connections

[drowsy moat]

how do i make a connection run once, but disable it so it never runs again on that script?

local connection
connection = script.Parent.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
    if(script.Parent.Humanoid.Health < 2500) then
        script.Parent.Head.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true
        halfhp:Play()
        script.Parent["Man Screaming"]:Play()
        D = 2
    end
    connection:Disconnect()
end)

doesnt work

tried putting connection:Disconnect() after ```lua
end)

[wheat cypress]

Does the rest of the code in the connection work fine?

[drowsy moat]

the connection doesnt run either

** You are now Level 2! **

after the humanoid is below 2500 hp, it doesnt run

the connection is outside any functions

[wheat cypress]

And this is a script inside the characters model right?

[drowsy moat]

yes

it is

[wheat cypress]

Well I'd assume so that's what you specified in there

That is probably where it's disconnecting

[drowsy moat]

so what should i do

[wheat cypress]

What are you trying to do exactly?

[drowsy moat]

when the health changes to below 50% (2500 hp), it should start the particles, play the audio, and play the animation

not sure what i did wrong there

[clear sky]

🤭

[wheat cypress]

And it isn't doing anything at all right now?

[drowsy moat]

the connection doesnt run

[wheat cypress]

I just got here and it's 1 in the morning ok 😭

[drowsy moat]

lemme check again

[clear sky]

no, its about him

[drowsy moat]

is it bc im assigning the connection to the connection variable and its not running?

[wheat cypress]

That shouldn't be a problem, I see it done all the time

Let me try writing it out myself rq

[drowsy moat]

kk

[wheat cypress]

Does the formatting work on mobile

[drowsy moat]

its below 2500 hp but still doesnt do the thing

[clear sky]

no

[wheat cypress]

Mk

[drowsy moat]

halfhp:Play() is playing the animation

jsyk

[wheat cypress]

local char = script.Parent; local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local halfhp -- don't know what this is
local con = hum.HealthChanged:Connect(function()
if hum.Health < hum.Health/2 then
print("Under half")
con:Disconnect()
end
end)

OK I kinda skipped out on the content part but I just want to see if this prints before I write the rest out

[drowsy moat]

** You are now Level 1! **

hm wait

local connection
connection = script.Parent.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
    if(script.Parent.Humanoid.Health < script.Parent.Humanoid.Health / 2) then
        script.Parent.Head.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true
        halfhp:Play()
        script.Parent["Man Screaming"]:Play()
        D = 2
        print("Under half")

    end
    connection:Disconnect()
end)

like that?

lemme try now

nope doesnt print "Under half"

[clear sky]

whats the D = 2

[drowsy moat]

delay

delay between attacks

[clear sky]

but for what

[wheat cypress]

I want you to test the code I sent specifically to get an idea if I'm on the right track

[drowsy moat]

after half hp the attacks would be faster

[clear sky]

hes disconnecting it

[drowsy moat]

my discord was weird so thats the only thing i could make out lemme actually do that again

[wheat cypress]

You can probs copy and paste what I sent

It should fornst

Format

[drowsy moat]

it formatted but now it shows this

[clear sky]

it'll format

[drowsy moat]

i deleted the halfhp variable since that doesnt matter after that

i lack the sense called "logic" in the mush called a "brain"

[wheat cypress]

Ah

[clear sky]

you do

[drowsy moat]

do yall need my entire script

[clear sky]

send it rq

like the screenshot

[drowsy moat]

** You are now Level 3! **

its a bad way to do what i did but here

its 162 lines

[clear sky]

this

[drowsy moat]

i cant screenshot all of it

[wheat cypress]

local char = script.Parent; local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local halfhp -- don't know what this is
local con
con = hum.HealthChanged:Connect(function()
if hum.Health < hum.Health/2 then
print("Under half")
con:Disconnect()
end
end)

Aha

[drowsy moat]

ill copy paste this

now lemme try

nothing was printed

[clear sky]

cuz hp aint 2500 or less

[drowsy moat]

it was

max hp is 5000 and i hit it until it was clearly below half

nothing got printed

[wheat cypress]

Interesting

My go to strategy is to just add a debug message every line until I find the problem but that's probably not best

[drowsy moat]

is HealthChanged a function?

[drowsy moat]

162 lines 😎

lemme debug each line one by one

🗿

[wheat cypress]

Last I checked it was, of the humanoid st least

[drowsy moat]

oh yeah it was

it autocompleted it

but i still dont get whats wrong

[wheat cypress]

Just add a debug between every line of the code I sent for now and find the exact point it breaks, that's probably the most effective way even if it's time consuming

[drowsy moat]

the rest of the scripts works jsyk

so its probably just that part

[wheat cypress]

Which is why you only need to debug that part

[drowsy moat]

ye and it seems normal

i dont see why it wouldnt work
