Can someone explain me why this script doesn't work when the player dies and respawns ?
it prints damaged but the player doesnt take any damage, works when u spawn for the first time tho
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char.Humanoid
local function onTouch(Touch)
if Touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and script.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
hum:TakeDamage(1)
print("Damaged")
end
end
script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

When you say it works when you spawn the first time do you mean it kills you? Dealdamage doesn’t work when force field is enabled SethHeinzman 284 — 4y

Also don’t use the hum that you get at the top, get the humanoid that you used in the if statement SethHeinzman 284 — 4y

local function onTouch(Touch)
local hum = Touch.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)
if hum and script.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
hum:TakeDamage(1)
print("Damaged")
end
end
script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Touched:Connect(onTouch

yes this pretty much fixed it u think that the characterAdded event in general breaks a script when u want it to work all the time ? EvilTony99 -7 — 4y

Well what was happening was it was making the humanoid the new person that was Added. So idk it was weird how you were doing it lol. SethHeinzman 284 — 4y

ohhhh i remember now why i did this because the npcs when they touched another npc they deals damage to them but i want them to deal damage only for the player EvilTony99 -7 — 4y

Then you just Check to see if the player from character inside OnTouch is a player and if it is then youdeal damage. SethHeinzman 284 — 4y

something like this local character = game.Workspace.Player local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character) into the touch function right ? EvilTony99 -7 — 4y

Not sure exactly where this script is inside of your game which may affect the answer, but the issue you are having is likely because of the player's character resetting.
Every time a player respawns Roblox will load a new character for them. That means that you need to redefine your character variables. So your script would look something like this...
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char.Humanoid
function onTouch(Touch)
if Touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil and script.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
hum:TakeDamage(1)
print("Damaged")
end
end
-- This fires every time the character is added
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(newChar)
-- redefine your variables to the updated references
char = newChar
hum = newChar:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
-- reconnect the touch event on the new character
char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Touched:Connect(onTouch)
end)
-- fired once on the first load of the character
char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Touched:Connect(onTouch)
