1--Line 25
2bullet.Hit:connect(function(hit) end) --(No.)
3bullet.Touched:connect(function(hit) end) --(Yes.)
4-- BUT. You have a problem here, you're using a local variable that is INSIDE a function called shots()
5--If you make a local variable and try to call it outside of the area you just created it, it won't do the job. just move the .Touched event function inside shots()
6--And, Line 26
7Brick.FindFirstChild --(No.)
8Brick:FindFirstChild --(Yes.)

You can just use "Workspace" now, instead of game.Workspace. I suggest you to learn about WaitForChild.

Thank you, i usually catch the functions, im just trying to think of to many things at once, becuase im trying to make a huge update to my game, my friends skyping me, so those to things distract me easily right now... thank you. rollercoaster57 65 — 10y

Actually, its supposed to be that only an alien humanoid in my game is affected aswell. rollercoaster57 65 — 10y
