Death Message Script Help Needed

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hm, what type of script are you using, and what is its parent.

#23

I did exactly what they said, local script in startercharacterscripts.

These are my results using the code I have in my OP.

#25

Are there any errors in the out put

you should probably add a wait

on the while loop

#26

You shouldn’t use a loop for this to begin with. Events exist for a reason.

#27

Take a look.

#28

He would make the text appear on an event when the humanoid died or the player

not a while loop

#29

Alright thanks for providing me a website that allows me to do this. Except there is no requirement for me to use extra programs for recording

#30

Thats literally what @xZylter proposed.

#31

remember this code?

local DeathMessages = {"Death Message 1","Death Message 2","Death Message 3"}

local LOCAL_PLAYER = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

LOCAL_PLAYER.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
		LOCAL_PLAYER.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Enabled = true
LOCAL_PLAYER.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = DeathMessages[math.random(1,#DeathMessages)]
		
	end)
end)

make sure you make this visible before you set it

#32

It would work in both ways… The ScreenGui doesn’t needs to be Enabled for you to change its properties.

#33

Still doesn’t work. ----------------------

#34

Can you send us images of the properties of the ScreenGUI and TextLabel?

Sure ----------------------------------

Its descendants too, more likely.

Adding to @xZylter’s code:

local DeathMessages = {"Death Message 1","Death Message 2","Death Message 3"}
local Connection --> It will let us manage better out RbxScriptSignal

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer



--> Will dispare every time a new character is added to Player.Character
LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	local ScreenGui = LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")

	--> Here we can save our RbxScriptSignal to Disconnect it later
	Connection = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
		ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = DeathMessages[math.random(1, #DeathMessages)]
		ScreenGui.Enabled = true
		
		--> Turning all descendants of ScreenGui to Visible = true
		for _, Object in pairs(ScreenGui:GetDescendants()) do
			if Object:IsA("GuiBase") then
				Object.Visible = true
			end
		end

		--> Let's disconnect the function now?
		Connection:Disconnect()
	end)
end)

Added a :Disconnect to avoid Untracked Memory, and turned all descendants of ScreenGui to Visible = true, just for sure.

Pretty weird, i actually used xZylter’s code and it worked just fine!

Don’t mind the tools…

#40

I think your script has an error with the Connection.

Nevermind I used your script before the edit

#41

None of these are working for me. I wonder what I am doing wrong.
