hitbox getPartsinPart instantly kils people:

[lavish cedar]

    run.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
        local parts = workspace:GetPartsInPart(hitbox)
        for _, part in pairs(parts) do
            local parent = part.Parent
            if parent and parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
                if parent ~= parentModel then
                    parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
                end
            end
        end
    end)
end

[raw hinge]

its hitting multiple times

coz character made up of more than one part sometimes those many parts will touch the hitbox at the same time so damage will happen more than once

[lavish cedar]

ye

i found out that problem too

but idk how to fix it

@raw hinge

Can i instead use a Touched

but use heartbeat

[raw hinge]

sure but you'll get the same problem

[lavish cedar]

wait

how do i fix it

axeEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
    local char = player.Character
    if not char then return end
    local parentModel = char
    local hitbox = axeHitbox:Clone()
    hitbox.Parent = workspace
    local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
    weld.Parent = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool"):WaitForChild("Blade")
    weld.Part0 = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool"):WaitForChild("Blade")
    weld.Part1 = hitbox
    weld.C0 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)
    weld.C1 = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)
    setupHitboxDamage(hitbox, char, 1)
    game.Debris:AddItem(hitbox, 0.7)
end)

--Function for hitboxes


function setupHitboxDamage(hitbox, parentModel, damage)
    local connection
    connection = run.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
        hitbox.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
            if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
                hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
            end
            connection:Disconnect()
        end)
    end)
end

This is my new code

I just want 1 hit

but it stacks dmg

@raw hinge

Do you know the solution?

[raw hinge]

you are creating a new connection to .touched every heartbeat cmon bruh

[lavish cedar]

i deleted that

bro pls help

this is my script now

@raw hinge what do you suggest

[raw hinge]

i suggest you learn the fundamentals https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/coding-fundamentals

[lavish cedar]

..

i learned some fundamentals please don't brush me off

[raw hinge]

and then maybe look up some tutorials

[lavish cedar]

i just need the code then i learn it

[raw hinge]

lol

[lavish cedar]

ok

ima go tuorials

[raw hinge]

so if i just give you a fish will that teach you how to fish?

[lavish cedar]

what? this is different

i learn by examples bro

[raw hinge]

the docs tutorials have lots of examples bro

https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/curriculums/core

[lavish cedar]

bro

whatever ur thinking

I just can't think about the logic rn bro

this is what scripting help is for

i know the basics

[raw hinge]

then you're going to have a hard time learning from the example's logic

[lavish cedar]

i can't explain what im trying to do rn

ok

give me the example

ill explain that to you

[raw hinge]

then you don't know what you're doing

[lavish cedar]

and how the logic works in it

example?

Why are you in scripting help bro

they could have just told everyone to go in documentation

I have a script, and a purpose

[raw hinge]

to help people

[lavish cedar]

and i want help to find out whats wrong

[raw hinge]

and to help myself along the way by learning new stuff

[lavish cedar]

..

how are you going to help urself?

[raw hinge]

sometimes people ask about things im not sure about so helping them with it means i learn it too

[lavish cedar]

you can fix people's code and thats better

to learn

but you tell me to go to docs

and read things i know

I just need help on what im doing rn

If we learn all the logic

[raw hinge]

anyway i told you exactly, precisely what was going wrong with your code here in my first response

[lavish cedar]

Ok?
I understood that

and the logic

but I can't find how to implement it

[raw hinge]

you also asked about this and i told you exactly why that was happening

that is help

for any competent coder simply knowing what and why something isn't working is enough for them to fix it

[lavish cedar]

i guess im not competent

bro

this is not like cheating on a test

you can give me the code

[raw hinge]

if you were wondering a pattern to solve this just put all the humanoids that have already been hit in a table so they don't get hit again kind-of like a debounce for anything that takes damage from it

[lavish cedar]

alr

lemme try that

[raw hinge]

i would expect even a beginner roblox scripter to know what a debounce is and how to use them https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting/debounce

and putting them into a table shouldn't be hard

[lavish cedar]

alr understood the logic now

[raw hinge]

yet what you don't understand, and arguably the most important part of scripting, is how to come up with new logic

[lavish cedar]

these are basics tho

ty

it workewd

so

[tawdry delta]

Exactly why he’s telling you to learn the basics
