The zombies humanoid is named Zombie so you cant shoot teammates so do I still have to do script.Parent.Zombie.Humanoid.Died

#23

You shouldn’t be renaming the Humanoid of the Zombie, that may be the problem.

#24

To check if a character is an NPC or a player, just do this instead:

local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(character.Name)
if plr then -- It is a player

else -- It's not
#25

What all do I change to switch to something this style:

if plr then -- It is a player

else -- It's not
#26
  1. Don’t rename your zombie’s Humanoid.
  2. Make sure you have a script in your guns that tags the zombies with an ObjectValue
  3. Make sure your Kill/Money script is a Script not a LocalScript(Local Scripts can’t change values)
#27

Yeah I have learned that local scripts don’t work. (the hard way)

#28

I’ll try making a simple demo in Roblox Studio.

#29

So do I do something like this

local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(character.Name)
if plr then 
plr.Humanoid.Health = plr.Humanoid.Health - 0

else 
Hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = Hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health - 10
#30

Put this in a script, and use this function when you detect that the gun has hit something.

function OnHit(plr, hit)
    --Plr is the plr who shot the gun
    if hit.Parent then
	    local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	    if hum then
	    	local hitPlr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name)
		
	    	if not hitPlr then -- If it's not a player
		    	--Do Damage
	    		hum:TakeDamage(10)

	    		-- Add a tag to the zombie
	    		if hum.Health <= 0 then --Player has killed the zombie because Health is lower than 0
			    	local tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue",hit.Parent)
			    	tag.Name = "creator"
			    	tag.Value = plr -- Player who fired the gun
		    	end
	    	end
	    	--If it is a player, do nothing


	    end
    end
end
#31

where do I put the script at in the gun or workspace or serverscriptservice

#32

In the gun, with your hit detection.

#33

How are you checking for hits. Do you use bullet.Touched or raycasting or some other method?

#34

I normally just do raycasting for that stuff

#35

Ok, so then put this with your raycasting script.

local hit, position = workspace:FindPartOnRayWithIgnoreList(ray, ignore)

if hit then
    OnHit(plr,hit)
end
#36

Why are the zombies no longer attacking me after I changed the humanoid name to Humanoid. Also Do I do the same script or a melee weapon.

#37

Are you using the Roblox zombie?

#38

No I am using a custom one made for me by a friend for this

#39

Since you’ve used Zombie instead of Humanoid in the past, your AI Zombie scripts must have been messed up after changing the name.

#40

Yeah and I have changed everything I can find to Humanoid but they still are doing nothing

#41

Hm ok, try changing it back then. See if the zombies start working again.
