how can i change text in a gui when the player dies?
hi, i made a screengui and put it in startergui, so now i need to have the text in the gui change when the player dies. the text starts as 25 so when the player dies i need the text to change to 24 and then when they die again it changes to 23 and so on. also when the text reaches 1 it sets their currency (Stage) to 1 and sets the text back to 25.
this is a script i though could be a start (its a child of the Lives gui)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Humanoid.Health = 0
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = 24
end
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Humanoid.Health = 0 and
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = 24 then do
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = 23

There’s an event on the humanoid called Died. It runs every time the player dies. You can use that so the text changes every time the player dies.
Here’s a link to it if you want to learn more about it :

I’d make an example script but I can’t because I’m on mobile.
Disable the "ResetOnSpawn" value that is in the "ScreenGUI" properties.
Then you can do this:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Number = 25
function Update()
local StringNumber = tostring(Number)
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = StringNumber
end
Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function()
if Number < 2 then
Number = 25
Update()
else
Number = Number -1
Update()
end
end)
end)

You could use the humanoid.Died function. I'll give an example here:
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.humanoid.Died:connect(function() --YOUR GUI SCRIPT HERE end)
When the player dies, the script in the block will run.
