In the localscript where the damage is dealt with, then in that function, check if the character being hurt is LocalPlayers character.

The main script is a localscript but the damage moves a script inside the localscript into the brick when its placed heres the script inside of it function onDamage(Part) if Part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil then script.Disabled = true for i = 1, 3 do Part.Parent.Humanoid.Health = Part.Parent.Humanoid.Health -5 Part.Parent.Humanoid.Sit = true wait(0.05) end Part.Parent.Humanoid.Sit = false script.Parent:remove() end wait(0.025) end script.Parent.Touched:connect(onDamage)

Put a StringValue called 'TAG' and have the value be the player's name, put it in the part. function onDamage(Part) if Part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Part.Parent).Name~=script.Parent.TAG.Value then script.Disabled = true for i = 1, 3 do Part.Parent.Humanoid.Health = Part.Parent.Humanoid.Health -5 Part.Parent.Humanoid.Sit = true wait(0.05) end Part.Parent.Humanoid.Sit = false script.Parent:remove() end wait(0.025) end

function onDamage(Part) if Part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and not game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Part.Parent) ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer then script.Disabled = true for i = 1, 3 do Part.Parent.Humanoid.Health = Part.Parent.Humanoid.Health -5 Part.Parent.Humanoid.Sit = true wait(0.05) end Part.Parent.Humanoid.Sit = false script.Parent:remove() end wait(0.025) end script.Parent.Touched:connect(onDamage) There, fixed It checks if the player that the character which is getting hurt is not the LocalPlayer. If it isn't, it hurts the character.
