How should I damage players with my fireball?
Basically I've created a script that launches a fireball in-front of the player but I'm not entirely sure what would be the most effective way to damage other players with it.
Should I create a script and put it inside the fireball when it launches.. that would damage the player using .Touched.
Or should I use a .Touched function in my server script that create the fireball itself?

I'd recommend using the .Touched event for the fireball like this.
1 | script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(touch) |
2 | touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") |
3 | if touch ~= nil then |
4 | touch:TakeDamage(30) |
5 | (or Something like that) |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
Im not too sure this would work but Ye, I hope this works for you!

Awesome! So it's better to have it in a second script inside the fireball instead of just using .Touched in the same script you create the part in? Ruves 21 — 5y

Are you talking about an Instance.new script and then putting the code inside of the same script? roblox136393 32 — 5y

If you are then nah, In my opinion Create a second script as the child of the Instance script then in the instance script type in a code like "script.Parent."Damage Script".Parent = game.Workspace.Fireball roblox136393 32 — 5y

Basically,
Which one of these is better to use.
Script inside ServerScript that creates Fireball
01 | p = Instance.new("Part") |
02 | p.Size = Vector3.new(2,2,2) |
03 |
04 | p.Parent = game.Workspace |
05 |
06 | p:Touched:Connect(function(touch) |
07 | if touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then |
08 | touch:TakeDamage(30) |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
OR
Script which has been copied into the Fireball itself.
1 | p = script.Parent |
2 | p:Touched:Connect(function(touch) |
3 | if touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then |
4 | touch:TakeDamage(30) |
5 | end |
6 | end) |
