Send remote event after player died

Hey there! I made a script where a jumpscare would fire when a remote event is fired. Once it is completed I want to send another remote event. However if I do it when the death is fired the thing which happens when the remote event is fired doesnt work becuase the player is not loaded. So is there a way I could check if the player is added after the jumpscare. Thanks! ( The characted added at the bottom of the script doesnt work)

game.ReplicatedStorage.SendDeathClient.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	light()
	
	script.Parent.Visible = true
	print("Completed")

	script["Grief Horror map - Jumpscare"]:Play()
	script["Jumpscare sound effect"]:Play()
	script["Scary Sound"]:Play()
	script.jumpscare:Play()
	animation:Play()
	animation.Stopped:Connect(function()
		animation2:Play()
		
		wait(2)

		script.Parent.Visible = false

	end)
	
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
		game.ReplicatedStorage.CompletedJumpScareServer:FireServer()
	end)
end)

You can Yield your code until you get the Character or Character.Parent.

--// Yield

repeat task.wait() until Character.Parent ~= nil

Just put this line in the CharacterAdded Event.

that didnt seem to work… im not sure if thats the way to go as I cant yield the character in the first place to even check if its not nil.

The CharacterAdded event fires whenever the player respawns. If you’re trying to fire the CompletedJumpScareServer event after the jumpscare animation has completed, you don’t need to wait for the CharacterAdded event.

Instead, you can fire the CompletedJumpScareServer event right after the jumpscare animation has completed and the script’s parent visibility is set to false.

This should make sure the event is fired at the right time:

game.ReplicatedStorage.SendDeathClient.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	light()
	
	script.Parent.Visible = true
	print("Completed")

	script["Grief Horror map - Jumpscare"]:Play()
	script["Jumpscare sound effect"]:Play()
	script["Scary Sound"]:Play()
	script.jumpscare:Play()
	animation:Play()
	animation.Stopped:Connect(function()
		animation2:Play()
		
		wait(2)

		script.Parent.Visible = false

		-- Fire the CompletedJumpScareServer event
		game.ReplicatedStorage.CompletedJumpScareServer:FireServer()
	end)
end)

If you need to fire the event after the player has respawned, you should probably have the CharacterAdded function outside of the event. Though the event fires when the player respawns, regardless of the animation finishing.
