Referring to line 46 loop.

#

it's running once because that's just simply how scripts work. they only run once.

#

you have no functions, no api events, nothing that would call into your script. you have the function bodies already (the code that actually does the stuff), but no code to put those functions in context. like if you wanted to react to the changes in an enemies health, you might use humanoid:getpropertychangedsignal("health") for example, which you can find in the docs. the docs are your friend Thumbs http://wiki.roblox.com

while enemyHealth <= 100 do

and
```lua
while enemyHealth <= 0 do
    task.wait(0.5)
    enemyHealth = enemyHealth + 1```

#

you compare <= less than or equal to, and then subtract. that doesn't seem right. did you mean to write while health >=0 do health -= damage end?

#

or just flip the signs?

grim dome
#

not familiar with the -= operator

nocturne vine
#

change the -damage to +damage and enemyhealth +1 to -1? but i think you meant the first

nocturne vine
#

just shorthand for this common operation

#

exclusive to roblox luau Thumbs

#

it doesnt exist in native lua.

#

and i mean if you really want to go the distance, you should be looking for humanoid:takedamage and humanoid.health, but you do everything with variables, idk did chatgpt write this?
