Changing health of person

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am making a killbrick, and I want to know how to change the health.
I tried:
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Health = 0
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Humanoid.Health = 0
None work. Any Ideas?

#2

You should learn roblox lua first

heres some starter links:
Learn Roblox
Learn Roblox | Coding and Scripts
Player (roblox.com)
Player.Character (roblox.com)

I know how to do lua, but all I ever worked on was UI, like tweening and animations etc.

I have never coded anything with the player, so what do I use to change player health?

#4

Replication is another concept you should learn about
Workspace.FilteringEnabled (roblox.com)

anyways to change the health you need to access the humanoid inside the players character

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if Player then
		local Character = hit.Parent
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if Humanoid then
			Humanoid.Health = 0
		end
	end
end)

Ill try this now.

PS: Thanks for linking some websites ill make sure to check them out.

There are also alternative solutions to damage a player’s health, like Humanoid:TakeDamage(100), but both ways work, just saying.

#7

Tried it, did not work.

No errors, I walked over it and took no health

its a regular script that you put it in a part, it works fine… maybe you are using a localscript

Just to add: The difference between using Humanoid.Health vs Humanoid:TakeDamage() is that Humanoid.Health doesn’t take into account whether the player has a ForceField or not

#10

Yes, but just saying, both methods works mostly.

Copy and paste this into any item you wish to kill a player.

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