Is there a way to reduce player health damage when blocking?

So I to make my character block any attacks or damages he encounters by pressing Q and when it blocks, it'll play a little animation and start to block for a limited amount. But I don't know how to make the player reduce health damage when some sort of an enemy NPC decides to attack you. I don't want to add health onto player.

I feel like some games know how to block but there were no tutorials, so I tried to do it with a shield script, but didn't work anyways fr2013 88 — 6y

One way you could go about doing this (and I'm not sure if this is the most efficient, but rather a way to do it for now until you can come back to it with more knowledge), is putting a 'BoolValue' inside of the player model called "Blocking". When the player holds "Q", simply change the value to true. Clearly that doesn't help alone, but if you added an if statement to your damage script that checks "if hit.Parent.Blocking then do less damage" I think it could work quite well.

Tell me how this works out, I don't have access to studio right now but I'm very curious to see if this method works like I'm imagining it to.

Hope I helped!

so the humanoid has a health changed function i believe; we can find the amount of changed health, divide by 2 and restore it back to the player. However, since health can only be changed using server scripts well have to use 2 scripts:

in a Script in StarerPack:

1local hp01 = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", script)
2hp01.Name = "hp01"
3 
4hp01.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, hum, hp04)
5    hum.Health = hum.Health + hp04 / 2
6end)

in a LocalScript in the Script:

01local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
03 
04local holding = false
05 
06local hp01 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("hp01")
07 
08mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
09    if key == "q" then holding = true
10        local hum = plr.Character.Humanoid
11 
12        while holding do
13            local hp02 = hum.Health
14 
15            wait()
16            local hp03 = hum.Health
17 
18            if hp02 > hp03 then
19                local hp04 = hp02 - hp03
20                hp01:FireServer(hum, hp04)
21            end
22        end
23    end
24end)
25 
26mouse.KeyUp:Connect(function(key)
27    if key == "q" then holding = false end
28end)

also i ended up not using the health changed function and just wrote a function which checks for change(specifically decrease) in health. That way its much more easier to check for the exact amount of decrease for, e.g, consecutive damage.

He said he doesn't want to add health back to the player (not sure if he meant while blocking or after taking damage, but figured I should let you know before you write that script out) cmgtotalyawesome 1418 — 6y

Well it does kinda work but whenever I sometimes let go of the "q", it'll make the health full, but I need my character with his original low health fr2013 88 — 6y

ok after some editing i wasnt able to replicate ur result. Ill post the new script in above; also could u see wether u could do that with the new scripts? TheluaBanana 946 — 6y
