FireBall script trying to make it so that it does damage when it touches but it doesnt?

Asked 271 views1 answers
local UserInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local offset = Vector3.new(0,0,-3)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local rootpart = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart",3)
local FireBallEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.FireBallEvent

UserInput.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
		print("You pressed R")
		local CreateFireBall = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
		CreateFireBall.Shape = "Ball"
		CreateFireBall.Size = Vector3.new(5,5,5)
		CreateFireBall.Anchored = true
		CreateFireBall.CanCollide = true
		CreateFireBall.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
		CreateFireBall.CFrame = rootpart.CFrame * CFrame.new(offset)
		while true do
			wait(.001)
			CreateFireBall.CFrame = CreateFireBall.CFrame * CFrame.new(offset)			
		end
		CreateFireBall.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then 
			local character = hit.Parent
			FireBallEvent:FireServer(character)
			end
		end)
	end
end)

that is the server script, the event is call FireBallEvent

local FireBallEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.FireBallEvent

FireBallEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, character)
	character.Humanoid.Health = character.Humanoid.Health -5
end)

and that is the local script, for some reason this wont work help! The fireball comes out and moves but it doesnt do damage upon hitting a dummy. No errors come up either

You can't have a LocalScript change something that should show in the server

bruh i see the problem in ur server script the server thinks character is the player u should write Player.Character instead and u dont need to apply any name to the FireServer() as the player who fires the server is already outputted like example script in last part of local script (Also u need to put touch in server or wont work

UserInput.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
	        print("You pressed R")
	        local CreateFireBall = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
	        CreateFireBall.Shape = "Ball"
	        CreateFireBall.Size = Vector3.new(5,5,5)
	        CreateFireBall.Anchored = true
	        CreateFireBall.CanCollide = true
	        CreateFireBall.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
	        CreateFireBall.CFrame = rootpart.CFrame * CFrame.new(offset)
FireBallEvent:FireServer(CreateFireBall)
	        
	            local Veloc = instance.New("Body Velocity",CreateFireBall)
Veloc.Velocity = game.Player.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso.CFrame.LookVector * 60      
	        -- You can use a body velocity here instead of the offset like
	        
	            
	            end
	        end
	    
	end)

and for ur server script

local FireBallEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.FireBallEvent

FireBallEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,part)
    local tr = true
local E = true
wait (0.2) -- incase it touches twice and deals double dmg
local tr = true
part.Touched:connect(function(OtehPart)
if OtehPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and E and tr then
OtehPart.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(5)


end)

i hoped this helped
