Why does this not work? -simple
Its supposed to say PLAYER died when you press it. It works fine when its just "Died" Is there something wrong.
I have already tried p = hit.Characterand label.Text = p.. "Died!"
local label = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel
function Onclick(hit)
label.Text = hit.Character.. "Died!"
wait(.1)
hit.Character.Head:remove()
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(Onclick)

Your Problem
The MouseClick event returns the player that clicked. So when you index Character and try to concatenate it with a string it's going to throw an error like;
Attempt to concatenate a userdata
This happens because the Character itself is a userdata. You need to index the Name property - a string(:
Code
local label = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel
function Onclick(hit)
local char = hit.Character --Define the character here
label.Text = char.Name.. "Died!" --Index 'Name'
wait(.1)
char.Head:Destroy() --'remove' is deprecated, use Destroy!
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(Onclick)

You say Remove is depreciated. Remove still works. For those like myself, I prefer remove over destroy. :P Tkdriverx 514 — 9y

The remove function just sets the object's parent to nil. It doesn't actually garbage collect it. The data is still there meaning any script(s) that were running in it will still run, as well as increased lag for the server if it's used excessively. Goulstem 8144 — 9y

Problem: You never asked for the players name, just their physical character. Solution:
i = Instance.new("ClickDetector")
i.Parent = script.Parent
local label = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel
function Onclick(hit)
label.Text = hit.Character.Name.. "Died!"
wait(.1)
hit.Character.Head:Destroy() -- remove is deprecated
end
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(Onclick)
