I know there is a humanoid died event, but what would I do if I wanted to put that in an if statement. Would I do for example... local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local char = player.Character if char.Humanoid.Died then print("hi") end or if not, what can I do if I want to do something like this.

What? So you just want to check if the player's character is dead? Just check if the Health property of their Humanoid is zero or less.

local dead = false char.Humanoid.Died:connect(function() dead = true end) wait(3) if dead then print("hi") end

@UFAIL2 that's pointless, the dead value won't reassign when they become alive and the value will always stay at "dead" regardless of what happens if you're going to do something like that, it'd be 1000x easier to just put what you need inside of the died event

ya so i have a table of all the players and what i want to do is remove the player from the table if they die, so is the best way to do this just by checking if the player's health is at 0?

char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function() --code end) char.Humanoid.Changed:Connect(function() if char.Humanoid.Health == 0 then --code end end) ona those two should work #Strikin'

@swimmaster07 just use the Died event and remove them from the table then: --assuming char is defined at the Character char.Humanoid.Died:connect(function() for i,plr in pairs(playersAlive) do --assuming your table is named "playersAlive" if (plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()) == char then -- Assuming the table stores the actual "Player" and not the Character or a string value of their name table.remove(playersAlive, i); end end end)

@ElectoStriking Your second example should be using .HealthChanged, not .Changed. It's also unnecessary to do that considering it would fire every time the player loses or regenerates health. Just using the Died event is fine.
