#

so i made this damage brick for a troll tower game but now i dont know how to make the damage so i tried my best and put a script in the damage brick part and here is the screenshot

#

it didnt work if you could guess

#

Your parameter name is PartB

#

But on line 4 you say:

local humanoid = ***hit***.Parent: FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

#

Change hit to your parameter name

#

Or change the parameter name to "hit"

#

ah thanks

#

is there also a way i can make the forcefield time a bit shorter?

tranquil vine Dec 11, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

Forcefield??

wintry prawn Dec 11, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

like when you spawn

#

it has like a forcefield bubble

tranquil vine Dec 11, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

Nope I don't know

#

Never dealt with forcefields before

wintry prawn Dec 11, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

ah ok but the script still doesnt work is there a better script?

#

must i do local script in starter player or smth?

tranquil vine Dec 11, 2025, 2:03 PM

#

Huh

#

Odd

#

Try humanoid:TakeDamage(10) instead

rose sleet Dec 11, 2025, 2:06 PM

#

try replacing findfirstchild with waitforchild

wintry prawn Dec 11, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

both dont work

wintry prawn Dec 11, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

#

rose sleet Dec 11, 2025, 2:08 PM

#

send it then

wintry prawn Dec 11, 2025, 2:09 PM

#

local damageBrick = script.Parent

damageBrick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local humanoid = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
part.CanTouch = false
task.wait(.5)
humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
task.wait(1)
part.CanTouch = true
end
end)

here is the full code

tranquil vine Dec 11, 2025, 2:10 PM

#

On line 1 try local damageBrick = script.Parent:Wait()

rose sleet Dec 11, 2025, 2:11 PM

#

try checking if the hit is a accessory then get the player with findfirstancestor then do .humanoid

#

if hit:IsA("Accessory") then
   humanoid = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Player").Humanoid
end

wintry prawn Dec 11, 2025, 2:12 PM

#

rose sleet Dec 11, 2025, 2:12 PM

#

wintry prawn Dec 11, 2025, 2:13 PM

short quarry Dec 11, 2025, 2:15 PM

#

wintry prawn the damage brick wont take damage at all

damageBrick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local humanoid = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    if humanoid then
        damageBrick.CanTouch = false
        task.wait(.5)
        humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
        task.wait(1)
        damageBrick.CanTouch = true
    end
end)

wintry prawn Dec 11, 2025, 2:16 PM

#

#

must i switch it to humanoid.health -= 10?

short quarry Dec 11, 2025, 2:17 PM

#

wintry prawn must i switch it to humanoid.health -= 10?

u stand on it for too long

rose sleet Dec 11, 2025, 2:17 PM

#

Whichever works

short quarry Dec 11, 2025, 2:17 PM

#

it doesnt matter which if takedamage or humanoid.health

wintry prawn Dec 11, 2025, 2:18 PM

#

short quarry Dec 11, 2025, 2:19 PM

#

wintry prawn so where do i add a debounce?

local damageBrick = script.Parent
local debounce = true

damageBrick.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local humanoid = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    if humanoid and debounce then
        debounce = false
        humanoid:TakeDamage(10)
        task.wait(1)
        debounce = true

short quarry Dec 11, 2025, 2:26 PM
