[FilteringEnabled] How to kill my own character?
How do I kill my own character with Filtering Enabled using RemoteEvents?
In the gui button, I did this:
(it's in a localscript)
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage.events.killSelf:FireServer()
end)
Then in the event, I put this:
(normal script)
local healthplayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
script.Parent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player)
healthplayer.Health = 0
end)
Why won't it do anything when I click the button though?

You can force break a players joins in a local script which will cause the player to die User#5423 17 — 6y

game.Players.LocalPlayer
server scripts cannot access local player. To counter this, we grab the character using the players name.
local healthplayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
script.Parent.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player)
local healthplayer = game.Workspace[player.Name].Humanoid
healthplayer.Health = 0
end)

For some reason this still won't work. Is it anything to do with clicking the GUI button? SimpleArrows -5 — 6y

I even switched the code in the event to print'working' but it didn't print anything. Something's wrong with it... SimpleArrows -5 — 6y

This is bad practice. You should use the Character property of the Player object. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y

This should work because you didn't call the event in the serverscript, and it already calls the player within the function
LOCAL SCRIPT
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.events.killSelf
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
Event:FireServer()
end)
SERVER SCRIPT
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage.events.killSelf
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
end)

kingdom5 already provided a better solution, although he misspelled "joints". You don't need a normal script to kill the local player. It can be done so like this in the LocalScript:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:BreakJoints()
end)
