Damage 5 Every Second?
okay, so im making a game when you touch the brick, it will damage you by 5 every second. but when you stop touching it, it stops damaging you. but my script doesn't stop it from damaging the player AND it doesn't even damage it every second. i cant seem to figure out how to do this though. please help!
1 | function touch(hit) |
2 | while true do |
3 | hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health -5 |
4 | wait (1) |
5 | end |
6 | end |
7 |
8 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(touch) |

You have had some really strange answers. This is probably the simplest solution:
01 | --Using a debounce so happens once a second: |
02 | debounce = false |
03 |
04 | --Touched Function: |
05 |
06 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
07 |
08 |
09 | --Checks if it is a human: |
10 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
11 |
12 | --Checks if the debounce is true (returns if it is) |
13 | if debounce == true then |
14 | return |
15 | end |
Added comments within the script but if you have any questions let me know.

try this: ` local function getPlayerFromCharacter(character) for _, player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do if player.Character == character then return player end end end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) if hit and hit.Parent then Character = hit.Parent player = getPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) if player == nil then print("reward: player does not exist") else player.Character.Health = player.Character.Health - 5 wait(1) end end end)
