Play Menu Disappearing When Player Resets/Dies Returning to Normal Character View

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello! So I made a game menu screen with a play button for my game. When players join the game, they see a camera panning around the map and a simple play button. When they click the play button, it immediately brings them to their regular character view. But when I test out the game and reset or die, it goes back to panning with the play button disappearing. I’ve been trying to make the menu screen only appear when a play first joins, but none of the scripts I’ve tried have worked. Do any of you know what the issue might be? My script for the game menu is shown below.

-- LocalScript inside the LoadingScreenGui

local button = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ImageButton")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer

-- Define the panning parameters
local panSpeed = 0.05
local panDistance = 20
local randomPoint = Vector3.new(math.random(-100, 100), 10, math.random(-100, 100)) -- Adjust the range as needed

-- Variables to capture the initial camera state
local isPanning = true

-- Function to pan the camera around the random point
local function panCamera()
	if isPanning then
		local time = tick()
		local offset = Vector3.new(math.sin(time * panSpeed) * panDistance, 10, math.cos(time * panSpeed) * panDistance)
		camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(randomPoint + offset, randomPoint)
	end
end

-- Connect the function to the render step
runService.RenderStepped:Connect(panCamera)

-- Disable player controls using PlatformStand
local function disableControls()
	local humanoid = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		humanoid.PlatformStand = true
	end
end

-- Enable player controls
local function enableControls()
	local humanoid = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		humanoid.PlatformStand = false
	end
end

-- Handle the play button click
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	-- Play the click sound
	local clickSound = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("ClickSound")
	if clickSound then
		clickSound:Play()
	end

	-- Stop panning and disable player controls
	isPanning = false
	disableControls()

	-- Reset the camera to the character's original view
	local character = player.Character
	local humanoidRootPart = character and character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	if humanoidRootPart then
		camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(humanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 10), humanoidRootPart.Position) -- Adjust as needed
	end

	-- Enable controls and hide the loading screen immediately
	enableControls()
	script.Parent.Enabled = false
end)

-- Hide the loading screen when the player joins the game
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	script.Parent.Enabled = false
end

-- Connect the function to the player added event
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

And here is the script I’ve tried for disabling the menu when a player resets/dies

-- LocalScript inside the LoadingScreenGui

local button = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ImageButton")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local loadingScreenEvent = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("LoadingScreenEvent")

-- Define the panning parameters
local panSpeed = 0.05
local panDistance = 20
local centralPoint = Vector3.new(-125.28, 586.85, -362.38)
local pitchAngle = math.rad(-45) -- Negative angle to look down

-- Variables to capture the initial camera state
local isPanning = false

-- Function to pan the camera around the central point
local function panCamera()
	if isPanning then
		local time = tick()
		local offset = Vector3.new(math.sin(time * panSpeed) * panDistance, 0, math.cos(time * panSpeed) * panDistance)
		local cameraPosition = centralPoint + offset
		local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPosition, centralPoint) * CFrame.Angles(pitchAngle, 0, 0)
		camera.CFrame = cameraCFrame
	end
end

-- Connect the function to the render step
runService.RenderStepped:Connect(panCamera)

-- Handle the play button click
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	-- Play the click sound
	local clickSound = script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("ClickSound")
	if clickSound then
		clickSound:Play()
	end

	-- Stop panning and hide the loading screen
	isPanning = false
	script.Parent.Enabled = false

	-- Reset the camera to the character's original view
	local character = player.Character
	local humanoidRootPart = character and character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	if humanoidRootPart then
		camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(humanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 10), humanoidRootPart.Position) -- Adjust as needed
	end

	-- Enable player controls
	local humanoid = character and character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if humanoid then
		humanoid.PlatformStand = false
	end
end)

-- Hide the loading screen and stop panning when the player joins the game
local function onPlayerAdded(newPlayer)
	if newPlayer == player then
		script.Parent.Enabled = false
		isPanning = false
	end
end

-- Connect the function to the player added event
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

-- loading screen and panning stop when the player respawns or resets
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
	isPanning = false
	script.Parent.Enabled = false
end)

player.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function()
	isPanning = false
	script.Parent.Enabled = false
end)

Im gonna assume that it’s a ScreenGui, if that’s the case, try turning off the “ResetOnSpawn” value for the gui

Never mind, I just realized that I could go to ScreenGui’s properties and turn off ResetOnSpawn. SMH!
