Why is does the Bloxxer die everytime he destroys a Sheriff?

Asked by 6 years ago

Please provide more explanation in your question. If you explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it will be much easier to answer your question correctly.

So I have this Murder Mystery-Like Code, but the Bloxxer (the character with the sword) dies when he destroys the/a Sheriff. The section of code I believe is malfunctioning is the part that ensures the Sheriff doesn't kill the bystanders; but if Sheriff does kill a bystander, the Sheriff dies immediately. However, these same parameters seem to be happening to the Bloxxer also, Why?

I want it to work so if the Sheriff bloxxes someone other (a bystander) than the Mad Bloxxer then the Sheriff dies. I also want the Mad Bloxxer to remain alive even after he destroys a Sheriff in order to destroy the bystanders.

I don't want the Mad Bloxxer to be destroyed when he destroys a Sheriff.

Now here is the suspicious section of code:

function newCharacter(bloxxedPlayer, character) 
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if humanoid then
        humanoid.Died:connect(function()
            if bloxxedPlayer == sheriff then
                humanoid:UnequipTools()
                local backpack = bloxxedPlayer:FindFirstChild("Backpack")
                if backpack then
                    backpack:ClearAllChildren()
                end
                local torso = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
                if torso then
                    dropNetGun(torso.Position)
                end
            end

            -- This section determine whether the person bloxxed was the Mad Bloxxer or a bystander, if the latter then the sheriff dies.
            local tag = humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator")
            if tag and tag.Value and tag.Value.Parent == game.Players then
                if tag ~= bloxxer and bloxxedPlayer ~= bloxxer then
                    print(tag.Value)
                    local wrongDoer = tag.Value
                    if wrongDoer.Character and wrongDoer.Character.Parent then
                        local wrongDoerHumanoid = wrongDoer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
                        if wrongDoerHumanoid then
                            wrongDoerHumanoid.Health = 0
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end)
    end
end

Lines 59-91 contain the code above in the rest of it below.

The problem was line 20.

I was checking for 'tag' instead of 'tag.Value.' I changed 'tag' to 'tag.Value' and it fixed the problem.
