Sword not doing damage to a brick with a humanoid + not updating text

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

The textlabel isn’t being updated like it should and it isn’t taking any damage either, even though I added a humanoid. Can someone help me? The scripts are:

update text label script:

local helth = script.Parent
local bricc = workspace.brickgod
local human = bricc.Humanoid

while true do
helth.Text = "bricc helth: " ..human.Health
wait(5)
end

damage script:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid')
	if humanoid then
		humanoid:TakeDamage(10) 
	end
end)

Ok first of all, is the script a LocalScript? If so, I will check the code in case there is any error.

No, which script is meant to be a localscript?

The script inside the GUI. GUIs use LocalScripts to modify themselves.
Remember that LocalScripts affects the Client not the Server. That’s the reason, because GUIs work with a single client not with the whole server.

Done, but it still wont update it and the health doesn’t change so there’s something wrong with the damage script

The text now changes though.

Maybe this?

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	-- local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA('Humanoid') Instead of this try with FindFirstChild
    local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if humanoid and humanoid.Health ~= 0 then
		humanoid:TakeDamage(10) 
	end
end)

Still damages things but it doesn’t work.

if humanoid and humanoid.Health ~= 0 then

Do you have the 0 instead of “nil”? Because I made a small mistake and maybe you copied it wrong.

#9

Yeah but that doesn’t change the fact that it doesn’t damage it.

I have the solution! The Humanoid Must be inside a model. Put the Part and the Humanoid in the same model.
Hope this works, I am not 100% sure.

Would the humanoid be inside the part still or would it be just inside the model?

Inside the model, if this doesn’t work I will try to remake the scripts.

#14

It works now! Thank you so much!

#15

No problem! I am glad it worked! Make sure you make that answer the solution.

#16

Also, is there a way to make that a bar? Like instead of using text you can make it like a progress bar but it goes down.

#17

You could insert a progress bar, insert a script inside it. And in the script you divide the health by maxHealth and round it up.

#18

I’ve never used it so I do not understand a word about what you’re saying.

#19

First, you create a progress bar. Then you do some math:

local frame = script.Parent
local bricc = workspace.brickgod
local human = bricc.Humanoid

while true do
   frame.Size = UDim2.new(math.floor((bricc.Humanoid.Health) / (bricc.Humanoid.MaxHealth)),0,1,0)
end

That would be a health bar basically, YT is full of tutorials but I can show you a small script here.

A useful tutorial.

local HPBar = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("HPBarName")
local Brick = workspace:FindFirstChild("brickgod")
local Human = Brick:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

Human.HealthChanged:Connect(function()
     local Percent = Human.Health / Human.MaxHealth * HPBar.Size.X.Offset
     HPBar.Size = Udim2.new(0, Percent, 0, HPBar.Size.Y.Offset)
end)

You will have to make your own HealthBar Frame
