How do I stop a player's GUI from showing again after they die?

It does that because you put it in StarterGui. Each time a player respawns, everything in StarterGui is cloned into a player's PlayerGui. This means that if your intro is in StarterGui, it will be shown each time a player respawns.
The solution to this is to put the GUI in workspace, then clone it into a player's PlayerGui when they join the game. They will see it, but since it's not in StarterGui it will not be cloned into PlayerGui a second time when they respawn.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) --PlayerAdded event
local gui = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Gui"):Clone() --Replace with your gui's name, obviously.
gui.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") --Parent it to PlayerGui
end)
Place the gui in ServerScriptStorage Then when they die it wont clone it again.
local gui = game.ServerStorage.StartingScreen -- location of GUI to insert
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
repeat wait() until player.PlayerGui
gui:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui
print("Clone succesful")
end)

This is in a localscript in workspace?
Nevermind, got it. Thanks!
NEVER EVER put a local script in workspace UNLESS you intend to clone it into PlayerGui or Backpack later. LocalScripts don't run in workspace.
