03 tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
04 _G.GUI = true
05 while _G.GUI == true do
06 local name = script.Parent.Parent.Name
07 if game.Workspace[tostring(name)].Humanoid.Health <= 0 then
08 _G.GUI = false
09 break
10 else
11 local gungui = game.Players[tostring(name)].PlayerGui:WaitForChild("gungui")
12 local ammo = gungui:WaitForChild("am")
13 local maxammo = gungui:WaitForChild("maxam")
14 local currentammo = gungui:WaitForChild("Currentammo")

Does the UI not change, or does the values itself not change? loowa_yawn 383 — 3y

are you seeing "script exhaustion timeout" error? if so put a task.wait() or wait() on line 27 in your script since it only waits if gungui:FindFirstChild("Currentammo") but when you die it can't find the child so it does not wait and thus runs too fast. imKirda 4491 — 3y

if game.Workspace[tostring(name)].Humanoid.Health <= 0 then _G.GUI = false break
You're setting the GUI to false if they die?
Even so, I don't see the point of
_G.Gui = true
Then checking if it is true...
Maybe the cause:
you have a break in your script. I'm not sure but consider just getting rid of that, or putting a return in there. Not sure what the return would do but just test it.
