# How to kill Players With Scripts ## How to kill Players With Scripts Use the `Damage Player` node, making sure to apply enough damage to kill the player. This can be reliably achieved by reading the players health/shields, adding them together, multiplying that by 2 (to smooth any edge cases), and then applying that value as damage. Alternatively, the `Delete Object` node will delete the player's biped and register a death for them, putting them into the respawning state and causing them to respawn if their spawns are not blocked. As this deletes their biped, their ragdoll will disappear, jarringly. **Contributors** Captain Punch --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
