You can still utilize HealthChanged.
Just check if newHealth is lower than oldHealth.

Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(oldHealth, newHealth)
    if newHealth < oldHealth then

    end
end)

Getting the error -

attempt to compare nil and number

#4

you need to define oldHealth…

#5

It is defined. Look Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(oldHealth, newHealth)

#7

oldHealth is not a valid arguement of Humanoid.HealthChanged the first arguement of the function is the newhealth. you need to see if the newhealth is less than the original health. i honestly dont think that figuring out what the humanoids current health is and comparing it to the new health is very hard for even a 10 year old.

Oh, my bad. The only parameter is newHealth.
There’s a snippet on the wiki that can help you achieve what you’re doing.
