How to give EXP when Mob Dies in whenever its HealthChanged?

Asked 315 views2 answers

I know that there is a humanoid.Dies event and it can connect me to the player who killed it. But I want to find the player who kills the mob when the humanoid.Healthchanged event. In the code, "if currentHealth == 0" I want to figure out who the player is that made its health to 0.

As for giving exp to the player, I got that sorted it out. What I really need is, how to find the player's name who killed this mob.

humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(newHealth)
	
	local healthDifference = newHealth - humCurrentHealth
	humCurrentHealth = newHealth
	
	currentHealth = math.clamp(currentHealth + healthDifference, 0, maxHealth)
	
	bar.Size = UDim2.new(1/maxHealth*currentHealth, 0, 1, 0)
	healthTxt.Text = currentHealth .. "/" .. maxHealth
	
	
	if currentHealth == 0 then
		
		mob.Parent = game.ServerStorage
		
		currentHealth = maxHealth
		bar.Size = UDim2.new(1/maxHealth*currentHealth, 0, 1, 0)
		healthTxt.Text = currentHealth .. "/" .. maxHealth
		
		humanoid.Health = humanoid.MaxHealth
		
		
		humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(0, 0, 0))
		mob.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = spawnCFrame
				
		print("died")
		wait(respawnTime)
		
		mob.Parent = workspace
		
		
	end
end)

it's not that hard to do, there is a hacky way that roblox uses in their models to check for kills and who to give the kill to. It's a creator value, which is an object value that would store the player (the player, not the name because it's an objectValue). What you could do is tag the mob that gets hit by your weapon inside of your weapons

-- has to be in all your weapons, unless you don't want it to give xp

-- When you check hit detection
if (hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")) then
	local creator = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
	creator.Name = "creator"
	creator.Value = player -- Your player
	creator.Parent = hit.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(creator, 2) -- Remove it after 2 seconds, unless you want only the first person to get xp, you probably have to create your own system if you want to give each player the proportion of xp to the amount of damage they did
end

then in the mob script, you can check if a creator value exists and get the player who killed the mob

if (currentHealth == 0)
	local player
	if (humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") and humanoid.Creator.Value) then
		player = humanoid.Creator.Value
	end
	
	if (player) then
		-- Give xp here
	end
	mob.Parent = game.ServerStorage 
	currentHealth = maxHealth
	bar.Size = UDim2.new(1/maxHealth*currentHealth, 0, 1, 0)
	healthTxt.Text = currentHealth .. "/" .. maxHealth
 
	humanoid.Health = humanoid.MaxHealth

	humanoid:MoveTo(Vector3.new(0, 0, 0))
	mob.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = spawnCFrame

	print("died")
	wait(respawnTime)	 
	mob.Parent = workspace
end

Thank you AnasBahauddin, you taught me more uses for creator.value than I know

if you look in the classic sword model, you will see how they tag the player when they dmg and un-tags the last player that attacked if there is one. You could do something like that in your dmg script.
