I used .Died to detect when I kill an AI but it isn't working?

if game.Workspace.Enemies.Dark5.Zombie.Died == true then

As long as there is a humanoid in your Zombie, you actually will want to use the died as shown below. See what happens is when a humanoid dies anything you connect to that died event will trigger and that'show we will listen to when the humanoid dies.

    local zombies = {}
    local function setupZombie(Zombie)
        local humanoid = Zombie:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        if (not zombies[Zombie]) and humanoid then
            zombies[Zombie] = {Zombie,humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
                -- Anything in here will run when the zombie dies
                -- When it dies make sure to remove it from the table
                if zombies[Zombie] then
                    zombies[Zombie] [1]:Destroy() -- Destroy automatically will disconnect()
                    zombies[Zombie] = nil -- Set the zombie index to nil so no memory 
                end
            end)}
        end
    end

    for i,zombie in pairs(game.Workspace.Enemies:GetChildren()) do
        setupZombie(zombie) -- This will loop every zombie into the function to set it up
    end

I just woke up to who this may concern, I kind of winged this one.

If this helped you I would greatly appreciate an upvote or solved. Good luck!

hang on, I'm a little lost, I think you thought that Zombie was the enemy, Dark5 is the enemy and Zombie is the humanoid, I tried to fix this but am not a great scripter, I don't really get the in pairs part zomspi 541 — 5y

Syn above is correct in using died, and the more clunky way is to do health like so:

if script.Parent.Humanoid.Health <= 0 then

But that is slower and usually requires a while loop whereas the :died() connection does not because it listens for the death.
