Help me make hitboxes

[velvet girder]

I used a old script from a tutorial but it was old so it didn’t work. hitbox.Parent = workspace
hitbox.CanCollide = false
hitbox.Anchored = true
hitbox.Size = Vector3.new(7,7,7)
hitbox.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
hitbox.Transparency = .5
hitbox.CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,0, -5)
game.Debris:AddItem(hitbox,1)
local hitboxcooldown = false
hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent.Name ~=plr.Name and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
if hitboxcooldown == true then return end
hitboxcooldown = true

    hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):TakeDamage(5)
    task.wait(1)
    hitboxcooldown = false
    
end
end)

end)

dude

did you make a variable for hitbox?

also are you even sure if its written properly

[velvet girder]

Nope I used one from YouTube cuz I can’t script 😭

[real sandal]

If we did help you, would you understand the fixes we'd suggest?

[velvet girder]

Maybe

Yes

Yes I would

[real sandal]

When you ran it, what happened? What actually is the issue? Errors? Warnings?

[velvet girder]

It just didn’t spawn in or like appear in front of me like it is suppose to

[real sandal]

This line
hitbox.CFrame = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(0,0, -5)
You absolutely must have an error. Check the output.

[velvet girder]

Alr thank you if there is any errors what do I do?

** You are now Level 1! **

[real sandal]

Read them and fix them?

[velvet girder]

Alright

[velvet girder]

I did it and nothing happened

[real sandal]

Did you get more errors? Did you fix every error?

[velvet girder]

No like nothing happened when I used the line

[real sandal]

What do you mean

[velvet girder]

No errors no nothing

[real sandal]

What do you mean "when I used the line"?

[velvet girder]

This

[real sandal]

But what do you mean used the line though?

[velvet girder]

I put it in serverscript

[real sandal]

I was mentioning that line because it's incorrectly typed. There should have been an error relating to that, so you did not fix that error.

It's just plain wrong. Maybe instead of the second = you meant to use *

[velvet girder]

Ohhhhh

My dumbass😭
