I made a music script and I want it to the current song playing to pause when a player dies, and then resume when a player respawns. However, it pauses and then starts a new song when the player respawns. Some of it I used Chatgpt to make btw. Any help?

Here’s my local script:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

-- RS handling
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local mscEvent = rs:WaitForChild("MusicEvent")

-- Gui Handling
local plrgui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local MusicGui = plrgui:WaitForChild("MusicGui")
local MusicFrame = MusicGui:WaitForChild("MusicFrame")

local StopPlaybtn = MusicFrame:WaitForChild("StopPlayButton")
local mscName = MusicFrame:WaitForChild("MusicName")

local soundservice = game:GetService("SoundService")
local musicPlaylist = soundservice:WaitForChild("MusicPlaylist"):GetChildren()

local stop = false
local playingSong = nil
local lastSongTime = 0  -- To keep track of where the song left off

-- Function to toggle music play/pause
local function toggleMusic()
	stop = not stop  -- Toggle stop state

	if stop and playingSong then
		lastSongTime = playingSong.TimePosition
		playingSong:Pause()
		StopPlaybtn.Text = "Resume"
	else
		StopPlaybtn.Text = "Stop"
		if playingSong then
			playingSong.TimePosition = lastSongTime
			playingSong:Play()
		end
	end
end

-- Toggle stop and play states on button click
StopPlaybtn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(toggleMusic)

-- Function to handle music playback
local function playMusic()
	while true do
		if #musicPlaylist > 0 then
			if not stop then
				playingSong = musicPlaylist[math.random(1, #musicPlaylist)]
				playingSong.TimePosition = lastSongTime
				playingSong:Play()
				mscName.Text = "Now playing: " .. playingSong.Name -- Update GUI with current song name
				playingSong.Ended:Wait()
				lastSongTime = 0  -- Reset the time position after the song ends
			else
				-- Wait until the stop state is toggled back
				repeat task.wait(0.1) until not stop
			end
		end
	end
end

-- Function to handle player respawn
local function onCharacterAdded(character)
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

	humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		print("paused")
		if playingSong then
			lastSongTime = playingSong.TimePosition
			playingSong:Stop()
		end
	end)

	-- Resume music on player respawn
	humanoid.AncestryChanged:Connect(function(_, parent)
		if not parent and playingSong then
			playingSong.TimePosition = lastSongTime
			playingSong:Resume()
		end
	end)
end

-- Connect character added and respawn handling

if player.Character then
	onCharacterAdded(player.Character)
end

-- Start music playback loop
playMusic()
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)
#2

Use the humanoid.Died function. Once the humanoid dies, stop the music. Add a task.wait and then start the music again

#3

still got the same result

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

	humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		print("paused")
		if playingSong then
			lastSongTime = playingSong.TimePosition
			playingSong:Stop()
			task.wait(2)
			playingSong.TimePosition = lastSongTime
			playingSong:Resume()
			
		end
	end)

	-- Resume music on player respawn
--	humanoid.AncestryChanged:Connect(function(_, parent)
	--	if not parent and playingSong then
	--		playingSong.TimePosition = lastSongTime
	--		playingSong:Resume()
--		end
--	end)
end
