NPC Health won't update to Text

NPC Health won’t update to Text.

  1. What do you want to achieve? Basically, I wanted to create a health bar for my NPC, so whenever it gets damaged (it’s health changes). I only wanted it to be a text, and not an animated bar.

  2. What is the issue? However, it doesn’t ever update. Even after the NPC’s death. It just keeps still; doesn’t change the text at all.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    Messed with the script multiple times. Nothing helped.
    I looked for help on YouTube. Nothing found.
    Searched on DevForum. Didn’t find what I meant.

This is my script:

humanoid  = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Humanoid

humanoid.Health.Changed:Connect(function()
	script.Paernt.Text = humanoid.Health.."/"..humanoid.MaxHealth
end)

How it acts:

You spelt ‘Parent’ incorrectly:

humanoid  = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Humanoid

humanoid.Health.Changed:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.Text = humanoid.Health.."/"..humanoid.MaxHealth
end)
#3

while true do
wait()
script.Parent.Text = humanoid.Health…"/"…humanoid.MaxHealth
end

Ah, I see. However, it still does not update the health text. I really don’t know why is that.

#5

I think you should try this instead.

#6

The problem is basically the gun, because the gun just do “false damage” because is just in the client the damage and your script is in the server

#7

I have already tried this before. Didn’t do anything.

#8

local Humanoid = script.Parent.humanoid

Humanoid.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
script.Parent.Text = Humanoid.Health… “/”… Humanoid.MaxHealth
end)

Try this?

The gun is from tooblox, you can use a local script because the gun not really damage the humanoid

#10

The gun is clearly doing damage to the NPC. I made a ScreenGui TextLabel which updates to humanoid’s health and it worked perfectly fine.

#11

no, that gun just do local damage just look just are local scripts inside of it

#12

Then do I have to change it to a Server Script?

#13

but maybe jou just need to use HealthChanged

#14

What they were trying to say is the gun is doing damage locally, meaning that the player being damaged is not being replicated to the server. Workspace | Roblox Creator Documentation

#15

It’s suppose to be a server script…

#16

its humanoid.Changed:Connect(function()

#17

I am using it HealthChanged currently.

#18

Yeah, because if its local it dont really work

#19

Is the health script a local script? And is the gun script a local or server script?

#20

The health text script is a ServerScript and the gun script is a LocalScript
