How to check if the player has "un-died"?

Asked by 8 years ago
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
    repeat wait() until game.Workspace[player.Name].Humanoid ~= nil

    if game.Workspace[player.Name].Humanoid ~= nil then
        if game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PlayerOwnsAsset(player, 442799450) or player.Name == "uwot_m9" or player.Name == "Player1" or player.Name == "Ractrium" or player.Name == "Ravogan" then
            --Double health
            game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Humanoid.MaxHealth = 200
            game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Humanoid.Health = 200
        else
        end

        if game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name):WaitForChild("Health") then
            game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Health:Remove()
            script.Health.Parent = game.Workspace[player.Name]
            wait()
            game.Workspace[player.Name]:WaitForChild("Health").Disabled = false
        end
    end
end)

There's my script, what is happening is it checks if the player is died, and repeats wait() until humanoid isn't nil, and checks if they own the gamepass and gives them double health, and inserts a modified health script, also.

But...none of it works, how do you check when the player is living again after he/she dies? Thanks for all help!

You can use the CharacterAdded event to check when he respawns but this also checks for when his character is loaded into the game.

In general it is not good to change things like HP on the client side as this is secure information.

Events such as the humanoid died should also be done on the server. For players the CharacterAdded is used to setup properties for the player each time the character is added to the workspace so we don't need to check for when the player dies.

As currently this is done in a local script I have changed this into a server script:-

local mps = game:GetService("MarketplaceService") -- so we dont waste time getting the service each time

-- a list of player who can get the HP with no gamepass
-- this works as true is returned when found or nil when the player is not found nil in logic returns false
local plrList = {
    ["uwot_m9"] = true, ["Player1"] = true, ["Ractrium"] = true, ["Ravogan"] = true
}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) -- add the ebent to the player when they join

    plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(plrModel) -- this will run each time the spawn

        local plrNew = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(plrModel)

        -- it might be better to sore a value it the pass is present so we dont need to check each time
        if mps:PlayerOwnsAsset(plrNew, 442799450) or plrList[plrNew.Name] then
            -- give player more HP
            givePlrHP(plrModel)
        end


        -- I do not know what the purpose of this part so i cannot change this

--      if game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name):WaitForChild("Health") then
--            game.Workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name).Health:Remove()
--            script.Health.Parent = game.Workspace[player.Name]
--            wait()
--            game.Workspace[player.Name]:WaitForChild("Health").Disabled = false
--        end       

    end)

end)

-- small function to give the hp
function givePlrHP(plrModel)
    local hum = plrModel:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    hum.MaxHealth = 200
    hum.Health = 200
end

Only one small change is that I have added a table. This will help when adding more people to check as you currently check for each name.

As this has be turned into a server script please comment if you need any more help in understanding how/why this works.

Hope this helps.
