Keeping a GUI on a users screen after respawning without using ResetPlayerGuiOnSpawn?

So far, it's slightly possible, just need help if anyone else has ever made this or made it way better than my bad nasty loop.

if script.Parent and script.Parent:findFirstChild("Locked")==nil and script.Parent.ClassName=="ScreenGui" then
    function UnArchive(p)
        pcall(function()
            p.Archivable=false;
        end)
        pcall(function()
            for i,v in ipairs(p:GetChildren()) do
                UnArchive(v)
            end
        end)
    end
    function TransferAll(mainlocation,item)
        pcall(function()
            print(item.Name.." : "..item:getFullName())
            item.Parent=mainlocation
        end)
        pcall(function()
            for i,v in ipairs(item:GetChildren()) do
            TransferAll(item,v)
            end
        end)
    end
    local lock=Instance.new("StringValue",script.Parent)
    lock.Name="Locked"
    local gui=script.Parent
    UnArchive(gui)
    script.Parent=nil
    local me=script.Parent
    function AlwaysChecking()
        for a=1,25 do
            print("Checking "..gui:GetFullName())
            if gui.Parent~=game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui then
                TransferAll(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui,gui)
                --gui.Parent=game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
            end
            wait(.1)
        end
    end
    gui.Changed:connect(function()
        print("Fired")
        AlwaysChecking()
    end)
    gui.AncestryChanged:connect(function()
        print("Fired2")
        AlwaysChecking()
    end)
end

This is how we did it in Valkyrie

local overlay = script.Parent.ValkyrieOverlay;
overlay = overlay:Clone();
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local CharBind = function(c)
    if not Player.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("ValkyrieOverlay") then
        overlay.Parent = Player.PlayerGui;
        overlay.Name = "ValkyrieOverlay";
    end;
    local humanoid = c:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if not humanoid then
        -- Look for a Humanoid class
        local int = c:GetChildren();
        for i=1,#int do
            local v = int[i];
            if v:IsA("Humanoid") then
                humanoid = v;
                break;
            end;
        end;
        while not humanoid do
            -- Start listening
            local v = c.ChildAdded:wait();
            if v:IsA("Humanoid") then
                humanoid = v;
                break;
            end;
        end;
    end;
    humanoid.Died:wait();
    overlay.Parent = script;
end
Player.CharacterAdded:connect(CharBind);
if Player.Character then coroutine.wrap(CharBind)(Player.Character) end;
overlay.Parent = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui");

My goodness, looks a lot more efficient than my loop. Will go ahead and give this a try. However, I have a client sided script that'll always be showing, since the client script is nilled, so I'll just need to monitor the Died event. Nickoakz 231 — 8y
