Why can't i make the health less when the player touches it?i need to set the health or it wont work
setting the health by using "health ="
The code:
1 | local Above = script.Parent |
2 |
3 | Above.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
4 | if above:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
5 | Character.Health - 10 |

Hello!
Lua numbers and strings are immutable - meaning they cannot be changed by doing something like this:
1 | local number = 10; |
2 | number - 5; -- Still 10 |
3 | print(number) --> 10 |
1 | local number = 10; |
2 |
3 | number = number - 5; -- Now it's 5 |
4 | print(number) --> 5 |
But with Roblox you can use an alternative method called :TakeDamage(damage) on the Humanoid object directly. Example below:
01 | local Touchpart = script.Parent; |
02 | local damage = 10; |
03 |
04 | Touchpart.Touched:Connect( function (hit) |
05 | local foundHumanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"); |
06 |
07 | if foundHumanoid then |
08 | foundHumanoid:TakeDamage(damage); |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
This will check if the object that touched the part has a humanoid and then damage the humanoid 10.
I hope this helped :D

Assuming that Character is a player's Character (or nil), it won't work. Characters don't have a Health property; Humanoids do. Fix:
1 | local Above = script.Parent |
2 | Above.Touched:Connect(function() |
3 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Above) |
4 | if player then |
5 | player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0 |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
