Boolean value is not working for simple sword script?

I already have the local script with the animations and all and it's working perfectly fine. But for the damaging part (when the sword touches an player) it's supposed to damage them but it's not working. Here is the script:

candamage = true
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(toucH)
	local f = toucH.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if f and candamage == true and script.Parent.Parent.swingdmg.Value == true then
	candamage = false
	f:TakeDamage(20)
	wait(1.2)
	candamage = true
	end
end)

What's supposed to happen is I only want the other player to be damaged ONLY when I swing the sword. So I put a bool value, and the swinging animation works but the other player does not take DAMAGE at all.

Any help?

First, try the basics: remove everything from the if statement aside from 'if (f)' and then do 'f:TakeDamage()' If that works, try it with your candamage debounce variable. If that works, it might be your swing damage value.

If you get stuck at any of those steps, tell me in the comments of this answer.
