Instant death tool

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

i made a script that kills the player when it is activated

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(tool.Parent)
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	humanoid:TakeDamage(100)
end)

i don’t understand why it isn’t working

#2

This doesn’t seem to make sense, you can just condense this to

local character = tool.Parent

Also, can you describe what you mean by “not working”?

#3

well when the tool is activated it’s supposed to make the humanoid take damage

#4

you could try

script.parent.activated:Connect(function(hit)
local char = workspace:findfirstchild(hit.Name)
char.Humanoid.Health = 0
end)
#5

I know, but what’s the issue? Is the script not running? Is the player not fullying dying?

#6

yeah its not dying like i made the script to do

#7

You can insert math.huge into the Humanoid:TakeDamage parameters or just set the humanoid health to 0 like @Callum_Cloth suggested:

humanoid:TakeDamage(math.huge)
#9

you can by doing

char.humanoid.Health = char.humanoid.Health - number
#10

You can

With Humanoid.Health you can just set its health

Humanoid:TakeDamage() is a function for Humanoids to take Damage, the only difference is that you cant add with Humanoid:TakeDamage()

#11

alright i’ll see if that works

#12

unfortunately that didn’t as well

#13

Did you try this yet?


script.parent.activated:Connect(function(hit)
local char = workspace:findfirstchild(hit.Name)
char.Humanoid.Health = 0
end)

but that in a normal script in the tool

#14

is there any errors in output?

#15

15:45:33.640 Script ‘Players.H2nad.Backpack.Instant Death.Script’, Line 3 - Studio - Script:3
15:45:33.640 Stack End - Studio

not seeing anything out of the ordinary

#16

can i see whats the current script you are using?

#17 
local tool = script.Parent
local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(tool.Parent)
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local function instantkill ()
	humanoid:TakeDamage(100)
end

tool.Activated:Connect(instantkill)
#18

is the script context local ? also have you tried this script yet

script.parent.activated:Connect(function(hit)
local char = workspace:findfirstchild(hit.Name)
char.Humanoid.Health = 0
end)
#19

Also. The code you are running at the beginning, It will only run once, Are you sure you have access to the Player? And are you sure it isnt nil?

#20

yes, that didn’t work either :((

#21

try adding a print under the player (print the player variable)

see if its returning nil or not
