How can I make a script that makes an avatar's appearance change depending on health?
I've tried this script here:
wait(1)
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
game:GetService("ServerStorage")
while true do
if player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health==75 then
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:AddAccessory(game.ServerStorage.GreyHair)
wait(5)
else
print("nope")
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:AddAccessory(game.ServerStorage.GreyHair)
wait(5)
end
end
But I get errors saying that 'GreyHair' is not a valid member of ServerStorage. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? Note: I would like to just change the hair and face of the character. Thank you!

The error: First things first, the error is caused because ServerStorage is not accessible from LocalScripts; it can only be reached by the server. Instead, put your hair in ReplicatedStorage, as this is visible to both the server and the client (hence replicated).
That while loop:
With that error fixed, your code will run. However, there is a better way to keep check of the player's health than routinely running while true, as this isn't ideal for performance. A better option if GetPropertyChangedSignal. This is a function that will be called when the given property of an instance changes, i.e. it'll allow you to know exactly when the player's health changes:
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local greyHair = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GreyHair")
local humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid
local function onHeathChange()
if player.Character.Humanoid.Health == 75 then
-- whatever it is you do, adding the grey hair or whatever
else
-- if it's not 75
end
end
humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(onHeathChange)
This script works by running the function onHealthChange whenever the player's health changes. This is much better than using while true do to check the player's health.

or make this server sided so everyone else can see the change too
put the hair in server storage
server script
game.ReplicatedStorage.accessory.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,accessory) if player.Character.Humanoid.Health == 75 then--makes it so it cant be exploited player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAccessory(game.ServerStorage.GreyHair) end end)
local script
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
ïf game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health == 75 then
game.ReplicatedStorage.accessory:FireServer()
end
end)
and ofcourse add a remote event in replicated storage called accessory unless u want to call it something else, if so change the script to that name
