but how do i make it play a random animation? here is what i came up with… (which wont work)

script.Parent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	local hum = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	
	local hit1 = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.hit1)
	local hit2 = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.hit2)
	local hit3 = hum:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.hit3)
	
	local r = math.random(1,3)
	
	if r == 1 then
		hit1:Play()
	end	
	if r == 2 then
		hit2:Play()
	end	
	if r == 3 then
		hit3:Play()
	end
end)

There are many ways of doing this!

The First is referenced from czo which works really well!

hum = script.Parent.Humanoid

hum.HealthChanged:Connect(function()
	print("Owie")
end)

This is healthChanged And You need the humanoid refrenced this is a script not a local script and it is located in StarterCharacterScripts.

=====METHOD2 CZO’s METHOD

This is a cleaned up version of czo’s method and it also runs from a normal script not a local please Remember all can be easily transitioned to local scripts!

hum = script.Parent.Humanoid

hum:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
	print("Owie")
end)

Both work

This is to clear off the confusion

Confusion regarding :Changed and :GetPropertyChangedSignal

The difference in these two handles is the specificity. Instance.Changed is an event you can connect to like any other event using :Connect. If you’re unfamiliar with this use, you’re basically telling the computer to do something (the applied function) when something else (the event) happens. A good example is the following: game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p) print(p.Name) end) Every time a player joins the game, their name is printed to the console. (PlayerAdded is the event, th…

There is a better way lemme get the example

[isaagomendabuilder (frighteningSwag)]

@amroni2

function CHOOSERANDOMANIMATION(AnimationFolder,Animpreset)
	
	local FolderGetall = AnimationFolder:GetChildren()
	local FolderRandom = math.random(1,#FolderGetall)
	local Anim = AnimationFolder:FindFirstChild(tostring(Animpreset)..FolderRandom)
	return Anim
	
end

function OnTakeDamage(Humanoid,AnimationFolder)
	
	local AnimationToPlay = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(CHOOSERANDOMANIMATION(AnimationFolder,"Hurt"))
	AnimationToPlay:Play()
end

where should i put the animation folder?
