Server script .Died not triggering | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 3:47 PM

#

my server script isnt triggering .Died event. BUT the local script is detecting just fine. AND this is only the case in ONE SPECIFIC SCENARIO.
scenario explained in a comment of mine

#

this part of the script is the scenario im talking about.

#

i have an explosion modulescript (which is the hit) and anything that hits it will go through a whole process. However, before said process, i set the humanoid's health to 0 to trigger the .Died events. and yes this is in a server script.

kind monolith Jul 7, 2025, 3:54 PM

#

just send the whole script

#

wait

#

is it in a local script

#

the died event

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

there are 2

#

1 in local 1 in server

kind monolith Jul 7, 2025, 3:55 PM

#

well u haven’t sent the full code but

#

is the local script inside workspace

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

no

#

startercharacter

#

and the server .Died is in serverscriptserv

#

also sometimes (around 60-70% of the time) my character's parts gets destroyed, i've been trying to find if theres a script responsible for it but couldnt find any

#

if you know whats up with that then please do tell me

#

but i am pretty sure its some jank script running around

kind monolith Jul 7, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

vestal flax i have an explosion modulescript (which is the hit) and anything that hits it wi...

where is .died connected

#

show code

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

kind monolith where is .died connected

the localscript?

#

or the server script?

kind monolith Jul 7, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

u said the local script was fine so

#

the server script

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

alr im guessing ur talking about the kill:Fire()

kind monolith Jul 7, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

is it there ah nvm

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

well i also added a print at some point

#

on the .Died

#

so the problem is actually .Died not triggering

kind monolith Jul 7, 2025, 4:03 PM

#

just wondering whether u destroy the humanoid

#

During the explosion

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

nope

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:09 PM

#

maybe do a remote event if you said it works on client but idk why it doesn't work on server it could be due to an error in explosion mod

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:10 PM

#

oak skiff maybe do a remote event if you said it works on client but idk why it doesn't wo...

it was originally the localscript doing the .died event

#

however the problem is, kills are delayed by the OTHER player's ping

#

so kills could just get delayed or even missing

#

with high enough ping

#

so i need 2 events

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

I think there's a property for explosions called break joints on death and you might need to disable that so it doesn't destroy the parts

#

but then I think you need to program the humanoid being killed

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

the module script doesnt use explosion isntances

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

it doesnt?

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:13 PM

#

its a kill ball basically

#

that just grows and stuff

#

detects for collisions and do its thing

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:13 PM

#

how come you don't include the died logic after the ball kills the player instead of setting up a died event

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

there are other ways to kill the player

#

and setting up all that is just a hassle

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

what if you did wait for child and then the humanoid instead of iterating through the characters children and then checking if it's a humanoid

brave chasmBOT Jul 7, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 1! ** studio

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

not sure how that'd help but sure i'll try it

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

or you could set up your own died event instead of relying on the humanoid

#

like a bindable event

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:22 PM

#

i dont think it changed anything m8

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:22 PM

#

oak skiff like a bindable event

thats basically what you suggested earlier...

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:25 PM

#

is humanoid nil?

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:25 PM

#

in the scenarios the humanoid is present

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:26 PM

#

what about changing state to dead

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:26 PM

#

lemme try that

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:26 PM

#

maybe one script is running before the other

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

quartz jackal maybe one script is running before the other

im guessing thats what the other scenario is caused by

#

however my search for that rogue script was not successful

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

add a .wait() to check or a bunch of prints to debug

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

i tried using that finder tool

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:28 PM

#

quartz jackal add a .wait() to check or a bunch of prints to debug

the prints i've done so far is basically just on the .Died event

#

and i can confirm the problem is that triggering

#

i havent done any other debugging other than that, since im not quite sure what else there is to debug

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:28 PM

#

oak skiff what about changing state to dead

also this didnt work

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

is the .Died running itself

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

and again, humanoid is still present

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

quartz jackal is the .Died running itself

like running randomly?

#

no

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

no like is it js not running

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

wait try plain resetting

#

and see if it fires

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

quartz jackal no like is it js not running

its not running in this specific scenario

#

every other scenario works

#

other explosions, resetting, hitboxes

#

all those works

#

just this scenario

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:30 PM

#

vestal flax this part of the script is the scenario im talking about.

im sure this is the problem

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:30 PM

#

btw man u dont need to loop through the rig to find humanoid

#

could just do WaitForChild

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:30 PM

#

quartz jackal btw man u dont need to loop through the rig to find humanoid

i was going to loop through it anyways

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:30 PM

#

mk

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:30 PM

#

cuz i was going for a hyperlaser hit effect yknow

#

so mind as well (i've changed it to :waitforchild() as par to @oak skiff 's suggestion anyways)

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:31 PM

#

aight calm

#

set dead to true and remove the return end js for debug rq

#

or just add a warn to it

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

commented them out

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

is the .Died not running because of the return end

#

or is it simply not running

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

same result

#

i mean i did comment out the return end so its not that

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:36 PM

#

actually

#

the .Died might be running after ts dead

#

so set dead to true if its alr dead

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:37 PM

#

yeah that was why i added that

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:37 PM

#

no like if
hum.Health <= 0 then dead = true end

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

huh

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

and if its that fails then trigger the humanoid.died

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

what do i do that on a run service?

