Death Animation works only upon Resetting [SOLVED]

Issues

I've made a `LocalScript` for Death Animations. However, The animation was only working when the player either reset themselves or their health was set to 0 and less. When the player get attacks by, e.g. Enemy NPC. So far, I have tried out many solutions and I still couldn't get a firm grasp of the issues

This is the current code:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local BlackScreenModule = require(Rep.Module:WaitForChild("BlackScreen")) --Black Screen Module

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

---------------------------------Death Animation----------------------------------------

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(
	function(char)
		Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false -- This disables the automatic 5 seconds respawning
		local Hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local Animator = Hum:WaitForChild("Animator")
		Hum.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
		Hum:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, false)--Disable Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, This will prevent the character from falling apart upon death.
		local DeathAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
		DeathAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://13111865980" --Death Anim

		--Load the animation onto the animator
		local DeathAnimationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(DeathAnim)

		--When Player's HP reached 0 it will play the animation with death ui
		Hum.HealthChanged:Connect(
			function()
				if Hum.Health <= 0 then --Check if Health <= 0 and then plays animation if so.
					player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true --Stops player from moving
					local PlayerDeadState = Rep.Value:FindFirstChild("PlayerDead")
					PlayerDeadState.Value = true  ---Set player state to dead   (DEFAULT: FALSE)
					DeathAnimationTrack:Play() --plays anim
					task.wait(2)
					BlackScreenModule.UIdeath() --Enable Game over screen
				end
			end
		)
	end
)

Here is a few examples:
Resetting

Enemy NPC

Note: I have also tried out variety of the NPC from toolbox. And none of them seems to be working as well.

					PlayerDeadState.Value = true  ---Set player state to dead   (DEFAULT: FALSE)

					task.wait(2)
					BlackScreenModule.UIdeath() --Enable Game over screen
				end
			end
		)
	end
)

Add this to your function.
Humanoid.Died function will fires when the character died.

Hum.Died:Connect( 
			function()	
					player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true --Stops player from moving
					local PlayerDeadState = Rep.Value:FindFirstChild("PlayerDead")
					PlayerDeadState.Value = true  ---Set player state to dead   (DEFAULT: FALSE)
					DeathAnimationTrack:Play() --plays anim
					task.wait(2)
					BlackScreenModule.UIdeath() --Enable Game over screen
			end
		)

Tried this and it refused to work completely. It seems like it’s not registering humanoid death.


Am I doing this wrong?

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(
	function(char)
		Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false -- This disables the automatic 5 seconds respawning
		local Hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local Animator = Hum:WaitForChild("Animator")
		Hum.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
		Hum:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, false)--Disable Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, This will prevent the character from falling apart upon death.
		local DeathAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
		DeathAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://13111865980" --Death Anim

		--Load the animation onto the animator
		local DeathAnimationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(DeathAnim)

		--When Player died, it will play the animation with death ui
		Hum.Died:Connect(
			function()
				player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true --Stops player from moving
				local PlayerDeadState = Rep.Value:FindFirstChild("PlayerDead")
				PlayerDeadState.Value = true  ---Set player state to dead   (DEFAULT: FALSE)
				DeathAnimationTrack:Play() --plays anim
				task.wait(2)
				BlackScreenModule.UIdeath() --Enable Game over screen
			end
		)
	end
)

I fixed it by removing the “Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead” line that prevents player from dying.
However it’s still only works upon resetting and not by Enemy NPC apparently?

For those who are reading, I have managed to fix this issues.
From my guessing,
I think it was because NPC uses a normal script to damage the player. But I used localscript to set the humanoid breakjoints to false.
Even though in the serverside. server will still sees the humanoid breakjoints as true.
So I removed the breakjoints line on my localscript and moved it into serverside instead.

ServerScriptService:

--Assist script for Death Script
local PLR = game:GetService("Players")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local Humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false --Disable player falling apart on death (This make animation works)
		PLR.CharacterAutoLoads = false -- This disables the automatic 5 seconds respawning
	end)
end)

StarterPlayerScripts:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Rep = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local BlackScreenModule = require(Rep.Module:WaitForChild("BlackScreen")) --Black Screen Module

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

---------------------------------Death Animation----------------------------------------

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(
	function(char)
		local Hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local Animator = Hum:WaitForChild("Animator")
		local DeathAnim = Instance.new("Animation")
		DeathAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://13111865980" --Death Anim

		--Load the animation onto the animator
		local DeathAnimationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(DeathAnim)

		--When Player died, it will play the animation with death ui
		Hum.Died:Connect(
			function()
				player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true --Stops player from moving
				local PlayerDeadState = Rep.Value:FindFirstChild("PlayerDead")
				PlayerDeadState.Value = true  ---Set player state to dead   (DEFAULT: FALSE)
				DeathAnimationTrack:Play() --plays anim
				task.wait(2)
				BlackScreenModule.UIdeath() --Enable Game over screen
			end
		)
	end
)
