How do I script a basic death screen?

If I already have the death screen GUI set up, how would I script it so it pops up when you die and you have to hit a button to respawn?

No random title selection just a respawn button and a death screen popup.

Thanks,

Turn off player.CharacterAutoLoads first

Then do

humanoid.Died:Connect(function())
gui pops up
end)

button clicked connect
player:LoadCharacter()
end)

You would need:

humanoid.Died:Connect(function() -- You did (function()) (Not sure if thats correct)
gui comes up
end)

then,

script.Parent.MouseButton1down:Connect(function()
player:LoadCharacter()
-- Gui goes off
end)

Once you get to then, (Line 4) there is an error. Any help on that?

#5

What’s the error and what’s the code you wrote that throws that error?

#6

Do NOT do Function()), you gotta do function()

#7

I did. There is an error at line 4

#8

At the
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()?
edit: It is MouseButton1Down I did not capitalize Down.

#9

I fixed that but there is still an error on line four.

If I were to write the script I would do this:

humanoid.Died:Connect(function() 
script.Parent.Frame.Visible = true --Where ever your frame is.
end) 
wait(3)
script.Parent.MouseButton1down:Connect(function()
player:LoadCharacter()
script.Parent.Frame.Visible = false -- Gui goes off
end)

I tested that but, it didn’t work. Idk why.

01:33:56.006 - Players.YT_Gamer1212.PlayerGui.DeathScreen.Frame.Button.LocalScript:1: attempt to index nil with ‘Died’ That is the error I get.

#13

I will test it myself, make sure your layout would be something like this:
game>StarterGui>ScreenGui>Script+frame

#14

You will have to define humanoid

#15

PlayerInstance:LoadCharacter() is server-sided, UI should be handled by the client.

Hence: LoadCharacter will not work in a localscript.

Using a script would work instead of local?

#17

Server scripts is not made to handle UI-related stuff.
Use a :FireServer() instead.

So in all if I were to write that script out what would it look like?

It’s wiser to use Activated than MouseButton1down.

#20

Is Activated Clicked OR down?
