BreakJoints() or Humanoid.Health = 0?

[dekay1278 (dekay)]

Hello. I am currently scripting some death traps for my game. I know there are two ways of doing this. Take a look at this code

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") if hum then hit.Parent:BreakJoints() end end)

and this

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") if hum then hum.Health = 0 end end)

I understand that the first one breaks the joints in the player’s character, thus killing it and that the second one goes to the humanoid and sets the health to zero.

However, I want to understand which one is more efficient. Can any of you guys help me?

Hey there!

Setting the Health to 0 would work better!

Thanks for the advice. I wonder if anyone could tell why though?

I believe it responds faster and Breaks the Joints anyway!

I mean, there really isn’t any way of making a “Kill Script” more better which is the thing, you just need to know how you’d wanna kill the player depending on the way you wanna do it

How to make a efficient kill script?

Well that depends on your use case and the way you craft your game. There can’t be an “efficient way” to make a kill script without a use case being provided. You also need to think about how you’re integrating that code with other game systems as well. There’s already enough ways to kill humanoids. Off the top of my head, Setting Humanoid health to 0 (doesn’t work if Health is clamped) Setting the Humanoid’s state to Died Destroying the Torso or Head of a character, or displacing it Removing …

Ohh I think I get it now
