How would I detect a player when they lose health but on ServerSide?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

LOCAL SCRIPT

wait(1)
while wait() do
	if Character.Humanoid.Health == 100 then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
	end
	if Character.Humanoid.Health <= 99 then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Visible = true
	end
	script.Parent.Size = UDim2.new(Character.Humanoid.Health / Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth, 0, 1, 0)
end

How would I use this for serverside instead of only the client seeing their bar change?

Do it with a event, client - - server

Can you provide an example??? I don’t know how a serverscript would be able to modify a GUI. (i tried modulescript but it didnt work)

#4

There is an article on DevHub on remote events

#5

Your trying to modify a billboard gui right?

#6

A textlabel under a overhead GUI, yes.

#7

You can send the parameter player through the remote event and modify that player’s textlabel to anything you want

#8

Can I see an example? I’m not very good at remotevents.

#9

You can try using Humanoid.HealthChanged in both your local and serverscript to minimize the use of loops

game.ReplicatedStorage.Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player) 
    - - gui code

Is this a serverscript or a localscript?

#12

You are receiving the event from the client so is a server script.

#13

You could use remote events to replicate, or use PlayerAdded and CharacterAdded in a server script to handle the health serverside

#14 
Character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function(property)
-- code here (Example, print(property) -- prints the health after it was changed)
end)

hope thiz helpz

#15

this would also run when the player heals it would work if there was no healing in his game

#16

Are you trying to make a healthbar? If so, it is possible to handle health bars entirely on the client, rather than rendering them on the server, using character added and health changed events.

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/Humanoid/HealthChanged

-- script inside serverscriptservice

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
            print(player.Name, "has", health, "health")
        end)
    end)
end)

you can also do the same on the client side you don’t need a while loop

-- localscript inside startcharacterscripts

local playerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
    print("LocalScript", health)
    playerGui.HealthBar.Size = UDim2.new(health / humanoid.MaxHealth, 0, 1, 0)
end)
#18 
local PrevHealth = 100
Character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function(property)
    if PrevHealth < property then return end PrevHealth = property
    
end)
