Saving Gui Upon Death

[WindyTundra]

I’m new to scripting and I have a script that counts down from 60, the only thing is… whenever you die the counter resets, is there anyone that could help me out?

-Here’s the script

local text = game.StarterGui.Counter.TextLabel
print(text.Text)
– Number to count down from
local startNumber = 60

– When a player is added connect this function to it
game:GetService(“Players”).PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local count = startNumber
while true do
– “count = count - 1” but compressed into “count -= 1”
count -= 1
– Text can’t be a number so turn it into a string
print(count)
text.Text = count
– If the new number is less than or equal to 0 kick the player
if count <= 0 then
player:Kick()
end
task.wait(1)
end
end)

A ScreenGui has a property called ResetOnSpawn and I assume game.StarterGui.Counter is a ScreenGui, maybe turning this off will fix this issue.

[bujirokun (KnownAsTelly)]

local text = game.StarterGui.Counter.TextLabel
print(text.Text)

local startNumber = 60

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local count = startNumber
	local countdownActive = true

	local function updateCounter()
		while countdownActive and count > 0 do
			count -= 1
			text.Text = tostring(count)

			if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				task.wait(1)
			else
				countdownActive = false
			end
		end

		if count <= 0 then
			player:Kick()
		end
	end

	updateCounter()
end)
