Humanoid Health Replacement

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

salutations all, i come with an issue

i’m trying to use a numbervalue inside of the character as a replacement of the Humanoid’s health,

eg - the health of the player decreases by 10
numbervalue decreases by 10
^^ but it should not mirror the humanoid’s health
this is so later i can make the humanoid’s health return to 100

the issue is, the numbervalue does not do this and just halts/stays at the default value set for it, anyyy help?!

here is my code (startercharacterscripts):

local function onDamageTaken(damage)
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local character = player.Character
	local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local healthNumberValue = character:FindFirstChild("Health")

	if humanoid and healthNumberValue then
		local currentValue = healthNumberValue.Value

		if humanoid.Health > damage then
			humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health - damage
			healthNumberValue.Value = currentValue - damage
		else
			healthNumberValue.Value = currentValue - humanoid.Health
			humanoid.Health = 0
		end
	end
end

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
	local healthNumberValue = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Health")
	if healthNumberValue then
		healthNumberValue:Destroy()
	end
end)

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
	onDamageTaken(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth - game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health)
end)

i’m still a beginner so all help is appreciated, thank you!

Health is my NumberValue
