
