why am i getting the error "Disconnect is not a valid member of RBXScriptSignal" ?
heya
i wanted to create a text block that appears when a certain character dies,, though ive put it in kinda weirdly..
i want the heartbeat runservice to disconnect when the enemy is killed,, but i keep getting the same "Disconnect is not a valid member of RBXScriptSignal" error when the character does die
print("YES I DO ANYTYING AT ALL HI")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local open = false
local heartbeathaha = RunService.Heartbeat
heartbeathaha:Connect(function()
if workspace.megabob.Humanoid.Health == 0 then
heartbeathaha:Disconnect(function()
print("MEGABOB DEAD YES HI")
local StarterGui = Players:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local ScreenGui = StarterGui.bobquestion1
local Frame = ScreenGui.Frame
Frame.Visible = true
if open == false then
open = true
Frame.Visible = true
wait(4)
Frame.Visible = false
ScreenGui = StarterGui.bobquestion2
Frame = ScreenGui.Frame
Frame.Visible = true
open = true
Frame.Visible = true
wait(4)
Frame.Visible = false
heartbeathaha:Disconnect()
end
end)
else
print("THIS CODE WORKS CORRECTLY")
open = false
local StarterGui = Players:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local ScreenGui = StarterGui.bobquestion1
local Frame = ScreenGui.Frame
Frame.Visible = false
print("THIS CODE WORKS VERY CORRECTLY")
end
end
)
can someone tell me what exactly is going wrong here..? im not the greatest at troubleshooting

The reason for this error is exactly what the error says; the Disconnect method is not a member of RBXScriptSignal. You're trying to use the Disconnect method on the Event itself which isn't a member of that data type.
The Disconnect method is a member of the RBXScriptConnection data type. The RBXScriptConnection, known as the Connection, is an object returned by the Connect method of an Event. This is used to disconnect a function from an Event.
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local heartbeathaha = RunService.Heartbeat
local connection
connection = heartbeathaha:Connect(function() -- Connects the function to the event and returns the connection object.
if workspace.megabob.Humanoid.Health == 0 then
connection:Disconnect()
end
end)
