why do my hitboxes hurt me?

[ashen talon]

hitboxes are not going to work properly in localscripts

[mental thunder]

its in a normal script

but its inside a model inside a tool

[ashen talon]

then character (script.Parent) is not going to be the character you expected

also if this is a regular (server) script then player is nil

[mental thunder]

here ill send the explorer

heres the othere script to

its a normal one too

[ashen talon]

thats good practice for getting help but i already told you whats wrong with it ;o

[ashen talon]

your checks for filtering out the parent character are incorrect, both of them. character is the tool, and player is nil. LocalPlayer doesn't exist on the server.

how you fix it is up to you

[mental thunder]

what should i do instead im new?

[ashen talon]

well, figure out what values character and player should be, then write the code to make that happen 👍

yeah this is just logic

basically you need to check if the model in question isn't the user of the tool

theoretically it should work
