its on check lol but what i mean in my question i don’t want it to reset on spawn only i want it to reset everysecond

Oh, my bad. I read the post wrong.

What are you trying to reset? It’s really unclear as to what you are trying to accomplish without proper context

Do you want the UI to update as in adding elements and removing elements?

6

you’ll know what i’m talking about if you played this i have problem with the progress bar here

7

If you want the progress to change, you can either loop your code that deals with the progress bar OR you can use events that trigger when a value is changed such as .Changed

i tried using this

local players = game:GetService("Players")

for i,v in pairs(players:GetChildren()) do
	v.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
			for x,y in pairs(v.PlayerGui.HeightGui:GetChildren()) do
				for a,b in pairs(game.StarterGui.HeightGui:GetChildren()) do
					wait()
						y = b
				end
			end
		end
		
	end)
end

so that when a player dies it resets everyone’s gui but it doesn’t work

i also tried usiing this

for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
	for x,y in pairs(v.PlayerGui.HeightGui:GetChildren()) do
		for a,b in pairs(game.StarterGui.HeightGui:GetChildren()) do
			while wait() do
				y = b
				end
		end
	end
end

to update the gui everytime but it doesn’t work

Use a server script to remove the current GUIs and replicate starter guis back to the client.

-- Remove a player's current GUIs:
for _, currentGUI in pairs (player.PlayerGui:GetChildren()) do
    currentGUI:Destroy()
end

-- Then clone the GUIs:

for _, GUI in pairs (game.StarterGui:GetChildren()) do
    GUI:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui
end

Then wrap this code in a loop. But your post is too vague and we don’t know the context or your purpose of doing this. Hope this helped.

still not updating the player’s gui
its still the same result as my other script

12

Could you show the output messages if there are any errors?

09:50:24.921 - Infinite yield possible on 'RobloxReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GetServerVersion")'
09:50:24.923 - Stack Begin
09:50:24.931 - Script 'CoreGui.RobloxGui.CoreScripts/CoreScriptErrorReporter', Line 104
09:50:24.932 - Stack End
  Resetted

there are no errors on the script

The code works just fine for me. Try this test snippet and update us on the output logs.

Summary 
local player = game.Players:WaitForChild("g_captain") -- change to your username

while true do

for _, currentGUI in pairs (player.PlayerGui:GetChildren()) do

currentGUI:Destroy() print(currentGUI.Name)

end

-- Then clone the GUIs:

for _, GUI in pairs (game.StarterGui:GetChildren()) do

GUI:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui print(GUI.Name)

end

wait(1)

end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        for _, currentGUI in pairs (plr.PlayerGui:GetChildren()) do
            if currentGUI:IsA("ScreenGui") then
                 currentGUI:Destroy() print(currentGUI.Name)
            end
        end
        
        for _, GUI in pairs (game.StarterGui:GetChildren()) do
            if GUI:IsA("ScreenGui") then
                GUI:Clone().Parent = plr.PlayerGui print(GUI.Name)
            end
        end
    end)
end)

its doesn’t print anything so its not working i guess

17

It should be a server script try that as @g_captain i just copied what you said at the first script you send

18

yeah i placed it in serverscript service

19

Then the code is not the issue. Is your ServerScript disabled? Is it in ServerStorage? Try making an entirely new script and placing only the code there.
