#34

is it because of waitforchild or something?

#35

That shouldn’t be the issue. I should change it to :WaitForChild("Humanoid",5) so it doesn’t wait forever though.

#36

ok well ill try that then okkkk

#38

never mind its already waiting for the child

#39

Try connections.

local Connections = {};

local function YOURFUNCTION(Player)
local Connection = Connections[Player.UserId]
if Connection then
Connection:Disconnect();
end;
local Died = Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
-- YOUR STUFF
end;
Connections[Player.UserId] = Died;
end;

While this might be bad practice and I don’t suggest using it, you could use the alternative

local Players = {}

local function YOURFUNCTION(Player)
if not Players[Player.UserId] then
Players[Player.UserId] = Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
-- YOUR STUFF
end)
end;
end;

I am not sure what you’re trying to do thought, you should post a little more of the code.
