How do I script a basic death screen?

#21

It is fired whenever a button is activated. Clicking a button basically make it’s activated. If someone pressed a button mobile, the button would still be activated which is obviously want you want and not just make the UI work on PC only.

#22

So my question now is, what would this all look like put together?

#23

So, you would fire something when the player dies,
You would make a button (Activated:connect(function()
then you would load the character.

#24

In lua form? Sorry for being kinda annoying.

#25

can you please show your script, also connect is deprecated, use Connect

#26

The script I used was this but it didn’t work. It was made by Ulxqra.

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)

#27

You haven’t defined what player is.

#28

I really don’t know how to script much, I just started learning and I don’t really understand much.

#29

I scripted an Intro for my game and a couple other things but those were simpler.

#30

Would local player = game.Player.LocalPlayer work?

Script In ServerScriptService

local Remote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", game.ReplicatedStorage)
Remote.Name = "RespawnRemote"


Remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plyr)
	plyr:LoadCharacter()
end)

Localscript in StarterPlayerScripts

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlaySoundOnSpawn = true
local SpawnSound = "rbxassetid://134012322"
local ShowGuiOnDeath = true
local PlaySoundOnDeath = true
local DeathSound = "rbxassetid://157636218"


local OldGui = nil
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	if OldGui then OldGui:Destroy() end
	if PlaySoundOnSpawn then
		local Sound = Instance.new("Sound")
		Sound.SoundId = SpawnSound
		Sound.Volume = 2
		game:GetService("SoundService"):PlayLocalSound(Sound)
		game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(Sound, Sound.TimeLength)
	end
	character:WaitForChild("Humanoid", math.huge).Died:Connect(function()
		if PlaySoundOnSpawn then
			local Sound = Instance.new("Sound")
			Sound.SoundId = DeathSound
			Sound.Volume = 2
			game:GetService("SoundService"):PlayLocalSound(Sound)
			game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(Sound, Sound.TimeLength)
		end
		local Gui = Instance.new("ScreenGui", Player.PlayerGui)
		Gui.IgnoreGuiInset = true
		local Frame = Instance.new("Frame", Gui)
		Frame.Size = UDim2.fromScale(1,1)
		Frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0)
		Frame.BackgroundTransparency = 0.7
		local TextLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel", Frame)
		TextLabel.Size = UDim2.fromScale(0.1,0.15)
		TextLabel.Text = "Dead"
		TextLabel.Font = "Arial"
		TextLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
		TextLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
		TextLabel.TextScaled = true
		TextLabel.Position = UDim2.fromScale(0.5 - TextLabel.Size.Width.Scale/2, 0.5 - TextLabel.Size.Height.Scale/2)
		
		
		local TextButton = Instance.new("TextButton", Frame)
		TextButton.Size = UDim2.fromScale(0.1,0.15)
		TextButton.Text = "Respawn"
		TextButton.Font = "Arial"
		TextButton.BackgroundTransparency = 0.6
		TextButton.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,0)
		TextButton.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
		TextButton.TextScaled = true
		TextButton.Position = UDim2.fromScale(0.5 - TextLabel.Size.Width.Scale/2, 0.5 - TextLabel.Size.Height.Scale/2) + UDim2.new(0,0,0,200)
		
		
		local RespawnRemote = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RespawnRemote")
		TextButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
			RespawnRemote:FireServer()
		end)
	end)
end)
#32 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)

char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
   plr.PlayerGui.GUINAME.Enabled = true 
   wait(3)
   plr.PlayerGui.GUINAME.Enabled = false
end)

end)
end)

just do something like this

#33

But you see it needs to have a respawn button.

#34

I just made a simple and quick system right now and I’ll release my scripts on how I did it, here it is:
Make sure to add RemoteEvent inside of ReplicatedStorage you can change name if you want but make sure that you also do inside scripts.

Script in ServerScriptService:

local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent",4)


game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    game:GetService("Players").CharacterAutoLoads = true
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		game:GetService("Players").CharacterAutoLoads = false
		character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
            --Change here location to your dead screen frame or button as I did.
			player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("DeadScreen"):FindFirstChild("TextButton").Visible = true
		end)
	end)
end)

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	player:LoadCharacter()
end)

LocalScript inside of a button for reset character:

local Event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteEvent",4)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    Event:FireServer()
end)

02:06:24.904 - ServerScriptService.Script:9: attempt to index nil with ‘Visible’ Was the error I got from those scripts.

#37

Did you change locations inside script based on your explorer location and names?

#38

I’m a little big confused. I changed the names to the stuff they needed to like the DeathScreen I changed and a couple other things.

#39

Yet nothing happens when I die.

#40

Send me a picture of your explorer, please.

#41

Just a simple picture of the explorer?
