How to prevent Health billboard gui disappear after respawn?

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
		local plyrGuiH = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
		plyrGuiH.Name = "HealthOverlay"
		plyrGuiH.Parent = char.Head
		plyrGuiH.Adornee = char.Head
		plyrGuiH.Size = UDim2.new (1,0,1,0,0,0)
		plyrGuiH.StudsOffset = Vector3.new (0,1.2,0)
		--plyrGuiH.PlayerToHideFrom = player
		
		local frame = Instance.new("Frame")
		frame.Parent = plyrGuiH
		frame.Size = UDim2.new (0,180,0,10)
		frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB (9, 33, 49)
		
		local overlay = Instance.new("Frame")
		overlay.Parent = frame
		overlay.Name = "Overlay"
		overlay.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB (255, 24, 58)
		overlay.Size = UDim2.new (0,180,0,10)
		
	game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Health, false)
	local players = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	repeat wait() until players.Character
	local Humanoid = players.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local HealthMath = Humanoid.Health / (Humanoid.MaxHealth)
	
	script.Parent = overlay
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(HealthMath, 0, 1, 0), "Out", "Sine", .5)

	Humanoid.HealthChanged:connect(function()
		local HealthMath = Humanoid.Health / (Humanoid.MaxHealth)
		script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(HealthMath, 0, 1, 0), "Out", "Sine", .5)
	end)

		
	end)
end)

When enter the game, the billboard is there , but after reset the character it is gone.

Suggest parenting it inside of PlayerGui, setting it to not reset on respawn, and adornee it to the head as you already do.

You gotta set the adornee again when a new character gets added, since the old Head is gone.

You were setting the script's parent to the gui object, so when the player resets, the script is destroyed, severing the connections of the listeners in it.

I also recommend you use a serverscript and put it in ServerScriptService instead.

(Also if you need help centering the GUI and locking it's size, let me know)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
        local plyrGuiH = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
        plyrGuiH.Name = "HealthOverlay"
        plyrGuiH.Parent = char.Head
        plyrGuiH.Adornee = char.Head
        plyrGuiH.Size = UDim2.new (1,0,1,0,0,0)
        plyrGuiH.StudsOffset = Vector3.new (0,1.2,0)
        --plyrGuiH.PlayerToHideFrom = player

        local frame = Instance.new("Frame")
        frame.Parent = plyrGuiH
        frame.Size = UDim2.new (0,180,0,10)
        frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB (9, 33, 49)

        local overlay = Instance.new("Frame")
        overlay.Parent = frame
        overlay.Name = "Overlay"
        overlay.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB (255, 24, 58)
        overlay.Size = UDim2.new (0,180,0,10)

    game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Health, false)
    local Humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local HealthMath = Humanoid.Health / (Humanoid.MaxHealth)
	wait()
    overlay:TweenSize(UDim2.new(HealthMath, 0, 1, 0), "Out", "Sine", .5)

    Humanoid.HealthChanged:connect(function()
        local HealthMath = Humanoid.Health / (Humanoid.MaxHealth)
      	overlay:TweenSize(UDim2.new(HealthMath, 0, 1, 0), "Out", "Sine", .5)
    end)

    end)
end)

Ohh I see!! Thank you very muchh!! I need your help with the glitching part of the gui too and I think I do need your help how to center the Gui and locking it's size. It would be nice of you to help me with that x3 I'm still learning scripting. :D

Just go to the ScreenGui, click it, and make the ResetOnSpawn property false. I used to have the same problem.
