I’m Trying To Make A Script Where When the Player Takes Damage, The Script Checks To see if The Player Is Able To Either Dodge The attack, Nullifying the Damage Entirely at the Cost of Stamina, Or Use Defense, Reducing The Damage to 1, But Applying The Attacks Damage To The Defense Value.
The Issue So Far Is that, When The Player takes Damage, The Scripts For Dodging Or Defending Don’t activate, Meaning That The Player Takes The Damage Normally.
The Script Doesn’t Print Any Errors In The Console, So Its likely that the code is Just not Running.
I have tried encasing the whole function in a while true Loop, Which predictably Broke because it ran too many times, and a while Humanoid.HealthChanged() == true loop, Which I’m On now. I think It Could Be an issue With The Health changed == true, But I don’t Have any ideas on other ways to Make sure that the script Runs Every time The Player Takes Damage, So I’m Coming To you All for help.
Heres My Script In Its Entirety, Ive Added Comments To Help You Understand At a glance what each line was intended to do.
local settings = script.Settings --Grabs The Settings For the Dodge Script
local maxStamina = settings.maxStam.Value --Set The Players Max Stamina
local staminaRegen = settings.stamRegen.Value -- Set Players Stamina Regen
local stamtime = settings.stamtime.Value -- Sets the Time Needed for Stamina Recovery
local stamina = settings.stamina --Set the Player's Current Stamina (I dont Have .Value here because I need the script to Change the Values when Running The Scripts.)
local maxDefence = settings.Defence.Value --Sets the Player's Maximum Defence
local defence = settings.Defence --Set the Player's Current Defence
local folder = script.Parent --Find the Folder that the Script Is Housed In
local Humanoid = folder.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") --Find Player Character That Parents That Folder
local maxHealth = settings.Health.Value --Sets maxHealth Variable to Health
local hasRun = false --Creates hasRun Boolean
if hasRun == false then --If this code has not Been Run yet then (This Code Here is to make sure that the game setting the player's HP When Selecting a character Does NOT Trigger the Stamina Or Defence Scripts.)
if Humanoid.MaxHealth ~= maxHealth then --If The Player's Max Health Does Not Equal the Max Health Variable
Humanoid.MaxHealth = maxHealth --Set the Player's Max Health To The Max Health Variable
Humanoid.Health = maxHealth --Set the Player's Health To the Max Health Variable
end
hasRun = true --Set hasRun to True.
print("Health set!") --Debug Command To Let me know When Function Runs
end
while hasRun == true and Humanoid.HealthChanged == true do
while Humanoid.HealthChanged == true do --When The Player's health Is changed
if maxStamina > 0 then --Run Only If Max Stamina Is Greater than 0.
print("Dodge Is Active!")
while stamina.Value > 0 do --If Stamina Is Greater than 0
print("Dodging is Available!")
local CurrentHp = Humanoid.Health --Check Player's Current health
local NewHp = Humanoid.Health --Check Players health Again
if NewHp < CurrentHp then --If The Player's Current Health Is Lower Than The last Time It was Checked.
print("Player Has Taken Damage!")
local Drain = CurrentHp - NewHp --Find The Damage Taken.
Humanoid.Health = CurrentHp --Set Player's Health Back to What it was Before Taking Damage.
stamina.Value = stamina.Value - Drain --Reduce Player's Stamina By The amount Of damage taken.
print("Dodged!") --Debug Command To Let me know When Function Runs
else
print("Player Has Taken Damage! Could Not Dodge!")
return -- If Player's health is Not Lower than the Last time it was checked, Do Nothing
end
end
end
while maxDefence > 0 do
print("Defence Is Active!")
while defence.Value > 0 do --While Player Defence Is Greater than 0
print("Defence Is Available!")
local Humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") --Get Player Character
local CurrentHp = Humanoid.Health --Check Players Current Health
wait()
local NewHp = Humanoid.Health --Check Player Health Again And Compare To Original Value
if NewHp < CurrentHp then --If Hp Has Decreased
print("Player Has Taken Damage!")
local Drain = CurrentHp - NewHp --Take The Difference Between The Old Hp and Current Hp
Humanoid.Health = CurrentHp - 1 --Set Player Health To What It was Before the Damage was taken, Minus 1.
defence.Value = defence.Value - Drain -- Reduce Defence By the Amount of Damage Taken.
print("Damage Reduced!")
end
end
end
end
end
if stamina.Value < maxStamina then -- If The Player Has Lower Stamina Than Max Stamina
repeat
wait(stamtime) --Wait stamtime Seconds
stamina.Value = stamina.Value + staminaRegen --Increase Stamina by staminaRegen Variable
print("Stamina Recovered!")
until stamina.Value == maxStamina --Repeat Until stamina is equal to The Max Stamina
end
if defence.Value <= 0 and hasRun == true then --If Defence is 0 Or Less
wait(15) --Wait 15 seconds
defence.Value = maxDefence --Set Defence Back to max Defence
print("Defence Restored!")
end
while true do --Debug Script That Prints Stamina And Defence Values every 3 Seconds
wait(5)
print("Current Stamina: " .. stamina.Value)
print("Current Defence: " .. defence.Value)
end
