OnClientEvent stops working after death

[Smirdson_LT (tum)]

Hello, developers!

I have been making a game about throwing boxes into people, however, recently I’ve been making a flash bang perk that blinds people around the box with an explosion using an RemoteEvent.

Though after testing I found out that, if you die, the remote event stops working, i have gotten NO errors, NOTHING, the remote event stops printing completely, while the script that sends the remote event seems to work fine.

I cannot find people talking about this, so I’ve come here for help!

Script that sends remote event:

	if plrHRP.particleAttach.flash_symbol.Enabled == true then
		local exp_flash = Instance.new("Explosion")
		exp_flash.Visible = false
		exp_flash.Parent = workspace
		exp_flash.Position = Obj.Position
		exp_flash.BlastPressure = 0
		exp_flash.BlastRadius = 10
		Obj.Particles.flash_fx:Emit(1)
		Obj.flash_sfx:Play()
		exp_flash.Hit:Connect(function(hit)
			local flash_dbc = false
			if flash_dbc == false then
			flash_dbc = true
			local playerService = game:GetService("Players")
			if hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				exp_flash:Destroy()
			local playerFromCharacter = playerService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			print(playerFromCharacter)
				hit.Parent.flash_perk.flash_hit:FireClient(playerFromCharacter)
					print(hit.Parent.flash_perk.flash_hit:FireClient(playerFromCharacter))
			end
			task.wait(0.1)
			flash_dbc = false
			end
		end)

Script that receives the remote event:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local dbc = false

plr.Character.flash_perk.flash_hit.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	print("flashy")
	if dbc == false then
	script.Parent.flash_hit_Sound:Play()
	game.Lighting.flash_bang_fx.Enabled = true
	game.Lighting.flash_bang_fx.Brightness = 1
	dbc = true
	for i = 0, 20 do
		game.Lighting.flash_bang_fx.Brightness -= 0.05
		task.wait(0.1)
	end
	game.Lighting.flash_bang_fx.Enabled = false
	end
	task.wait(0.5)
	dbc = false
end)

I know my script is trash, I’m kinda bad ngl.

Can you confirm the script where the event is recieved still exists upon respawn?

[MrOnlyKemal]

Reconnect the function everytime the player respawns, or place the code inside StarterCharacterScripts

[Smirdson_LT (tum)]

It does. This stuff confusing as hell.

try adding the script in StarterCharacterScripts so it resets each time the player die

i had the same problem before and fixed it by chaning the script to Starter Character

[TaylorsRus]

Neither of this stuff makes a difference. the character is not being cached, so it’s always getting the latest character.

[Smirdson_LT (tum)]

Yeah, just added it to StarterCharacterScripts before u said that, still doesn’t work…

[MrOnlyKemal]

The script runs once and gets the first spawned character, after they respawn the code still uses the old character variable

[GE_0E]

maybe add the event as a variable and wait for it
local event = plr.Character:waitForChild(flash_perk.flash_hit)
