Re - spawn Script problems?

I've been trying to test one of my local scripts that adds velocity to that player's torso, but I needed a way to re - create it after the player dies. All the script is supposed to do is add the required velocity back to the player's torso when he or she re - spawns:

function PlayerDied()
	print("began")
	repeat wait() until player.Character.Humanoid.Health ~= 0
	Body = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", player.Character.Torso)
	Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,0)
	Body.MaxForce = Vector3.new(4000,0,4000)
	print("done")
end
player.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(PlayerDied)

The problem is, the function only runs once for when the player dies. The script is local and is located in the StarterPlayerScripts file. NOTE the script MUST be local (UserInputService). Please HALP!!! Thx!

--------------EDIT--------------

Here's the whole script that I'm running just in case there might be some conflicting info:

Var = 0
Var1 = 0
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

print(player)
repeat wait() until player.Character ~= nil
Body = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", player.Character.Torso)
Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,0)
Body.MaxForce = Vector3.new(4000,0,4000)

function PlayerDied()
	print("began")
	repeat wait() until player.Character.Humanoid.Health ~= 0
	Body = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", player.Character.Torso)
	Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,0)
	Body.MaxForce = Vector3.new(4000,0,4000)
	print("done")
end
player.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(PlayerDied)

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(Key, Condition)
	if player.Character.Humanoid.Health ~= 0 then
		if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
			Var = 1
			if Var == 1 and Var1 == 1 then
				Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,0)
			elseif Var == 1 then
				Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,-24)
			end
		end
		if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
			Var1 = 1
			if Var == 1 and Var1 == 1 then
				Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,0)
			elseif Var1 == 1 then
				Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,24)
			end
		end
	end
end)


game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(function(Key, Condition)
	if player.Character.Humanoid.Health ~= 0 then
		if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
			if Var == 1 and Var1 == 1 then
				Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,24)
				Var = 0
			elseif Var == 1 and Var1 == 0 then
				Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,0)
				Var = 0
			end
		end
		if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
			if Var == 1 and Var1 == 1 then
				Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,-24)
				Var1 = 0
			elseif Var1 == 1 and Var == 0 then
				Body.Velocity = Vector3.new(-24,0,0)
				Var1 = 0
			end
		end
	end
end)

This problem has a simple fix: the StarterPlayerScripts folder only inserts the scripts when the player first joins in, not when they respawn. To fix it just put a script in your game that clones this script into their player in the players folder or into their palyergui or backpack. Hope this helps.
