I have a tool, that removes 18 hp from the player that gets clicked on. If the thing that gets clicked on doesn't have a humanoid, it will print("No humanoid found")

But now, it prints "No humanoid found" although I click on a player.

Tool script: (Client side, local script)

tool = script.Parent
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer


tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
    mouse.Icon = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=2312592107"
    mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    game.Workspace.KillExplosion.KillExplosionCreate:FireServer(mouse.Target, tool.Handle)


    end)
end)

Server script: (Server side, normal script)

debounce = false

    script.KillExplosionCreate.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, target, tool) 
        if debounce == false and target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") == true then
            print("found humanoid")
            debounce = true
            wait(1)
            debounce = false
        else
            print("no humanoid found")

    end
end)

Thank you for help!

remove the == true at findfirstchild, a humanoid isnt a true or a false value

debounce = false

    script.KillExplosionCreate.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, target, tool) 
        if debounce == false and target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")  then
            print("found humanoid")
            debounce = true
            wait(1)
            debounce = false
        else
            print("no humanoid found")

    end
end)

I still get the same error. Oficcer_F 207 — 5y

Make sure the model you are clicking on has a humanoid in it as the descendant of target.Parent aazkao 787 — 5y

Let me check again. Oficcer_F 207 — 5y

and also, make sure it is named exactly Humanoid, the model i used to test this one was the drooling zombie,its a free model you can take aazkao 787 — 5y

Actually, when I test on a server, I did not print ANYTHING. Oficcer_F 207 — 5y

Ok I will test. Oficcer_F 207 — 5y

I will come back to you tomorrow ok? Oficcer_F 207 — 5y

all the printed outputs are on the server, not the individual players screens as you put the print in a server side script aazkao 787 — 5y

Oh! True, I will check. Oficcer_F 207 — 5y
