i just need a script for a brick that slowly damages the player when touching it

Alright, let's make do this thing!
First, we need to register when the player either steps on or off the brick. We use the Brick.touching and Brick.touchingEnded listeners to do this. These listeners are pretty self-explanatory by their names but you can check the documentation to see what they do.
Next, we find the "slowBrick" in the map. We search through the World.bricks array to find the specific brick with that name and set it as a variable to use.
When the player touches the brick, we need to set a p.setInterval. Why a specific "p.setInterval"? We use this in scripting to ensure if the player leaves the server or is disconnected, node-hill will automatically cancel this interval instead of a normal setInterval still repeating and throwing errors that the player doesn't exist. We will put this in a player variable to use later on globally.

Quote from dargy , 05:20 AM 05/02/2023^ In this p.setInterval, we need to make the player do damage. For this example, I've set the interval to be executed every 2000 milliseconds or 2 seconds. In this interval, we set the player's health using p.setHealth and subtract the player's health (p.health) by damageHealth, or in this example, 5.

Next, we need to use the Brick.touchingEnded to stop the interval. This is as simple as using the global JavaScript function "clearInterval". We clear the player's interval by inputting that variable we made before and that's it! We're done. 🎉
