Player taking full damage but not dying or respawning

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Basically my character will take more than its max health, but the death sound doesnt play and the character wont respawn. Im not really sure what is going on. Ive removed the health script from the character so it doesnt regain health.

Whats supposed to happen is that when I press E, the character is supposed to turn into red bricks and then fall over. The player then respawns and a bricky clone of them is still there. However, the character doesnt respawn.
There is a LocalScript in PlayerGui that fires a RemoteEvent when the E key is pressed and a Script inside of ServerScriptService with the script below

Video:

ServerScriptService script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Brick.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr then
		local char = plr.Character
		for i,v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do

			if v:IsA("Shirt") or v:IsA("Pants") then
				v:Destroy()
			end
			if v:IsA("Motor6D") or v:IsA("Weld") then
				local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint",v.Parent)

				weld.Part0 = v.Part0
				weld.Part1 = v.Part1

				v:Destroy()

			end

			if v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then
				v.CanCollide = true
				v.Material = Enum.Material.Brick
				v.Color = Color3.new(0.592157, 0, 0)

				if v:FindFirstChild("SpecialMesh") then
					v:FindFirstChild("SpecialMesh").Texture = nil
				end
				if v:IsA("MeshPart") then
					v.TextureID = ""
				end
			end

			if v.Name == "BodyColors" then
				v:Destroy()
			end
		end
		char.Humanoid.PlatformStand = true
		
		char.HumanoidRootPart:Destroy()
		char.Humanoid:TakeDamage(105)
		wait(2)
		char.Archivable = true
		local clone = plr.Character:Clone()
		char.Archivable = false
		for i,v in pairs(clone:GetDescendants()) do
			if v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then
				v.CanCollide = true
				v.Material = Enum.Material.Brick
				v.Color = Color3.new(0.592157, 0, 0)
			end
		end
		
		plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		clone.Humanoid:Destroy()
		clone.Parent = workspace
	end
end)

I tried to use
char.Humanoid.Health = 0
which worked

I tried and it seems to work too

Maybe you can do Character:TakeDamage(Humanoid.MaxHealth), Humanoid.Health = 0. (there’s also Character:BreakJoints())

#5

I tried this and my character still doesn’t respawn, but now it makes the death sound which is a step forward

#6

Try replacing

plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

with

plr:LoadCharacter()

Hi, there is a few flaws with your current script. Try this;

game.ReplicatedStorage.Brick.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	local char = plr.Character
	if not char then return end
	local humanoid = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
	if not humanoid or humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.PlatformStanding then return end
	humanoid.PlatformStand = true
	for i,v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("Shirt") or v:IsA("Pants") then
			v:Destroy()
		end
		if v:IsA("Motor6D") or v:IsA("Weld") then
			local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint",v.Parent)
			weld.Part0 = v.Part0
			weld.Part1 = v.Part1
			v:Destroy()
		end
		if v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then
			v.CanCollide = true
			v.Material = Enum.Material.Brick
			v.Color = Color3.new(0.592157, 0, 0)

			if v:FindFirstChild("SpecialMesh") then
				v:FindFirstChild("SpecialMesh").Texture = nil
			end
			if v:IsA("MeshPart") then
				v.TextureID = ""
			end
		end
		if v.Name == "BodyColors" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	for i,v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then
			v.CanCollide = true
			v.Material = Enum.Material.Brick
			v.Color = Color3.new(0.592157, 0, 0)
		end
	end
	task.wait(2)
	local FakeChar = Instance.new("Model")
	FakeChar.Name = "Fake-"..plr.Name
	for i,v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Part") then
			local FakePart = v:Clone()
			FakePart.Anchored = true
			FakePart.Parent=FakeChar
		end
	end
	plr:LoadCharacter()
	FakeChar.Parent = workspace
end)

Be aware that the fake-character is no longer categorised as a character. It’s simply a model with all the corresponding parts the real character had.
