How would I restrict an explosion from exploding/killing its Owner?
Im trying to find a way to restrict an explosion like from a bomb or a rocket launcher to stop being able to kill the person who launched the rocket or triggered the bomb. If anyone could please help I would greatly appreciate it, I'm guessing it would have to be something with getting the parent humanoid of the bomb and making it unaffected by it.

ill just quote this first part directly from wiki:
"If a developer doesn’t want joints between BaseParts to be broken or wants to implement their own formula for damaging Humanoids it is recommended they set Explosion.DestroyJointRadiusPercent to 0 and use the Explosion.Hit event to handle the result of the explosion."
a humanoid only dies from an explosion cus the explosion breaks the neck joint of the humanoid. If u make an explosion not destroy any joints, u can effectively prevent any humanoids from dying to ur explosion. However, same goes for the enemies. To prevent this, u have to use explosion.Hit to filter ur humanoid but damage the enemies:
-- assuming u have already defined the (Explosion) and your (own player's humanoid) --
(Explosion).DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 0
(Explosion).Hit:Connect(function(part, distance)
local hum = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum and hum ~= (own player's Humanoid) then
hum:TakeDamage(100)
end
end)
or idk maybe there is a better way like an ignoreList
