Local script stops working after player respawns

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a local script in starterplayerscripts that changes a player’s camera mode whenever they enter or exit a seat, it works fine when I first try to use the script, but when the player dies, respawns, and then tries to enter a seat again, the script doesn’t work anymore.

Here is the script, how could I fix this?

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera

char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Seated:Connect(function(isSeated, seat)
	if isSeated then
		print("player is seat")
		plr.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.Classic
		plr.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 70
		plr.CameraMinZoomDistance = 30
	end

	if not isSeated then 
		print("player is not in seat")
		plr.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson
		plr.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 0.5
		plr.CameraMinZoomDistance = 0.5
		return 
	end
end)

When the player dies their character is remade, therefore your character’s humanoid seated event doesn’t exist anymore either, I think it would be best to maybe put this script in StarterCharacterScripts so it’s remade when a character is made again

To explain the difference, StarterPlayerScripts are cloned when the Player instance is made, kinda like PlayerAdded, StarterCharacterScripts are cloned when character instances are made, like CharacterAdded

Thanks! I didn’t realize the difference between startercharacter and starterplayer.
