im using a humanoid.healthchanged on an object which i gave a humanoid to it and it doesnt work
What have you done to debug this problem?
tried to print the health but it doesnt print the health whatsoever even when it decreases through server input
Try warning the health.Value instead
Have you done anything to verify the connection of your event listener to Humanoid.HealthChanged?
how do i do thatㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
There is no reason why RBXScriptSignal:Connect would fail, so the best way to ensure it’s being reached is to place a print call prior to your connection of the event listener. You could also set a breakpoint and see if it’s triggered
i think the humanoid fails to reach the condition of humanoid.HealthChanged being triggered, and with breakpoints, doesnt run
This is a sign that your code isn’t being executed. You’ll need to show us more
ive used the function for this sentry, which has a humanoid and a humanoidrootpart as its primary part
can you show us the full script?
AttackTesting script:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local sentry = script.Parent
local config = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Config")
local cooldown = config:GetAttribute("SentryFirerate")
local damage = config:GetAttribute("SentryDamage")
warn(cooldown, damage)
local function FindNearestTarget()
local maxDistance = config:GetAttribute("SentryRange")
local nearestTarget = nil
local targetList = {}
for i, model in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
-- Checking to see if the target is fitting to be attacked by the sentry
if model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and model:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") and model.Parent ~= workspace.Sentries and config:GetAttribute("Owner") ~= model.Name then
table.insert(targetList, model)
end
end
for i, target in ipairs(targetList) do
-- local target = player.Character
local targetDistance = (sentry.HumanoidRootPart.Position - target.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
if targetDistance < maxDistance then
nearestTarget = target
maxDistance = targetDistance
print("Target is " .. maxDistance .. " studs away from the sentry.")
end
end
return nearestTarget
end
while true do
local target = FindNearestTarget()
if target then
target.Humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
end
task.wait(cooldown)
end
sentry.Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
warn(health)
if health <= 0 then
sentry:Destroy()
end
end)
sentry.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
warn("among us")
end)

Ah! I see! Lines of code won’t run if while loop runs. You have to put the while loop into task.spawn!
task.spawn(function()
while true do
end
end)

will coroutine.wrap work or is there a difference
You need to clarify that the humanoid hitbox is within the model’s boundaries. And you need to make sure that the sentry is a humanoid object through the script.
It works too! You can choose between coroutines and task library.

Coroutine just makes your script look cooler. While true would work fine.
@Fan_Len4ika1Tvink123 has said that a coroutine or a task.spawn is required if we are to get another function to run outside the main loop
Yes i saw it already, no need for clarification 
Update: it won’t work with coroutines so i just used task.spawn()
