Hi! I wanna make a flashlight stay with you after you die, but whenever you die it seems to go away.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local char = player.Character

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

local run = game:GetService("RunService")

local PlayerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

local FlashlightGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Flashlight")

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local Con = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

local REPSTOR = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local VMS = REPSTOR:WaitForChild("Viewmodels")

local equip = false

local ison = false

local holdingFlashlight = false

-- Changeable Settings
------------------------ 
local FlashlightKey = "F"

local brightness = 0.7

local range = 40

local shadowson = false
------------------------

player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
	holdingFlashlight = true
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.pickUpFlashlight.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	holdingFlashlight = true
end)

repeat
	wait()
until holdingFlashlight == true

local maincf = CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)  

	
	
	equip = true
	arms = VMS:WaitForChild("v_FlashlightV2"):Clone()

	arms.HumanoidRootPart.SpotLight.Brightness = brightness
	arms.HumanoidRootPart.SpotLight.Range = range
	arms.HumanoidRootPart.SpotLight.Shadows = shadowson

	arms.Parent = cam
	arms.Name = "Arms"
	

	
	run.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		if equip == true and arms then
			arms:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(
				cam.CFrame
				* maincf

				

			)
			


		end
	end)
	


UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[FlashlightKey] and equip == true then
		if ison == true then
			ison = false
			arms.HumanoidRootPart.SpotLight.Enabled = false
			FlashlightGui.FlashlightOn.Visible = false
			FlashlightGui.FlashlightOff.Visible = true
			arms.HumanoidRootPart.Flashlightss:Play()
			

		else
			ison = true
			arms.HumanoidRootPart.SpotLight.Enabled = true
			FlashlightGui.FlashlightOff.Visible = false
			FlashlightGui.FlashlightOn.Visible = true
			arms.HumanoidRootPart.Flashlightss:Play()
			

		end
	end
end)


local de = true
function onButtonPress()
	if de == true and equip == true then
		de = false
		if ison == true then
			ison = false
			arms.HumanoidRootPart.SpotLight.Enabled = false
			FlashlightGui.FlashlightOn.Visible = false
			FlashlightGui.FlashlightOff.Visible = true
			arms.HumanoidRootPart.Flashlightss:Play()


		else
			ison = true
			arms.HumanoidRootPart.SpotLight.Enabled = true
			FlashlightGui.FlashlightOff.Visible = false
			FlashlightGui.FlashlightOn.Visible = true
			arms.HumanoidRootPart.Flashlightss:Play()

		end
		
		wait(.75)
		de = true
	end
end


Con:SetImage("FlashLight", "rbxassetid://2883826635")	

Con:BindAction("FlashLight",onButtonPress,true,"F")



	
--[[ game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
	equip = false
	ison = false
	arms:Destroy()
	
end) ]]--

This is my entire script (Taken from a tutorial)

I have tried to comment out the last part that disables it when you die, but for some reason it’s still being disabled when you die. Can someone help me?

Loop it into Player.CharacterAdded event

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
      Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character) -- runs everytime character is added
           --code here
     end)
end)

That didn’t seem to work I added it to this part should I have put it somewhere else?

is this a localscript? and is it in a gui that doesn’t reset on spawn?

This is a localscript in StarterCharacterScripts should I move it elsewhere?
