can anyone tell me why it doesnt destroy OR subtract one from the mobvalue?
idk what I coulda gotten wrong
local mobnumb = game.ServerScriptService.DeathCheck.MobNumber
wait(5)
if script.Parent.Health == 0 then
wait(0.1)
script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
mobnumb.Value -= 1
end
0
Have you tried printing to see if the code has executed? It could be that Health is not equal to 0 at that time. PhantomVisual 992 — 1y

The problem here is after 5 seconds it checks if the NPCs health is 0 and if it isn't then it will move on and never check again. SimpleFlame 255 — 1y

I'm guessing your NPCs use humanoids so you can used the .Died event.
A script in the NPC:
local npc = script.Parent
local humanoid = npc:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local mobNum = game.ServerScriptService.DeathCheck.MobNumber
humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
mobNum.Value -= 1
task.wait(0.1)
npc:Destroy()
end)

The issue with the value not being subtracted one is that I'm assuming you're attempting to access a local variable within DeathCheck that is only local to that script. So pretty much you're minusing one from nothing. A way I use whenever I want to have a value from a script able to be changed by anyone is by creating a folder within the player
Example:
game.Player.Playeradded:Connect(function()
local folder = instance.new("Folder", player)
folder.name = "Whatever"
local mobnumb = instance.new("NumberValue", whatever)
mobnumb.Name = "mobnumb"
mobnumb.Value = 100
end)
whenever you want to minus it
player.Whatever.mobnumb.Value -=1
for the destroying part I'd have to see what you're attempting to destroy

well im trying to destroy an npc whenever its health is under 0 it gets destroyed and it subtracts 1 from the intvalue "mobnumber" and whenver the mobvalue == 0 then you win the game" StevenElijah7019 57 — 1y
