How to make a NPC destroy itself after being killed?
My problem
I'm trying to make a NPC destroy itself after being killed by a player, I put a Humanoid into the dummy, after that I put a server scriptinto that dummy too, and this is a code inside:
local dummy = script.Parent
while true do
if dummy.Humanoid.Health == 0 then
wait(5) -- destroy after 5 secs
dummy:Destroy()
end
wait(5) -- script cooldown
end
The output give me no error
I played the game, kill the dummy, and he still there after 5 secs, i don't know why.
Hope you guys help me.

you need to listen to the died event of the humanoid..
so assume this script is in the NPC it's self, then the following code should work..
script.Parent.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
print("NPC has died")
script.Parent:Destroy()
end)
Improvements
Use WaitForChild() to make sure an instance exists before using it
Use GetPropertyChangedSignal() to check if the health is changed rather than using a loop
You may not be changing the health to exactly 0, so use <= instead of ==
Important Notes
Make sure the Humanoid's MaxHealth property and Health property are set above 0
Revised Server Script
local dummy = script.Parent
local human = dummy:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
human.GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
if human.Health <= 0 then
dummy:Destroy()
end
end)
