Why is Humanoid.Health is returning the max health instead of the current health?
I'm trying to make a custom health bar for my enemy NPC. There is a Frame inside of a screenGUI representing the enemy health. The Humanoid for the enemy named "StalinCat" is called enemy. Here's my script.
01 | local enemy = game.Workspace.StalinCat.Enemy |
02 | local frame = script.Parent |
03 |
04 | local function onHealthChanged() |
05 | local percent = enemy.Health/enemy.MaxHealth |
06 | frame.Size = UDim2.new(0,percent*554,0,7) |
07 | print("Health = ", enemy.Health) |
08 | print("MaxHealth = ", enemy.MaxHealth) |
09 | end |
10 | enemy.Changed:Connect(onHealthChanged) |
11 | onHealthChanged() |
When I damage the enemy, the health bar does not change. Only when the enemy is dead does the health bar become zero. I tried printing out the enemy's health and max health while I was debugging, both of them output 44(The max health), even when the enemy was damaged.
What am I doing wrong? `

I recommend using HealthChanged which is an event for a Humanoid that fires each time the Humanoid's health changes. I also recommend using the current health parameter of HealthChanged which contains the new Humanoid.Health value of the enemy.
01 | local enemy = game.Workspace.StalinCat.Enemy |
02 | local frame = script.Parent |
03 |
04 | local function onHealthChanged(currentHealth) |
05 | local percent = currentHealth/enemy.MaxHealth |
06 | frame.Size = UDim2.new(0, percent*554, 0, 7) --I don't exactly see why you're multiplying the percentage by 554, but I'll just leave it here and allow you to edit it to fit your frame. |
07 | --Either way, i recommend you using the first and third values of UDim2.new (xScale and yScale). As they are used to let the GUI scale to the player's screen resolution |
08 | print("Health = ", currentHealth) |
09 | print("MaxHealth = ", enemy.MaxHealth) |
10 | end |
11 |
12 | enemy.HealthChanged:Connect(onHealthChanged) |

Thank you for your response! I replaced my code with yours, however, I'm getting the same issue. The healthchanged event is not firing when I am clearly damaging the enemy, and the onHealthChanged function doesn't run. totoisdog2003 0 — 5y

That code works for me, maybe it's because the script can't find a Humanoid named "Enemy" in "StalinCat". Try using WaitForChild on the Enemy Humanoid. Godlydeathdragon 227 — 5y
