Why my damage script only damages a single person when several players touch it?
I am using a debounce for this, I don't want the part spam :TakeDamage(10) making it unfair, it is also unfair because a single unlucky person will get hit. I want to make the part damage several players without making the part spam alots of :TakeDamage() making the part overpowered. Here's an example:
local debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local human = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if hit.Parent.Name ~= "cherrythetree" then
if human and debounce == false then
debounce = true
human:TakeDamage(10)
wait(2)
debounce = false
end
end
end)
Anyone help???

ur debounce is wrong TheluaBanana 946 — 5y

ur script is basically saying once one player touches it, it will wait 2 seconds before accepting the input of another player touching it TheluaBanana 946 — 5y

So what will I use? else or wait(2) or disable debounce? cherrythetree 130 — 5y

ur method works fine when there is only one guy touching the thing TheluaBanana 946 — 5y

however when a lot of people touch it at once the logic will tell u it cant simultaneously damage them all TheluaBanana 946 — 5y

You could make the debounce per-player instead of just having one variable.
local debounce_container = {}
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local human = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local name = hit.Parent.Name
if name ~= "cherrythetree" then
if human and debounce_container[name] ~= true then
debounce_container[name] = true
human:TakeDamage(10)
wait(2)
debounce_container[name] = false
end
end
end)

Thanks! I forgot to rename the two villagers with the same name so the script won't be confused. So I accidently unaccepted for thinking it did not work. cherrythetree 130 — 5y
