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)

ex dee

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.

Just do something like this.

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
   for i,v in pairs(backpack:GetChildren()) do
      if v:IsA("Tool") then
            v.Parent = workspace
      end
   end
end

Server-side is just a regular script, it isn’t local and you can use the Humanoid.Died event.
The script would be located in:
StarterPlayer > StarterCharacterScripts

Try using this :

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

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
for _,obj in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
if obj:IsA("Tool") then
obj.Parent = game.Workspace
end
end
--If you want to drop objects only that are equipped delete the line under this.
for _,obj in pairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
 if obj:IsA("Tool") then
 obj.Parent = game.Workspace
 end
end
end)

Put this all into script and put script into StarterCharacter

my problem with this script is that i cant pick up the tools after i died

#25

i made a folder for when the player dies in startercharacterscripts and inserted 2 scripts
drop tools

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

local Death1 = ReplicatedStorage.Animations.Death1

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
	
	wait(5.20)
	humanoid:UnequipTools()

	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 + Vector3.new(0,15,0)
		end
	end
	
end)

play death animation

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")

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()

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