Why is this function only working once and then suddenly stops working?
i have this script that increases a value when the local player dies (Local Script)
Script:
wait(2)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Hum = plr.Character.Humanoid
Hum.Died:connect(function()
print("You have died. Adding 1+ To Counter.")
script.Parent.Value = script.Parent.Value + 1
print("Success")
plr.PlayerGui.Main.Deaths.TextLabel.Text = script.Parent.Value
end)
print("Death Counter.exe Successfully Started")

Each time the player dies it gets a new character and the humanoid connection event no longer runs. You need to hook the humanoids death event to each time the players character is added like I did for you below.
wait(2)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Hum = plr.Character.Humanoid
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
Hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid");
Hum.Died:Connect(function()
print("Death")
end)
end)
print("Death Counter.exe Successfully Started")

Please ignore the random semi-colon its a habit I have to add to the end of each line. EnzoTDZ_YT 275 — 3y

Try the humanoid.died connection outside the character added function for the first death ass the wait will end up having the characteradded event ran already. EnzoTDZ_YT 275 — 3y

I would try getting a player script importer like one of those ragdoll or shift2run scripts, and putting that code in it. That way, the script gets distributed to the player and redistributed after death.
