How do I make an accessory worn using AddAccessory stay after death?

I have a button set up so whenever you press it, it fires a remote event to add the accessory in question. How do I make it stay if a player dies?

Use a function to check if the Humanoid as died, once they did, add the hat back onto the character.

Do you have an example I could go off of?

you’ll have to add the accessory every time the player respawns.

what I’d do is have a value that tells the game what the player’s accessory is, and when the player’s character is added, the accessory gets added to the character, something like:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		local theAccessory = player:WaitForChild("theAccessoryPlayerIsWearing")
		if theAccessory.Value ~= "" then
			--add the accessory
		end
	end)
end)

– Server Script

local Players = game:GetService('Players')

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
			-- Add the accessory on.
		end)
	end)
end)

So if i put this in the script that only activates from a remote event would it still give the accessory whenever a player simply joins?

The playeradded function is only to get the player and character, but if you using a remote event (I will write some code).

Yeah, you don’t want every player accessing these hats, only the one who previously equipped them.

this should work if you follow the instructions:

game.ReplicatedStorage.ExampleRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, accessory) --change "ExampleRemote" to your remote name, and "game.ReplicatedStorage" to wherever its located
	local theAccessory = player:WaitForChild("accessoryEquipped",1)
	if theAccessory then
		
		--put your add accessory code here
		
		theAccessory.Value = accessory --make sure "accessory" is a string; when you fire the remote, make sure you pass the accessory's NAME as the argument
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local theAccessory = Instance.new("StringValue", player) --adds the value
	theAccessory.Name = "accessoryEquipped"
	
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		if theAccessory.Value ~= "" then
			--add the accessory
		end
	end)
end)

– Server

local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("remote")

Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	print("Died")
	-- Add back the hat
end)

– Client

local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("remote")

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local Hatequipped = true

local function Died()
	if Hatequipped then 
		Remote:FireServer(Player)
	end
end

Player.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(Died)

Of course the boolean would not be true right away since the hat never was equipped. However, you get the point.
