How to make a PlayerGui or Frame clone after respawning / script run after respawning? (Player.CharacterAdded)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I’m trynna make an inventory system wich stores all the values (in-game resources) and you can see them by accesing the inventoryGui.

The script works and clones the Frames to the InventoryGui when the player spawns for the first time, but once you die or respawn the cloned Frames on the Inventory are Deleted.

I also asked some people and they told me to use Player.CharacterAdded, and I tried but failed since I dont really know how to use it.
I have used the Player.CharacterAdded before, but on a character customization system and I think its a litle different since I’m cloning Hair and Faces there and not a Frame for a Gui.

Also if someone wants to know a little more how the inventory works and how the Frame clones get deleted when you die or respawn here’s the link to my testing place.

I think it’s because you are inputting c for character into the function seems like the function should only need plr and not character.

try this

    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(c)
	SetupInv(plr)
	SetupFoodInv(plr)
	SetupResourcesIcons(plr)
	SetupFoodIcons(plr)
	end)

Well, I tried it and it kinda works. I tried printing someting and it worked, but it doesnt really work with the functions, do you know if there’s anything wrong with them?
I will leave the first function in case you can help me with this. Thanks tho

--So this is the first function that clones the Frames for the Inv.
--The thing works when the player joins the game, but not when the player respawns.

local function SetupInv(plr)
	local Inv = plr:WaitForChild("Inventory")
	local plrGUI = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
	local MainGUI = plrGUI:WaitForChild("InventoryGui")
	local MidFrame = MainGUI:WaitForChild("MiddleFrame")
	local InvScrollingFrame = MidFrame:WaitForChild("ScrollingFrame")
	
	for i, item in pairs(Inv:GetChildren()) do
		local templateFolder = RS:WaitForChild("itemFrameTemplate")
		local itemGUI =  templateFolder:WaitForChild("itemFrame"):Clone()
		itemGUI.Name = item.Name
		itemGUI.itemN.Text = item.Name
		itemGUI.itemQ.Text = item.Value
		if item.Value > 0 then
			itemGUI.Visible = true
			itemGUI.Parent = InvScrollingFrame.ItemList
		else
			itemGUI.Visible = false
			itemGUI.Parent = InvScrollingFrame.ItemList
		end
	end
end
