Why isn't my touched table working properly?
I'm trying to make a part that'll damage humanoids that touch it but only if they are not in the table. Once they've been touched, they'll be put inside the table and won't be able to take any more damage for one second.
local checkList = {}
local debounce2 = false
hitBox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') and not debounce2 then
debounce2 = true
for i,v in pairs(checkList) do
if v == hit.Parent then
-- do nothing
elseif v ~= hit.Parent then
table.insert(checkList,hit.Parent)
v.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
wait(1)
debounce2 = false
end
end
end
end)

for do nothing just have it say return and for tables i would recommend using strings and the name of the object like hit.Parent.Name TiredMelon 405 — 6y

Table keys are very useful for this. Instead of looping through the table, you could change the way you store information such that accessing it is easier for your purposes:
local checkList = {}
hitBox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
if not checkList[hit.Parent] then -- If the player is not in the table:
v.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10) -- Take damage
checkList[hit.Parent] = true -- Store true with the key hit.Parent
wait(1)
checkList[hit.Parent] = nil -- And then remove it so that they can once again take damage
end
end
end)
