Humanoid is not a valid member of player

Hello everyone! I’m trying to make a script that shows a ScreenGui when the player dies, but for some reason, when I try to access the Humanoid, to check if the player dies, it says that Humanoid is not a valid member of the Player…
Here’s the script:

--MainVars
local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid

--Code

Error:
22:11:16.758 Humanoid is not a valid member of Model "Workspace.quebrado" - Client - DIED!:2
The LocalScript is placed at the PlayerGui, inside the ScreenGui

You should check if there’s a character before trying to access the Humanoid

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if player.Character then
      --alive
else
      --dead
end

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local gui = script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("ScreenGui")

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
	gui.Enabled = true
end)

and for the Gui functionality.

The problem is that the character hasn’t yet loaded by the time this line of code executes.

What’s happening is that the script is running before the character loads. A solution to this is you use Player.CharacterAdded:Wait() which will pause the script until the character is added like this:

local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait() --Will wait for the character to be added if it's not found immediately
local humanoid = char:WatiForChild("Humanoid")

Try This:

local ScreenGui = --Location of the ScreenGui

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
    --Code to perform when the Player dies
    ScreenGui.Enabled = true
end)

In fact, you should use a serverside which you can use a playeradded and characteradded

Players.PlayerAdded (roblox.com)
Player.CharacterAdded (roblox.com)

Try this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") or player.Character.Humanoid
print(humanoid.Name) -- To see if its humanoid

Server Script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local ScreenGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        Humanoid.Died:Connect(function(Died)
           ScreenGui.Enabled = true
        end)
    end)
end)

Local Script:

local ScreenGui = script.Parent --Location of ScreenGui

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

Humanoid.Died:Connect(function(Died)
    ScreenGui.Enabled = true
end)
