I am a newbie to scripting, and I am having trouble looping the script Azarth helped me with. I have tried many times with different types of loops, but nothing happens. I am stuck and have asked for help on the forums but nobody responded so I would appreciate help.

for i=1, 10 do
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local depletionAmount = 10

repeat until i<1
local function healthDeplete()
    local currentHealth = humanoid.Health
    -- wait(1)
    local newHealth = currentHealth - depletionAmount
    humanoid.Health = newHealth  
end 

healthDeplete()

Hi.

while true do
    humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health - depletionAmount

    wait()
end

while true loop will never end unless script was removed (EDIT: or command break was used)

Also it's not necessary to make local newHealth and currentHealth. You can directly interact with humanoid health.

No, that is false that while true loops do not stop. You can use break. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

You have to remove the healing script form player deris88 146 — 6y

humanoid.Parent.Health:Destroy() -- this will remove the healing effect deris88 146 — 6y

Thanks but when i put this in the script, it only depletes health one time. do i need to put in a seperate script? jakobgomez6 -3 — 6y

Add this script to StarterPlayer -> StarterCharacterScripts deris88 146 — 6y

The script is already in that folder, do i need to put it in a specific part of the script? Also thanks for putting up with my newbie questions jakobgomez6 -3 — 6y

You have to replace the loop code with humanoid.Parent.Health:Destroy() this one. deris88 146 — 6y

what do you mean by loop code? the while true do humanoid.health = humanoid. health - depletionAmount wait() end? jakobgomez6 -3 — 6y

I messaged you, go check your inbox ;P deris88 146 — 6y

Try making the

repeat until i<1

into a different form of loop, or make the function non-local
