[SOLVED] How do I make a GUI animation play when the player joins instead of everytime they reset?

I have a LocalScript in StarterGui. I'm trying to get an animation to play when a TouchEnabled player joins, but everytime they die it replays again. Maybe I'm supposed to put the script somewhere else? I don't really know.

Edit: here's part of the script

local touchAnimationPlayed = false

if game:GetService("UserInputService").TouchEnabled == true then
    if touchAnimationPlayed == false then
        playAnimation()

        touchAnimationPlayed = true
    end
end
