Hey, can someone help me? Theres no output. Nothing happens when something touches my right arm... Here it is.. function onTouched(hit) h = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Torso") local b = Instance.new("BodyForce") d.Parent = h d.force = Vector3.new(1000, 1000, 0) game.Workspace.chao50["Right Arm"]:Remove() wait(3) d.force = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) game.Workspace.chao50["Right Arm"].Touched:connect(onTouched) end

game.Workspace.chao50["Right Arm"].Touched:connect(onTouched) Don't you have to do the method, :findFirstChild ..?

Try switching: game.Workspace.chao50["Right Arm"].Touched:connect(onTouched) end --I've never seen an 'end' before the connection line.

function onTouched(hit) h = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Torso") local b = Instance.new("BodyForce") d.Parent = h d.force = Vector3.new(1000, 1000, 0) game.Workspace.chao50["Right Arm"]:Remove() wait(3) d.force = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) game.Workspace.chao50["Right Arm"].Touched:connect(onTouched) end What is firing the function in the first place? :) function onTouched(hit) h = hit.Parent:findFirstChild("Torso") if h==nil then return end local b = Instance.new("BodyForce") d.Parent = h d.force = Vector3.new(1000, 1000, 0) game.Workspace.chao50["Right Arm"]:Remove() wait(3) d.force = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) end game.Workspace.chao50["Right Arm"].Touched:connect(onTouched)

the connection line is within the function itself. move it outside of the last end. and no you dont need find first child, model["object name"] is how you referance an object by string, allows you to have names with spaces in them.
