I am not asking for a full script, I am asking how to make something happen when a player has taken damage.

game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
	if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health <= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health then
		local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
		local orgclr = Instance.new("Color3Value")
		orgclr.Color = Color3.fromRGB(plr.Character.Head.Color)
		local flash = plr.Character:GetChildrenOfClass("MeshPart")
		flash.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
		wait(0.2)
		flash.Color = orgclr
	end
end)

To know the amount changed you have to keep track of the previous health in a separate variable.

local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local storedHealth = character.Humaoid.Health
character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
	if (character.Humanoid.Health > storedHealth) then
		print("health has increased")
	elseif (character.Humanoid.Health < storedHealth) then
		print("health has decreased")
	end
	storedHealth = character.Humanoid.Health
end))

Ok the script looks like this now, but it still does not work…

local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local storedHealth = character.Humaoid.Health
character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
	if (character.Humanoid.Health > storedHealth) then
		print("healthgained")
	elseif (character.Humanoid.Health < storedHealth) then
		local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
		local orgclr = Instance.new("Color3Value")
		orgclr.Parent = script
		orgclr.Color = Color3.fromRGB(plr.Character.Head.Color)
		local flash = plr.Character:GetChildrenOfClass("MeshPart")
		flash.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)
		wait(0.2)
		flash.Color = orgclr
	end
	storedHealth = character.Humanoid.Health
end)

Is this a local script and located outside of workspace?

#10

is localscript in startercharacterscripts

#13

well first of all, you’re setting flash.Color to a color3 value

local orgclr = Instance.new("Color3Value")

…

flash.Color = orgclr

also, :GetChildrenOfClass() doesnt exist

What’s wrong with the script? Does it error or just not run at all?
