Hey, Why Wont The Rig Heal?

Help and Feedback Platform Usage Support
#1

So, I got a server script under a rig, and I want the rig to generate health. As a beginner scripter, the solution might be easy but it’s been on my nerves, so any help is well appreciated! Here is the server script:

local healthregn = 10
local wait = 4
local humanoid = rig:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)
local rig = script.Parent

function regen()

if humanoid then
	rig.Humanoid.Health = rig.Humanoid.Health + healthregn
end

end

while true do
task.wait(wait)
regen()
end

Don’t know why the code did that when I posted but that’s all the code from the colon

cant you just copy the health script from the starter character and place that into the rig?

Yep, The Script is already inside the rig (model)

Is the humanoid already at full health? It can’t heal if it already is at full health.

oh also, I don’t know if this is how it works, but shouldn’t “local rig” come before “local humanoid”? I think that might be it maybe.

–When it is looking at the if statement it might be trying to understand where the humanoid is–

Yes, it is but when i deal damage using a sword I made and yes, the sword works, it still doesn’t heal

local healthregn = 10
local wait = 4
local rig = script.Parent
local humanoid = rig:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

function regen()
	if humanoid then
		print(rig.Humanoid.Health)
		rig.Humanoid.Health += healthregn
	end
end

while true do
	task.wait(wait)
	regen()
end

Lets start with some basic debugging, what does this print?

If the sword is using a LocalScript to deal damage, this script might not work.

Only “100” and it is a server script

Yes do check the sword script I had a very similar issue when the rig would die, their ghost would literally haunt me (my weapons would only kill on the client)

#12

can we get any extra footage such as a video?

Pretty sure your sword script is a localscript because when I tested your script it didn’t work if you set the health on client.

But the sword requires mouse input and that is a client function

Then either use a remote event to take damage on the server or make your health regenerate on client.

Use a remote event to give the server script the mouse

That could cause A LOT of lag considering that would mean sending up to 30 signals/second.
