How can i loop this health depleting script?

Asked Aug 12, 2017224 views2 answers

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.

You have to remove the healing script form player

humanoid.Parent.Health:Destroy() -- this will remove the healing effect

Thanks but when i put this in the script, it only depletes health one time. do i need to put in a seperate script?

Add this script to StarterPlayer -> StarterCharacterScripts

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

You have to replace the loop code with humanoid.Parent.Health:Destroy() this one.

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

Try making the

repeat until i<1

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

If this helped you, dont forget to accept the answer
