projectile help!

[dreamy pine]

hello was wondering how to make projectile only damage once even if it hits two body part at the same time

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RNS = game:GetService("RunService")

local shootRE = RS:WaitForChild("ShootRE")
local projectileTemplate = RS:WaitForChild("Projectile")

local distance = 45
local speed = 1
local velocity = speed * 60
local lifetime = distance/velocity

local function hit(projectile, otherPart, playerCharacter)
if otherPart.Parent == playerCharacter then return end
projectile:Destroy()
print(otherPart)
local humanoid = otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
end
end

local function shoot(player)
local projectile = projectileTemplate:Clone()

local character = player.Character
local rootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart

projectile.Parent = workspace.ProjectileHandlerFolder
projectile.Position = rootPart.CFrame.Position + rootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 1
projectile.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, rootPart.Orientation.Y, 0)

RNS.Heartbeat:Connect(function(deltaTime)
    --print(deltaTime)
    projectile.Position = projectile.Position + projectile.CFrame.LookVector * speed
end)

game.Debris:AddItem(projectile, lifetime)

projectile.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
    hit(projectile, otherPart, character)
    
end)

end

shootRE.OnServerEvent:Connect(shoot)

Are you looking to only make it deal damage once and then be destroyed?

[dreamy pine]

yes, exactly that!

[clever basin]

Just

Destroy the projectile in your hit function?

[dreamy pine]

like thisss no?

orwoul i put it somewhere else

[clever basin]

Oh u already have it

Idk why it's still firing then

Just connect to touch using :Once instead of :Connect @dreamy pine

[dreamy pine]

Peak

tysm!

[clever basin]

Wait there's an edge case tho

If the hit part is the player character then you return cuz u don't wanna have the bullet affect it

But this way if it is the player character it'll still stop calling your function even if it hits smth

[dreamy pine]

Like you mean if it hits thee useers char instead of an eenemy char?

[clever basin]

What you could do is pass the connection as an argument to your hit function

[clever basin]

Ye

@dreamy pine make the connection a variable and change :Once to :Connect again

Then in your hit function just game the connection as a parameter and disconnect it there

[dreamy pine]

Okay
