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?
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?
I even switched the code in the event to print'working' but it didn't print anything. Something's wrong with it...
This is bad practice. You should use the Character property of the Player object.
Also, what if https://www.roblox.com/users/1348586/profile joins the game? Will they not be able to play D:
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)

You can force break a players joins in a local script which will cause the player to die
I edited your title so that it doesnt sound like suicide. Kaythxbye.
