Killing a player with a script

[hybrid saddle]

i have been trying to make a script that once you step on a part it puts you in a team and respawns you but for some reason player:LoadCharachter() and Humanoid.Health = 0 doesn't work even if it's a server script and not a local script

[mellow isle]

So you want to kill the player, right?

[hybrid saddle]

well

not exactly kill him

i jsut want him to respawn

[mellow isle]

You could teleport him to where it will respawn or kill him and it will respawn

!rank

[hybrid saddle]

teleporting wont work

and i cant kill a player when hes in a lobby

i said i need a way to respwan him

not to teleport

[wide marten]

is this server script

[hybrid saddle]

yes

[wide marten]

try take damage method

[hybrid saddle]

and what is that

[wide marten]

humanoid:TakeDamage(9999)

[hybrid saddle]

ohhh

ok

ill try

allso how do i reference the chrachter in a server script

cus there is no LocalPlayer in a server script

[mellow isle]

But thats killing him, something that I said and he told he doesnt want that

[wide marten]

bruh i cant read

[mellow isle]

Depends on your script

[hybrid saddle]

no i said i want that

[mellow isle]

As long as you have the player you can easily get the character by just looking for the model

[wide marten]

he says respawn

[hybrid saddle]

bruh in a script

[wide marten]

Player.Character

[mellow isle]

Yea, in a script

[hybrid saddle]

in a local script its Player.LocalPlayer.Charachter

[mellow isle]

Oh yea, I guess it can use that too

[wide marten]

in server script its Player.Character

[hybrid saddle]

k thanks

[mellow isle]

mind blowing

[hybrid saddle]

didnt work

idk if theres a bug or im just stupid

[mellow isle]

Humanoid.Health = 0

[hybrid saddle]

bro i tried that

[mellow isle]

Any error in output?

[hybrid saddle]

let me check

[mellow isle]

Hold up

[wide marten]

spelling error

[wide marten]

local function respawn(part)
  part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid):TakeDamage(999)
end

touchpart.Touched:Connect(respawn)

[mellow isle]

You forgot to close ""

[hybrid saddle]

i fixed that

[cunning anvil]

** You are now Level 5! **

[mellow isle]

But you should check if part is a child of a model

[hybrid saddle]

dw

[hybrid saddle]

gah damn finnaly it works

thank you so much

[wide marten]

np

[mellow isle]

local function respawn(part)
  local char = part.Parent
  if not char then return end

  local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
  if not hum then return end

  hum:TakeDamage(999)
end

touchpart.Touched:Connect(respawn)

[hybrid saddle]

can i use a , to connect another local fucnction

[mellow isle]

This way you will not encounter any issue

[hybrid saddle]

dw it allready works

thanks for helping

[mellow isle]

If any other part that is not an child of player's model touch that, it will cause you an error, better safe than sorry

[hybrid saddle]

alright

[wide marten]

no

[mellow isle]

function onRespawn()
  --code
end

function onTouch(part)
  local char = part.Parent
  if not char then return end

  local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
  if not hum then return end

  hum:TakeDamage(999)
  onRespawn()
end

touchpart.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

You could do something like this

[hybrid saddle]

oh that works too

didnt think abt that

thanks

Thank you so much @wide marten and @mellow isle

wait

wth

[mellow isle]

You're welcome

[hybrid saddle]

didnt work

[mellow isle]

What happened?

Show the code

[wide marten]

ontouched function takes an argument

[hybrid saddle]

and how do i fix it

and how does it even take an argument

if its on another line

[wide marten]

onTouched(otherPart) the otherpart is the argument

[mellow isle]

You should add in () the part variable

[hybrid saddle]

ohhh

ok

wait what

im so confused

[mellow isle]

function onRespawn(otherpart)
  print(otherPart)
end

function onTouch(part)
  local char = part.Parent
  if not char then return end

  local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
  if not hum then return end

  hum:TakeDamage(999)
  onRespawn(part)
end

touchpart.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

[hybrid saddle]

gah damn it finnaly works

everything works

thank you so much man

[mellow isle]

Here is an example:

function func2(i)
  print("Function 2: "..i)
end

function func1(n)
  print("Function 1: "..n)
  func2(n)
end
func1("Hi There")

[mellow isle]

;compile

[latent wasp]

Program Output

Function 1: Hi There
Function 2: Hi There

avgcrazyblue#0000 | lua | lua-5.4.3 | wandbox.org

[hybrid saddle]

but why does everything change when you type in the (n) for example

[mellow isle]

At which line?

[hybrid saddle]

and if you keep it empty

[hybrid saddle]

when its the func2(n)

im just wondering

like its not in my code im just wondering why is there a big difference between keeping it empty or typing something there

[wide marten]

the function takes in an argument

[mellow isle]

;compile

function func2(i)
  i += 1
  print("Function 2: "..i)
end

function func1(n)
  n += 1
  print("Function 1: "..n)
  func2(n)
end
func1(1)

-------------

function func2_new()
  print("Function 2: empty")
end

function func1_new(n)
  n += 1
  print("Function 1: "..n)
  func2_new()
end
func1_new(1)

[mellow isle]

shit, I fucked up with the syntax, I write it in Discord lol

ah yes, same name functions, Im smart

[hybrid saddle]

k

[mellow isle]

Ok Im sad now, wait a sec

[hybrid saddle]

im just wondering cus im new to scripting

i hope you get happier lol

[mellow isle]

When I will show you an example that actually work lol

nvm, its working...

Looks like the compile bot is just dumb

[hybrid saddle]

k it makes sence now

thanks

[mellow isle]

Hope so, Im not that good at teaching and/or explaining

[hybrid saddle]

and im not good at learning
