Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

the healthbar of my npc will not change when damaged, i don’t know why

  • What does the code do and what are you not satisfied with?
    the healthbar does not work at all
  • What potential improvements have you considered?
    I’ve tried functions and loops etc
  • How (specifically) do you want to improve the code?
    i want the code the work

the code:

local humanoid = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(Damage)
	script.Parent.health.Size = UDim2.new(humanoid.Health / humanoid.MaxHealth, 0,0.85,0)
end)

We’ll need more information than that. It’s probably that humanoid isn’t found, or that your script is in the wrong RunContext.

add print(Damage) into the function, see if it prints anything.

Go to the Humanoid and make sure that the DisplayDistanceType property is set to Viewer.

You could try using a humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health") or something like that.

Completely unnecessary.

If the script is a descendant of the NPC, it should be a server script. Local scripts do not run on the server. Also, you can use the passed value from HealthChanged to adjust the size.

humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(CurrentHealth)
	script.Parent.health.Size = UDim2.new(CurrentHealth / humanoid.MaxHealth, 0,0.85,0)
end)
