Players are not being damaged while they are standing still, ways to fix this?

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Toucher)

local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Toucher.Parent)

if Player then

local Character = Player.Character

if Character then

Character.Humanoid.Health = Character.Humanoid.Health - 5

end

end

end)

I have this code to detect if a player touches it, it's gonna hurt em for 5 damage. However, it doesn't work while they are standing still, what can i do to make it so it hurts them whenever?

Well, "Toucher" can be used to get the character. You don't need to get the character from game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character. Just use Toucher, you're using unnecessary code to get something that can be easily received with less code being used.

 local Part = script.Parent --This is the part we'll be using to damage the player.
Part.Touched:Connect(function(touchedPart) --Everytime our 		part is touched, we'll use touchedPart as said part that touched the parent of this script.
	local Humanoid = touchedPart.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") --We'll find the humanoid.
	if Humanoid then --If the humanoid exists we continue the code
		Humanoid:TakeDamage(5) --We damage the humanoid.
	end
end)

ur code is so unnecessary its way easier to do this make another script in the same part and name it GiveDamage in the original script u do

debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then--if it find the humanoid then

if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("GiveDamage") then--if there already is a script called givedamage then

script.Parent.GiveDamage.Parent = script.Parent--give damage.Parent = the scripts parent

elseif not hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("GiveDamage") then--if it cant find the script givedamage then

if not debounce then

debounce = true

script.Parent.GiveDamage:Clone().Parent = hit.Parent--it gives u a clone of the script

print("script given")

wait(2)

debounce = false

end

end

end

end)

  

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)

if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then--if it find the humanoid then

hit.Parent.Health.Disabled = true--ur health script gets disabled

end

end)

in the give damage script u do

while true do--this will be in a loop

wait(1)--this is the timer between every script action

if script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then--if it find the humanoid then

script.Parent.Humanoid.Health = script.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 2--the humanoids health goes down with 2

print("lost health")

end

end

i pulled this from my own game where i have pretty much the same thing
