Jump script has a delay

so I’m making a script where when the npc dies I want jump = true but for some reason there is a slight delay at the time of the jump so after dying the npc does not jump immediately but there is a delay of a few seconds then jump.

local Copy = script.Parent.Parent:Clone()
local NPC = script.Parent.Parent

for i,v in pairs(NPC:GetChildren()) do 
	if v:IsA('Humanoid') then 
		Humanoid = v 
	end 
end

if Humanoid then
	Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
			Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
		wait(3.5)
		Copy.Parent = NPC.Parent
		Copy:MakeJoints()
		NPC:Destroy()
	end)
else
	warn('Cannot find Humanoid in Respawn Script!')
end

I believe the problem is that the .Died event is slightly delayed and doesn’t fire immediately. However, I found a better way to instantly tell when the NPC is dead. When the health property is updated, you can connect a function to check if the health value is 0 (which means the NPC is dead). Then you can make the NPC jump without any delay. I tested the script myself, and it works perfectly.

Here is the modified script I made for you:

local Copy = script.Parent.Parent:Clone()
local NPC = script.Parent.Parent

for i,v in pairs(NPC:GetChildren()) do 
	if v:IsA('Humanoid') then 
		Humanoid = v 
	end 
end

if Humanoid then
	Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
		if Humanoid.Health == 0 then
			Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
			wait(3.5)
			Copy.Parent = NPC.Parent
			Copy:MakeJoints()
			NPC:Destroy()
		end
	end)
else
	warn('Cannot find Humanoid in Respawn Script!')
end

this makes the npc not jump, yes he jumps but only a little even though I set the jumppower 99 :blush:
