Humanoid.Health stuck on 0

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’m trying to make a dummy that resets its health to 100 after 5 seconds when its health is 0.
And this is the code:

local Dummy = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Dummy:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

while wait() do
	if Humanoid.Health == 0 then
		wait(5)
		Humanoid.Health = 100
	end
end

But for some reason it doesn’t work, After I made the dummy’s health to 0, I went to the server and tried to change the Health value manually but it’s just stuck on 0. The second I tried to change the health it’s back to 0.

#2 
local Dummy = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Dummy:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local function resetHealth()
    if Humanoid.Health == 0 then
        wait(5)
        -- Ensure the Humanoid is not in a "dead" state
        Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
        Humanoid.Health = 100
    end
end

-- Monitor the Humanoid's health
Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
    if health == 0 then
        resetHealth()
    end
end)

It still didn’t work, But If I move the Dummy to ServerStorage and changing the Health value it works.

Might be a workspace problem…? idk

i think its because once a humanoid’s health is 0, it stays 0 until it gets respawned

#6 

local Dummy = script.Parent

local function resetHealth(humanoid)
    if humanoid.Health == 0 then
        wait(5)
        --Ensure the Humanoid is not in a "dead" state
        humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
        humanoid.Health = 100
    end
end

-- Watch for new Humanoids being added to the workspace
game.Workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(descendant)
    if descendant:IsA("Humanoid") then
        local humanoid = descendant
        humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
            if health == 0 then
                resetHealth(humanoid)
            end
        end)
    end
end)

you might aswell clone a new dummy to the position of the old one once it dies

By default when your humanoid’s health is at 0, they enter the dead state where your humanoid cannot gain health more than 0, Because the logic is made to prevent health from healing, you would need to disable that state and make your own dead state when it reaches 0, it’s like you’re giving them a blood and you expect the dead body to revive but remains dead forever.

also there’s no reason to use while loops for this when HealthChanged event exists for the humanoid

local dummy = script.Parent
local humanoid = dummy:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead, false) --disables the state

function reset_hp_back()
	task.wait(2) --set the timer here
	humanoid.Health = 100 
end

humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(num)
	if num <= 0 then
		reset_hp_back()
	end
end)

a reminder that changing state to either physics or anything that isnt dead will NOT work as you’re only changing it to run that state, humanoid will still die forever if you dont disable that dead state before it enters.

just remember to disable BreakJointsOnDeath if you want it in the shape you’re supposed to be, otherwise it’ll still fall even that disabled like in the video,…,…,.,…,.,.,.
