Damage dealt 8 times instead of 1

[timber crown]

I want to do something simple, make an explosion that deals 40 damage. But my function is repeating 8 times(Dealing 8*40 dmg), even when I tried to do system to make it hit only once with if alreadyHit then return end

it prints out

no ai could help me, all tried with some debouncing, which didnt worked

[wild lion]

think out of the box, print(alreadyHit) on top of this and print(dmg) below this

or instead you can use explosion.Hit:Once() instead of explosion.Hit:Connect()

theres already a post similar to this thats solved

[timber crown]

I might have done something wrong, but its not working after I think I did what you told me

now it prints out 4 times

which means player is taking 160 dmg instead of 40

[grave wedge]

if this hasnt already been resolved, could it be that the thing that makes the explosion is running multiple times? try adding a print before explosion is created

[timber crown]

oh, youre right

[grave wedge]

also please do NOT use once for this

if it hits something that isn't player it will not work

just use connect and optionally disconnect it once it hits something

[timber crown]

noted, my third day of studio, so I dont know much

[grave wedge]

okay

this is good for third day of studio

Once only runs once so if 1 plr gets hit no other ones will get

[timber crown]

thanks. one more question is it okay, that I am using
create:FireAllClients(plr, mousepos)
which creates projectile for every client
and then on the server side it creates an explosion(because when explosion was for every client players were turning invisible and their bodies were levitating in the air)?

I hope yall understand what I mean

[tranquil parcel]

I think that's fine

But make sure u don't fire it every frame or smth

[timber crown]

now I am trying to figure out, why this
projectile.Touched:Connect(function(part)
if part.Parent ~= char and part.CanCollide == true then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remote.Wybuch:FireServer(projectile.Position)
projectile:Destroy()
connection:Disconnect()
end
end)
is happening 4 or 8 times

because this function is telling server to create an explosion

[timber crown]

nahh, I cant with this

why "Z" is being printed two times when I press Z, X, C or F(instead of one time)

and also this

[timber crown]

bro

why 1 click = 2 prints

[grave zephyr]

@timber crown what im guessing is you’re cloning the explosion script multiple times

[timber crown]

yeah, I know

[grave zephyr]

Ur code is valid, there’s nothing wrong here

[timber crown]

because of this

[grave zephyr]

So the only possible problem is cloning

[grave zephyr]

Hmm

[grave zephyr]

This happens twice?

Let me try something

[timber crown]

I clicked D => A => Z => Z

everything is doubled

[grave zephyr]

so when you click a key, it prints twice

[timber crown]

yeah

[full inlet]

** You are now Level 2! **

[grave zephyr]

for me it only prints once. i only have 1 input began connection setup

if i add two of them though, it prints twice

so see if you're creating any extra input began connections anywhere

[timber crown]

thats why im so frustrated

I dont have anywhere else UIS

and also

we can see where on what line is prints or smth

[grave zephyr]

mhm yup

[grave zephyr]

go to line 73

hmmm

[timber crown]

yeah...

[grave zephyr]

LocalBomb

[grave zephyr]

check to see if maybe there's an extra bomb somewhere that's being created that you don't know about

an extra tool that's being ran

[timber crown]

I tripled check everything

I have like 8 scripts max

and remembered

that I was using script to constantly spawn a new bomb

[timber crown]

now I only left this

uncommented

[grave zephyr]

haha

well there's ur problem

the body of spawnNewBomb was being called, causing an extra bomb to be spawned

[timber crown]

but like

I only spawn one bomb

[rough ridge]

Make damage = 10

And don’t need to fix problem

[timber crown]

I mean true

but yk

I want to understand why is it happening

and learn smth

[rough ridge]

Did u try it with once

But that wouldn’t work cause it will never happen again

[timber crown]

it still was dealing dmg 4 times

or sometimes after some changes or before some changes it was 8

[rough ridge]

Shi just make your life easy

[timber crown]

but the "first" bomb is just like a template in replicated storage

[grave zephyr]

yeah, except you are inintentionally cloning the template and using it, as you said

[timber crown]

and I just clone it and put in workspace

yeah

and thats the only bomb

[grave zephyr]

oh

ohhhh

hm

[timber crown]

but still Ill just move from replicated storage to workspace that template and comment this whole script

yeah, Idk, for now Ill just make dmg/4

if anyone knows what the cause might be, please say here and ping me