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

gimme a sec

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

honestly using run service might be smart

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

yh i guess

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

but unideal...

#

would be abit laggier

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

when you use wait for child and get the humanoid is it actually killing it when you set its health to 0?

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

wdym

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

vestal flax this part of the script is the scenario im talking about.

like this part

#

does that actually kill the player

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

if hum.Health == 0 then
  dead = true
else
  print("alr dead vro")

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

yeah

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

quartz jackal ```lua if hum.Health == 0 then dead = true else print("alr dead vro") ```

imma plug this on a rs for testing

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:40 PM

#

check if humanoid is dead already before running

#

.Died

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:40 PM

#

vestal flax imma plug this on a rs for testing

calm

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:40 PM

#

quartz jackal ```lua if hum.Health == 0 then dead = true else print("alr dead vro") ```

how did you format your text like that

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:40 PM

#

codeblocks

#

3 backticks

#

then lua

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

do you need some sort of extension to do that

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

print("hi")

#

nah

#

`

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

oh

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

quartz jackal check if humanoid is dead already before running

huh

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

vestal flax huh

before the .Died function

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:42 PM

#

on the character added event.?

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:42 PM

#

yh

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:43 PM

#

vestal flax huh

if hum.Health <= 0 then
  print("alr dead")

wait mb use this

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:44 PM

#

didnt work

#

oh

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:44 PM

#

srry

#

im bein dum

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:45 PM

#

nothin

#

no print statement or anythin

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:46 PM

#

aight one more then i quit

#

use .Healthchanged

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:46 PM

#

or getchangedpropertysignal?

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:46 PM

#

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        character.AttributeChanged:Connect(function(name)
            print(name)
        end)
    end)
end)

local hit = workspace -- replace
for _, char : Model in hit:GetChildren() do
    if char:IsA("Model") and char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
        char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid").Health = 0
        char:SetAttribute("Dead", true)
    end
end

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:46 PM

#

yea sure

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:47 PM

#

vestal flax or getchangedpropertysignal?

print its hp btw

#

if hp<=0 then
print("is dead twin")

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

sick it works

#

hold on though

#

should i get a .Died event

#

just in case the player dies from something other than health

#

like neck gone or something

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:49 PM

#

yh

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:49 PM

#

if youre going to destroy its neck and interpret it as the player being killed you might as well set the health to 0 after destroying the neck

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:50 PM

#

js check what killed the player

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:50 PM

#

quartz jackal yh

also any idea on whats going on with scenario B?

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:50 PM

#

vestal flax also any idea on whats going on with scenario B?

theres a scenario B

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:50 PM

#

vestal flax also sometimes (around 60-70% of the time) my character's parts gets destroyed, ...

scenario B:

#

i've checked with script finder (keyword : :Destroy()) and nothing showed up

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:50 PM

#

wdym by they get "destroyed"

#

like they disappear

#

or blow up

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:50 PM

#

they're GONE

#

only the limbs

#

humanoid, starter character scripts, they're all there

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

check for debris service

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

wait what

#

you can check debris storage?

kind monolith Jul 7, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

Bro what?

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

no like if you used Debris service

#

check that

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

nothing

#

i never use debris

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

hmmmm

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

what about setting the parent to nil

brave chasmBOT Jul 7, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 2! ** studio

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

oak skiff what about setting the parent to nil

uh?

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

uhhhhhhhhhhh check the children of the rig

#

on death

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

lemme keep testing hold on, cuz after i changed the health property the scneario b seems to not be showing up anymore

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

if their destroyed then ion know

#

else it might be a visual glitc

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

ok scenario b seems to just be gone now??

oak skiff Jul 7, 2025, 4:53 PM

    end)
end)

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

vestal flax ok scenario b seems to just be gone now??

yippee

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

well i guess im not complaining

#

imma set up the .Died now

#

prayign it wont break everything somehow

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:54 PM

#

aight nice

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

alright everything seems to be working fine

#

thx so much man this has caused alot of confusion

quartz jackal Jul 7, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

np

kind monolith Jul 7, 2025, 4:58 PM

#

vestal flax thx so much man this has caused alot of confusion

if u don’t mind explain how u fixed it

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

kind monolith if u don’t mind explain how u fixed it

essentially having an extra healthchanged event

brave chasmBOT Jul 7, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 15! ** studio

vestal flax Jul 7, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

the health was changing but the death aint workin

#

so that works

#

i doubt you'd encounter a similair situation though

outer quiver Jul 7, 2025, 10:18 PM

#

vestal flax this part of the script is the scenario im talking about.

Use humanoid:TakeDamage(amountOfDamage: number) instead of setting it manually

vestal flax Jul 8, 2025, 2:41 AM

#

outer quiver Use humanoid:TakeDamage(amountOfDamage: number) instead of setting it manually

that already is a thing in the explosion script

#

module script*

chrome mantle Jul 8, 2025, 11:02 AM

#

vestal flax my server script isnt triggering .Died event. BUT the local script is detecting ...

You need to re-assign the humanoid and the connection

vestal flax Jul 8, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

uhm the problem was already solved yesterday..

chrome mantle Jul 8, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

Oh

vestal flax Jul 8, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

and it gets reassigned every time the player respawns

chrome mantle Jul 8, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

Mark it as solved then

#Server script .Died not triggering
