Why is this running instantly?

Asked Sep 13, 2014387 views2 answers

if  randomPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died then
	for i,v in pairs(Game.Players:GetPlayers()) do 
	pcall(function() 
	v.PlayerGui.TopFrameENDED.TextButton.TextTransparency = 0
	v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.TextButton.TextTransparency = 1
	wait(2)
	v.PlayerGui.TopFrameENDED.TextButton.TextTransparency = 1
	v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.Main.Disabled = true
	wait(0.03)
	v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.Main.Disabled = false
	v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.TextButton.TextTransparency = 0
	end)

That is found inside a function,And yes "randomPlayer" is recognized,I made it chose one random player out of a server.

I just want this to be able to run WHENEVER the randomPlayer dies,But whenever the function is ran,It runs instantly.

Help,Greatly appriciated.

Died is an event, not a property. As it exists and is an event, it will always evaluate to true. This is the correct way to use events:

randomPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function()
	for i,v in pairs(Game.Players:GetPlayers()) do 
		pcall(function() 
    		v.PlayerGui.TopFrameENDED.TextButton.TextTransparency = 0
    		v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.TextButton.TextTransparency = 1
    		wait(2)
    		v.PlayerGui.TopFrameENDED.TextButton.TextTransparency = 1
    		v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.Main.Disabled = true
		wait(0.03)
		v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.Main.Disabled = false
		v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.TextButton.TextTransparency = 0
	end)
end)

Well you could restart the whole thing, make it so that the died funtion comes first

function Died()
for i,v in pairs(Game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        pcall(function()
            v.PlayerGui.TopFrameENDED.TextButton.TextTransparency = 0
            v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.TextButton.TextTransparency = 1
            wait(2)
            v.PlayerGui.TopFrameENDED.TextButton.TextTransparency = 1
            v. PlayerGui. TopFrame. Main. Disabled = true
        wait(0.03)
       v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.Main.Disabled = false
        v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.TextButton.TextTransparency = 0
    end) -- not sure if you need this ) if it dosen't work remove that
end

randomPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(Died)

Idk if this will work but i think it might here is text again so you can copy without coping numbers: function Died() for i,v in pairs(Game.Players:GetPlayers()) do pcall(function() v.PlayerGui.TopFrameENDED.TextButton.TextTransparency = 0 v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.TextButton.TextTransparency = 1 wait(2) v.PlayerGui.TopFrameENDED.TextButton.TextTransparency = 1 v. PlayerGui. TopFrame. Main. Disabled = true wait(0.03) v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.Main.Disabled = false v.PlayerGui.TopFrame.TextButton.TextTransparency = 0 end) -- not sure if you need this ) if it dosen't work remove that end

randomPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(Died)
