Death Counter gui

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a gui count the entire servers deaths on a text label but this script isn’t working. The script is in a text label but when a player dies nothing shows up.

Counter = 0
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local hum = char:WaitForChild(‘Humanoid’)
hum.Died:Connect(function()
Counter = Counter + 1
script.Parent.Text = Counter
end)
end)
end)

is this a server script or a local script?

#4

there is no difference between putting the players services variable or not putting it.
won’t change anything.

#5

It’s a server script not a local script.

If you’re trying to count how many times a player died you can use this script:

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local playerDeaths = {}

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    playerDeaths[player] = 0
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
            playerDeaths[player] += 1
           -- rest of script
        end)
    end)
end)

  1. Does your GUI have ResetOnSpawn set to false or true?
  2. You should use the script above, which is in my opinion better and should work perfect.

Do I need to have a leaderstat to use this?

#11

No not at all. it does not use any values but a table instead.

1 . Create A ServerScript in ServerScriptService.
2 . Create A RemoteEvent.
3 . Set ResetOnSpawn OFF for the ScreenGui.

-- ServerScript
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
Counter += 1
game.ReplicatedStorage.YourRemoteEvent:FireClient(plr,Counter)
end)
end)
end)
-- LocalScript
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
game.ReplicatedStorage.YourRemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Counter)
script.Parent.Text = Counter
end)

he wants it to count the entire server deaths.

#14

That’s what it’s doing? It counts for every player death.

#15

The script will do that, it’s a script on the server?

that will be for an individual player, not for the whole server.

What i meant Is, everytime “A Player Dies” it will add +1 to the counter.
the entire server deaths.

Yes I want this to happen I’m following the steps you gave me right now.

#20

It will +1 to that “specific players” counter if that person dies, not anyone else.

Yes that is true.
A player dies
Server picks it up
It adds a number to playerdeaths table
and so it goes on…
It will only count for one player if it is a localscript using game.Players.LocalPlayer.
