How do I Increase/Decrease a player's health when a tool is equipped?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1 
	wait(0.5)
	print("Sledgehammer equipped")
	script.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 75
	script.Parent.Humanoid.MaxHealth = 75
--This will change the Health of the player when equipping this tool.

I don’t have good scripting knowledge so this is a very bad script. is there a way to do the effect mentioned in the title?

#2

Add a Local script inside of the Tool and paste this script, It should work I’ve tested it.

local Tool = script.Parent
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
Player.Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth = 75
Player.Character.Humanoid.Health= 75
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
Player.Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth = 100
Player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 100
end)

Doing so, would only affect the player and the server won’t see those changes.

Either use a Server Script, or use a Remote Event.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = script.Parent:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Player")
local Humanoid = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Tool = script.Parent

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	Humanoid.MaxHealth = 75
	Humanoid.Health = 75
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	Humanoid.MaxHealth = 100
	Humanoid.Health = 100
end)

I would like to add to this. Because the above script will heal the player, if the player’s health is below the maxhealth.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = script.Parent:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Player")
local Humanoid = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local EquipHealth = 75
local UnequipHealth = 100

local Tool = script.Parent

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	Humanoid.MaxHealth = EquipHealth
	if Humanoid.Health > EquipHealth then
		Humanoid.Health = EquipHealth
	end
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	Humanoid.MaxHealth = UnequipHealth
end)

Explanation can be found in the reply below.

Or FindFirstChildWhichIsA

But indeed FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA is wrongly used here.

#8

WhichIsA for OfClass because the former takes into account child classes whereas the latter does not. No classes are derived from the ‘Player’ class.

#9

I wouldn’t look more into the topic. But a player shouldn’t be found either way.
