How to check if a specific player if NOT in the game

[Kittylitterking123]

It doesn’t work.

		if Player.UserId == 3081295884 then
			print("Player found.  Hello, WolfieGamerYT!")
			local SpeedTool = ServerStorage.SpeedTool:Clone()
			SpeedTool.Parent = Player.Backpack
			print("tool given")
			
			local leaderstats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
			
			leaderstats.Coins.Value = 1000000
			leaderstats.Gems.Value = 1000000
		else
			local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
			
				while task.wait(1) do
					Humanoid:TakeDamage(5)
					
				if Humanoid.Health == 0 then
					Player:Kick("Begone!")
					break
				end
			end
		end
	end)
end)

Interesting. What exactly is and is not working? Can you show me screenshots of your output and what is happening during playtesting?

@Kittylitterking123

				if Humanoid.Health == 0 then
					Player:Kick("Begone!")
					break
				end

It’s not working because while task.wait(1) do keeps executing forever, and it never gets to the next part. I would reccomend setting up a Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()) before you start the while loop.

Can you please give me sample?

Ah, I see. I forgot to break the loop.

Try this.

local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

PlayerService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
     if Player.UserId == 0000000000 --[[USER ID HERE]] then
          local SpeedTool = ServerStorage.SpeedTool:Clone()
          SpeedTool.Parent = Player.Backpack
          
          local Stats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
          
          Stats.Coins.Value = math.huge
          Stats.Gems.Value = math.huge
     else
          local Character = Player.Character
          local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

          Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
             Player:Kick("Be gone!")
          end

          while task.wait(1) do
             Humanoid:TakeDamage(5)
          end
     end
end

How to use Humanoid.Died:

local Humanoid = -- Path to humanoid here

local function Died()
     -- Function code here
end

Humanoid.Died:Connect(function(Died)

- or -

local Humanoid = -- Path to humanoid here

Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
     -- Function code here
end

It worked! Thank you so much! Have a good rest of your day! I just have one question: Would it still work if I removed the while loop?

[blvecoves]

The loop takes away 5 HP from the player every second. Here is a breakdown of it:

while task.wait(1) --[[1 Second interval]] do
     Humanoid:TakeDamage(5) -- Take 5 health points away
end -- End of the loop

So basically, the player will only be damaged by 5 if you take the loop away. They’ll never be killed.

You could, however, take away the loop and just instantly kill them instead.

Humanoid:TakeDamage(Humanoid.Health) -- Kills the player by taking all their HP
Player:Kick("Be gone!") -- Kicks the player

Alternatively, if you want them to die quicker, you can decrease the delay time or increase the amount of health you take away.

while task.wait(0.30) do
     Humanoid:TakeDamage(5)
end

- or -

while task.wait(1) do
     Humanoid:TakeDamage(20)
end

Hope this helps. Have a great rest of your day!
