You can keep track of their death count by added 1 to a saved value that you give them when they join the game. You can do this with the PlayerAdded connection, waiting for their Character to load, getting the humanoid, then using Humanoid.Died connection to add 1 to their death count. then do this all over again, adding these connections to their new character that spawns because the old humanoid will be gone. This can be done by listening to changes to their Character property of the Player object.

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local playerDeaths = {}

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	playerDeaths[player] = 0
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
			playerDeaths[player] += 1
			if playerDeaths[player] == 3 then
				print(player.Name.." has died three times!")
			end
		end)
	end)

Death Counter gui

and here is another way

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local deaths = Instance.new("IntValue")
	deaths.Name = "Deaths"
	deaths.Value = 0
	deaths.Parent = player
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
			deaths.Value += 1
		end)
	end)
end)

then from any script you can do

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player:WaitForChild("Deaths").Changed:Connect(function(value)
		print(player, "died", value, "times")
	end)
end)

Have a “death count” value and each time the player dies, have it go up one.

local humanoid = script.Parent.Humanoid
deaths = 0

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
    deaths += 1
    if deaths >= 3 then
      --code
    end
end)

This will not work because the humanoid is reset every death. The death count will always be 1 in your example. This is why you need to store the death count outside the character and reconnect a new Died connection to the new humanoid.

@OfficerlSwearShes19 the person’s example I replied to is not the solution.

You’re right, sorry about that mistake.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
  player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)

         -- Creates the value
         local deathvalue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
         deathvalue.Parent = player
         deathvalue.Value = 0
         deathvalue.Name = "Deaths"

          --Checks when player dies
         local humanoid = character.Humanoid
        humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
             deaths.Value += 1
            if deaths.Value >= 3 then
               --Your Code
         end
     end)
   end)
end)

This should be corrected now.

That would create a new Death value every time the character is added.

The solution is what Forummer or 5uphi posted above. Either will work.

Oh, in that case I’d have to remove the CharacterAdded part.

uhmmmm why did foruumer add playerDeaths[player]
i dont understand what he means by [player]

#11

His method stores the death count in a table (inside the script) that can only be accessed by that specific script as it stands.

5uphi’s method stores the death count outside the script in a value object that other scripts can use for reference.

Sorry for all my glitches in the script, but this one should work. I also included a note for each line.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)-- When player joins

	local deathsvalue = Instance.new("NumberValue") -- Creates the number value
	deathsvalue.Name = "Deaths"  -- Names the number value
	deathsvalue.Value = 0  --Sets the value of the number value
	deathsvalue.Parent = player  --Sets the number value's parent to the player

	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)  -- When character is added
		character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()  -- When died
			deathsvalue.Value += 1  -- adds one more death
			if deathsvalue.Value >= 3 then -- If deaths is equal to 3 or more
				--YOUR CODE HERE
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

No idea if this will work but its a concept. (coming from a amateur builder :neutral_face:)

I suppose you know how to check if a player is dead, if not check; if the Humanoid’s health if 0 or <0
If the humanoid health drops below or equal to 0, print a message of any kind. After that try to check how many times it was printed. If its above or equal 3 well uh… You didn’t really say what will happen so that’s for your imagination.
