I’m trying to make a tool that functions similar to the Totem of Undying from Minecraft; when the player takes fatal damage, the tool activates, preventing the player from dying but being consumed in the process.
I currently have this script set up:
local tool = script.Parent
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
local Character = tool.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
if Humanoid.Health == 0 then
Humanoid.Health = 10
wait()
tool:Destroy()
end
wait()
end)
It’s in a serverscript as a child of the tool, and the tool is currently in StarterPack but I hope to soon move it to replicatedstorage for use ingame.
Currently, the script doesn’t throw any errors, but the player still dies. Is there any way to get this to work? Thanks in advance!

Use that when player equips the item Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, false)
Normal event of player humanoid health changed should still be called with value of 0, so after that event is called, set that state back to true and destroy the item.
EDIT: I think it is important to also mention that your code would never work, because Equipped event is called when player equips the event, and so it’s impossible for the player to have 0 health.
Look at the code from logical view and try to step your code in your head. In Roblox you use events for different things, including player health change Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(hp) ... end)
I’m sorry, I don’t really get what you mean.
Best I could come up with is this:
local tool = script.Parent
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
local Character = tool.Parent
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, false)
Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(hp)
hp = 10
wait()
tool:Destroy()
end)
end)
