Try Humanoid.Died event instead https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/event/Humanoid/Died Block_manvn 395 — 4y

Greetings, thank you for your post on Scripting Helpers.

Problem:

Your script is probably located in the incorrect place, if it is in StarterPlayer, you should move it to StarterCharacter. In StarterPlayer is will only run when you join.

How to solve:

Put the script in StarterCharacter.

Hope this works, -ecoszns

That is Server Script, I guess... Because why he use PlayerAdded event to get Player instance when he can use LocalPlayer(Which is can only work for LocalScript). Block_manvn 395 — 4y

I see what the problem is. After the CharacterAdded function, add a wait(2) as a cooldown for the character and its children to load in. Like this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
 plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
    wait(2) -- cooldown
    if char.Humanoid.Health < 1 then
        plr.data.tp.Value = 0
    end
end)
end)

This error happens many times. You can't detect the health of the humanoid if it hasn't loaded in yet.
