I have a basic damage script that does damage to any humanoid. I want to make it deal damage only to the player, meaning any other humanoids such as npcs would not be affected.
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
pcall(function()
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
end)
end)
I haven't been able to find anything like this, I don't know if it's actually possible. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
What voidofdeathfire said was right and works, but there is a better way than using a generic for loop.
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local humanoid = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid", 3)
local Damg = 20
local debounce = true
if humanoid and debounce then
local Player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if Player.Name == hit.Parent.Name then
humanoid:TakeDamage(Damg)
debounce = false
end
end
wait(1)
debounce = true
end)
Look if the players name matches with the Humanoid's name
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren())do
local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid ~= nil then
if humanoid.Parent.Name == v.name then
humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
end
end
end
end)
if you have any problems please comment

Idk this seems less simple in 3 ways.... But okay
Well yeah, my point was instead of making a for loop for utterly no reason, use a built in function. Thats all. I'll edit it to say that.
