[SOLVED] Why is Humanoid.Died not working on anchored characters?

When I kill an anchored character with a sword, Humanoid.Died works. However, when I shoot it with a Hyperlaser Gun, it doesn't work.

I tried editing the tool script, I tried unanchoring, I tried SetNetworkOwner(nil), I tried changing the HumanoidState, I tried using Humanoid:TakeDamage(), and I tried using Humanoid.ChildAdded since the tool script tags the Humanoid, nothing works. I tried possible answers and solutions, still nothing works.

If you know a way, please leave your solutions and I will try them all. Thank you! ^^

Respawn Script: (the script that the Humanoid.Died event is used)

local zombie = script.Parent
local hum = zombie:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

hum.Died:Connect(function()
	local mrclone = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(zombie.Name):Clone()
	mrclone.Parent = workspace.Monsters
	mrclone:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(workspace.JennaSpawn.CFrame)
	zombie:Destroy()
end)

Tool Script:

I finally found the solution! I actually don't have to change the Respawn Script, instead, it was the Tool Script. In lines 129-130, it removes any LocalScript and Script inside the character, including the Respawn Script.

elseif v:IsA("LocalScript") or v:IsA("Script") then
	v:Destroy()
end

What I did was I made an "if" statement to tell if the script name is "Respawn" or not.

elseif v:IsA("LocalScript") or v:IsA("Script") then
	if v.Name ~= "Respawn" then
		v:Destroy()
	end
end

I tried it and it now works! Thank you to the other person who answered this, but your script didn't work.

Hello,

Instead of Humanoid.Died use Humanoid.HealthChanged, you can check if the new Humanoid Health Value is less or equal to 0. That will be like,

Tip: Humanoid.HealthChanged has first Parameter of Newhealth

local Zombie = script.Parent
local Humanoid = zombie:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(NewHealth)
	if NewHealth <= 0 then
		-- Do stuff
	end
end)
