I got an Error for my Global Death script ? need help :)

Asked 238 views1 answers

So i got a global death script for my minigame so when a player dies that he wont be in the Game anymore ( like registered ) so the game says "the blabla won" it did all work but now it says that :

Workspace.Globaldeath:5: bad argument #1 to 'Connect' (RBXScriptSignal expected, got function)

here is the script



game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
		character:waitForChild("Humanoid").Died.connect(function()
local Update = {}
for i,v in pairs(_G.gameplayers) do
	if v ~= player.Name then
		table.insert(Update,1,v)
		
	end
end		
			
			_G.gameplayers = Update
		end)
	end)
end)

and how can i add that if a player dies he goes into the team "Medium stone grey" ? :) ty

I see your problem now! In line 3 of your posted code, you are supposed to use :Connect(), not .connect(). Also, :connect() is already deprecated, so you MUST get used to that (use :Connect() instead). Now, let me show you the fix:

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        character:waitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function() -- Use :Connect()
		local Update = {}
		for i,v in pairs(_G.gameplayers) do
	    		if v ~= player.Name then
	        		table.insert(Update,1,v)
	    		end
		end     
            _G.gameplayers = Update
        end)
    end)
end)

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments. Thanks!

By the way, you should try not to use _G because it is not as safe as you imagine. You can just keep it local in the Main Game Script, then use BindableEvents or BindableFunctions to communicate between the death script and the main game script. Use the Roblox Wiki for more info :)
