Killfeed indexes disappear when player dies

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I have a kill feed module set up, and have everything to make it work set up as well. Basically, when the server sees that a player who was being shot at dies, it fires to all clients information such as the player’s name, dead player’s name, and gun’s name. From there, in a client script in StarterPlayerScripts uses the module to create a new index in the killfeed.
here’s the module

local contents = {}

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local KillTable = {}


local function adjust(clone)

	local absSizeY = clone.AbsoluteSize.Y
	local gapY = 2
	local totalY = absSizeY + gapY

	for i,v in pairs(KillTable) do 
		clone.Name = "Gui"..i

		local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.1, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear)
		local tween = tweenService:Create(v, tweenInfo, {Position =UDim2.new(0.35, 0, 0.05, (i-1)*totalY)})
		tween:Play()
	end

end

function contents:DisplayKill(player, Char, Gun, EnemyChar)
	if #KillTable >= 8 then
		KillTable[1]:Destroy()
		table.remove(KillTable, 1)
		adjust(KillTable[1])
	end

	local PlayerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
	local KillLogGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("KillLogGui")
	local Template = KillLogGui.Frame.Template 

	local Clone = Template:Clone()
	Clone.Parent = KillLogGui
	Clone.Name = "KilledGui"
	Clone.Visible = true

	local TextLabel = Clone.Frame.TextLabel 
	local textVar = Char.."   "..Gun.."   "..EnemyChar
	TextLabel.Text = textVar

	table.insert(KillTable, Clone)
	adjust(Clone)
	
	wait(7.5)
	KillTable[1]:Destroy()
	table.remove(KillTable, 1)
	adjust(KillTable[1])
end



return contents

and here’s the client script in StarterPlayerScripts

local repstore= game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local KillFeed = require(repstore:WaitForChild("KillFeed"))
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

repstore.Killfeed.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plrname, gun, deadman)
	KillFeed:DisplayKill(plr, plrname, gun, deadman)
end)

This all works, but the problem is, the player who dies doesn’t see the killfeed index, and if the player that killed that player dies soon after, the killfeed also disappears for them. Where should I store each index/how should I resend the same information to the dead players?

You can just set the GUI’s “ResetOnSpawn” property to false. If I understand the issue you’re having, I believe that will work.
