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!
function touch(hit)
while true do
hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health -5
wait (1)
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(touch)
You have had some really strange answers. This is probably the simplest solution:
--Using a debounce so happens once a second:
debounce = false
--Touched Function:
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
--Checks if it is a human:
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
--Checks if the debounce is true (returns if it is)
if debounce == true then
return
end
--Sets the debounce to true (as now touching):
debounce = true
--Changes health to current health - 5
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 5
--Waiting Time:
wait(1)
--Waits a second and runs again.
debounce = false
end
end)
Added comments within the script but if you have any questions let me know.
Works!
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)
`
Nope didnt work, it wouldnt even lower the players hp
