Damaging script heals the humanoid?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello I want to make a survival type game, so I decided to start out coding a thirst/hunger system. Whenever each one of these are at 0, the player will take 3 damage every 2 seconds. It somewhat works, but for some odd reason, the player gets healed (slightly), and I am confused on why. No other script changes the player’s humanoid, and it’s all handled on the server.


local datastore = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local playerData = datastore:GetDataStore("PlayerData")
--local values = require(game.ServerScriptService.Modules.Values)

local function depleteThirst(player)
	while wait(5) and player.Values.Thirst.Value > 0 do
		player.Values.Thirst.Value -= 1
	end
end

local function depleteHunger(player)
	while wait(10) and player.Values.Hunger.Value > 0 do
		player.Values.Hunger.Value -= 1
	end
end

local function killPlayer(player)
	player.Values.Thirst.Changed:Connect(function()
		while player.Values.Hunger.Value == 0 or player.Values.Thirst.Value == 0 do
			wait(2)
			player.Character.Humanoid:TakeDamage(3)
		end
	end)
end

local depleteA = coroutine.wrap(depleteThirst)
local depleteB = coroutine.wrap(depleteHunger)
local kill = coroutine.wrap(killPlayer)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
	folder.Name = "Values"
	folder.Parent = player

	local hunger = Instance.new("IntValue")
	hunger.Name = "Hunger"
	hunger.Parent = folder
	hunger.Value = 5

	local thirst = Instance.new("IntValue")
	thirst.Name = "Thirst"
	thirst.Parent = folder
	thirst.Value = 5

	local warmth = Instance.new("IntValue")
	warmth.Name = "Warmth"
	warmth.Parent = folder

	local stamina = Instance.new("IntValue")
	stamina.Name = "Stamina"
	stamina.Parent = folder

	depleteA(player)
	depleteB(player)
	kill(player)
end)

This is the script that handles the damaging and values,

Here is a video that explains what I mean.

Notice the Health script inside of your character in the video. That is one of Roblox’s default scripts that auto-regens your health. That’s likely what is causing your problem. This can easily be solved by going under StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts and inserting a disabled script named Health (insides can be left blank).
