Best Way to avoid negative health on a Zombie/Humanoid?

Asked by

So I'm trying to make a model appear when a zombie dies to delete it and have it explode the code I am using is this


health = script.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
debounce = false
local self = script.Parent:clone()

while true do
    wait(0.1)
    if (health.Health == 0) then 
        if (debounce == true) then return end
        debounce = true
        wait(1)
        t = game.Lighting.Part:Clone()
        t.Parent = game.Workspace
        wait(10)
        t:remove()
        local clone = self:clone()
        clone.Parent = game.Workspace
        clone:MakeJoints()
        script.Parent:remove()
    end
end

and I've tried changing it to the negatives I've been getting but that hasn't worked so I want a way to avoid negative health

If you are using a Humanoid, you should not have issues with negative values for health because the Humanoid should round all negatives up to 0. alphawolvess 1784 — 5y

Use "math.clamp." Math.clamp will set the first argument to the third argument if it's greater than the third argument, and it will set the first argument to the second argument if it's below the second argument. Otherwise, it will return the first argument. This will also work with decimals.

Usage: math.clamp(valueToClamp, minValue, maxValue)

How to use:

print(math.clamp(5, 0, 36)) --returns 5
print(math.clamp(-5, 0, 36)) --returns 0
print(math.clamp(37, 0, 36)) --returns 36

In your case, you should set the maxValue to the zombie's max health.

local sign = math.sign(health.Health)
if sign == -1 then health.Health = 0 
elseif sign == 0 then -- code
else --[[ This if the Humanoid Health has not died yet. --]]
-- code
end

-- This will get your Health and return -1 if it exits natural order.
-- ...and 0 for neutral, 1 for natural.
