local script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Death1 = ReplicatedStorage.Animations.Death1
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local HumanoidRootPart = player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local ToolDropOnDeath = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ToolDropOnDeath

local deathanimtrack
humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function()
	if humanoid.Health <= 0 then
		
		humanoid:UnequipTools()

		ToolDropOnDeath:FireServer()

		HumanoidRootPart.Massless = true
		deathanimtrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(Death1)
		deathanimtrack:Play()
		wait(2)
		HumanoidRootPart.Massless = false

	end
end)

server script

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ToolDropOnDeath = ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.ToolDropOnDeath

ToolDropOnDeath.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local HumanoidRootPart = player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	for i,tool in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
		if tool:IsA("Tool") and tool:FindFirstChild("Handle") then	
			tool.Parent = game.Workspace
			tool.Handle.CFrame = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
		end
	end
	
end)

Make sure that the tool is CanCollide == true after setting his parent to Workspace. If CanCollide will be false then tool will fall out of the map.

Why not use the Humanoid.Died event?

Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
    --fires whenever the player dies
end)
#8

well the death animations play so i dont think thats the problem

#9

Try to remove :GetChilden()
for i, v in pairs should automically get all childrens from the object

#10

ServerScriptService.DropTools:7: invalid argument #1 to ‘pairs’ (table expected, got Instance)

Well, it’s better than detecting it when it changes AND you can even do this also:

-- Server script in StarterCharacter
local Character = script.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
local humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local humanoidRoot = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local deathanimtrack

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
     humanoid:UnequipTools()
     for I, tools in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
         tools.Parent = workspace
     end
     humanoidRoot.Massless = true
     deathanimtrack = humanoid:LoadAnimation(Death1) --where is this?
     deathanimtrack:Play()
     wait(2)
     humanoidRoot.Massless = false
end)

This could be used, no remote events were necessary, quite easier.

Ah yes, :GetChildren() is not the problem

When the player equips a tool, it gets cloned into the Character. Try looping through their character for any tools. If not try their starterpack.

#15

Yes because they are using UserInputService which is local. This can be handled on the server.

Wait, why did you link the reply?

#16

i used humanoid:UnequipTools() before i parented the tools to game.workspace

You should make this on Server-Side because exploiters can bypass it.
