How do I make a part damage a player for every second that the player is touching the part?
I have a radius that when it's touched by the creator its supposed to heal the player by 10 health for every second that the player is still touching the garden, and if they aren't the creator it does the same thing except it hurts the player. My script isn't working, what am I doing wrong?
GardenO.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
local Humanoid = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if Humanoid == nil then return end
if Humanoid.Parent == Character then
if deb == true then return end
deb = true
print("Local Humanoid Touched")
pcall(function()
Humanoid.Health = Humanoid.Health+10
wait(1)
end)
else
if deb2 == true then return end
deb2 = true
print("Humanoid Touched")
pcall(function()
Humanoid.Health = Humanoid.Health-10
wait(1)
end)
end
wait(5)
GardenO:Destroy()
deb = false
deb2 = false
end)

this won't work if multiple players are touching the part hellmatic 1523 — 5y

You can achieve this by using tables and loops:
local PlayersInRadius = {}
local CreatorInRadius = false
local function runDamageOnPlayer(player)
while player and PlayersInRadius[player.Name] do
wait(1)
local Character = player.Character
if Character then
local IsInRadius = false
local PartsTouching = Character.HumanoidRootPart:GetTouchingParts()
-- GetTouchParts() can be called on a BasePart. It returns a table of parts that collide or intersect with the given BasePart.
for i, part in pairs(PartsTouching) do
if part == Garden0 then -- match part with 'Garden0'
IsInRadius = true -- set bool to true
Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10) -- You can use the TakeDamage() function instead. Remember that player's with a force field won't take any damage using this method.
end
end
if not IsInRadius then
-- Cancels the loop if 'IsInRadius' bool is false
break
end
else
-- Cancels the loop if 'Character' is nil
break
end
end
-- Note that any code below a loop will not run unless the loop was canceled using 'break' or wrapped in a function (spawn, delay, etc..)
PlayersInRadius[player.Name] = nil -- Set stored value of the player to nil (similar to table.remove)
end
local function runHealingForCreator()
while CreatorCharacter and CreatorInRadius do
wait(1)
local IsInRadius = false
local PartsTouching = CreatorCharacter.HumanoidRootPart:GetTouchingParts()
for i, part in pairs(PartsTouching) do
if part == Garden0 then
IsInRadius = true
Character.Humanoid.Health = Character.Humanoid.Health + 10
end
end
if not IsInRadius then
break
end
end
CreatorInRadius = false
end
Garden0.Touched:Connect(function(part)
local Humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if Humanoid then
local PlayerTouched = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
-- GetPlayerFromCharacter() has one argument which is the player's character model and returns the player
if PlayerTouched then
if not CreatorInRadius and CreatorCharacter == part.Parent then
CreatorInRadius = true
runHealingForCreator()
return
end
if not PlayersInRadius[PlayerTouched.Name] then
PlayersInRadius[PlayerTouched.Name] = PlayerTouched -- Stores the player in table
runDamageOnPlayer(PlayerTouched)
end
end
end
end)
