Roblox kill brick script

A part that hurts or kills any character that touches it.

Script type: Script
Where it goes: Inside the Part
Category: Hazards and pads

For your own game in Roblox Studio. Not for use in other people's games.

The code

-- Kill brick: put this Script inside the part that should hurt players.

local DAMAGE = 100        -- 100 kills a normal player (max health is 100)
local COOLDOWN = 1        -- seconds before the same character can be hurt again

local part = script.Parent
local recentlyHit = {}    -- humanoids that were just hurt

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local humanoid = hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	if not humanoid or humanoid.Health <= 0 then
		return
	end
	if recentlyHit[humanoid] then
		return
	end

	recentlyHit[humanoid] = true
	humanoid:TakeDamage(DAMAGE)
	task.wait(COOLDOWN)
	recentlyHit[humanoid] = nil
end)

How to set it up

In Studio, insert a Part (Model tab, Part). Make it red if you like.
In the Explorer window, hover over the Part, click the plus button, and add a Script.
Delete the default print line and paste the code.
Press Play and walk onto the part.

Change it

Change DAMAGE to a smaller number, like 20, for a part that hurts but does not kill.
TakeDamage does nothing if the player has a ForceField. That is normal. Spawn protection uses one.
If nothing happens, check the Script is a child of the part and not of the Workspace.
It also hurts NPCs with a Humanoid. That is usually what you want.
