Humanoid Health Bug

[hours2]

Hey, I’m trying to prevent the player from using a toggle when they are dead. To do this, I am checking when their health is 0, they can’t use the toggle. However, after they respawn they are unable to use the toggle.

This is my code:

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, typing)
	if typing then return end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and character.Humanoid.Health ~= 0 then
		if isToggled then
			isToggled = false
		else
			isToggled = true
		end
	else
		print(character.Humanoid:GetState())
	end
	print(isToggled)
end)

I’;m not sure if this is a client-server bug or if there is a more efficient way to check if the player is dead, any feedback would be great.

Thanks

Where is this script placed – CharacterStarterScripts or PlayerStarterScripts?

Have you looked at the Output for errors?

[hours2]

The script is in StarterPlayerScripts, and there isn’t anything in the output that throws and error.

Also, I tried printing the value of Humanoid.Health after the player respawns and it only prints 0.

I think the character variable might not be updating after respawn. That what it looks like at least.
Can you show how the variable is being set?

[hours2]

I set the character with this block:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat task.wait() until player.Character
local character = player.Character

at the very beginning of my script

My guess is that character was defined somewhere above this function, then the character died. So, now the character no longer exists for this function.

When a character dies, you need to make sure this script redefines the character variable to the new character.

If the character doesn’t exist though, I would have gotten an error in the output

[frivgametrol]

Yeah its exactly that.
So here you are setting the character variable only once when the player joins the game. You can fix this in two ways:

• Move the script to StarterCharacterScripts instead (You might need to rewrite some parts of the script)
• You set a connection at the beggining for whenever the player character loads

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(NewCharacter)
character = NewCharacter
end)

@hours2

if isToggled then
			isToggled = false
		else
			isToggled = true
		end

Also just an extra tip (you can ignore this if you want or think its confusing):

• Instead of making an if statement you can just do IsToggled = not IsToggled, that way if its false it turns true and if its true it turns false without needing all those lines.
