why does my game keep crashing when i play this script?
so ive been working on this script that when a key is pressed it fires some functions to open a aura type thing around the player and it checks the magnitude around the player for other players. if a player is in certain distance from the local player it fires a function to damage them. but when i test or play the game and test it with a alt account eh game crashes. heres the script:
01 | local Players = game:GetService("Players") |
02 | local Player = Players.LocalPlayer |
03 | local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:wait() |
04 | local db = true |
05 | local onn = false |
06 |
07 | local Distance = 15 |
08 |
09 |
10 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input, event) |
11 | if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z and db then |
12 | db = false |
13 | if onn == false then |
14 | onn = true |
15 | elseif onn == true then |
the first UserInputService function is for players and the second is for a npc in workspace i used for testing. i cant even get which line im crashing on because when the game crashes i have no choice but to leave. anyway i hope somone can help me, and thank you!

it's likely the repeat, as it only waits under certain conditions, and not always. for example,
01 | repeat |
02 | if HRP and Player:DistanceFromCharacter(HRP.CFrame.Position) < Distance then |
03 | local MYHRP = script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position |
04 | local mag = (HRP - MYHRP).Magnitude |
05 | if mag < Distance then |
06 | script.Parent.FireKillingIntent:FireServer(HRP) |
07 | wait(0.5) |
08 | end |
09 | print("In Range") |
10 | end |
11 | until onn == false |
only waits under multiple if statements, meaning if mag was greater than distance, it would run without waiting, causing the script to crash.This happens on the other repeat as well.
