Why does this script makes the death time longer?

Asked 252 views1 answers

I'm trying to make an on death GUI and when I die it works fine, It says how much time you wait to spawn (5 seconds) but when it gets to 1 it waits a couple seconds more and then it disappears. I tried so many ways to change it and it doesn't work. Please help me, I would really appreciate it if you do.

Script 1:

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function()
	script.Parent.Visible = true
end)

Script 2:

while true do
	wait(0.1)
	
	if script.Parent.Parent.Visible == true then
		script.Parent.Text = "Spawning you in: 5 Seconds."
		
		wait(1)
		
		script.Parent.Text = "Spawning you in: 4 Seconds."
		
		wait(1)
		
		script.Parent.Text = "Spawning you in: 3 Seconds."
		
		wait(1)
		
		script.Parent.Text = "Spawning you in: 2 Seconds."
		
		wait(1)
		
		script.Parent.Text = "Spawning you in: 1 Seconds."
		
		while true do
			wait(0.1)
			
			if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health ~= 0 then
				script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
			end
		end
	end
end

(The if part is kinda glitched)

Thanks, MajinBluee

Try taking out the second while true do and see if that fixes it?

To make this more compact, you might consider putting a for loop with a wait of 1 instead of manually putting 5 4 3 2 1. You can also customize how long it waits too.

A devforum post was made about customizable reset logic. https://devforum.roblox.com/t/customizable-reset-button-logic/30463

It involves making a custom callback for the reset. You then could use that to maybe fire some remote event called RespawnClient() since :LoadCharacter() (http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Player/LoadCharacter) can only be used on the server

The code for such logic would work something like this.

Client Side: 

local respawnPlayer = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RespawnPlayer")
local resetCallBackEvent = Instance.new("BindableEvent")
local untilRespawn = 10 

local function resetCallback()
	wait(untilRespawn)
	respawnPlayer:FireServer()
end

resetCallBackEvent.Event:Connect(resetCallback)
game:GetService("StarterGui"):SetCore("ResetButtonCallback", resetCallBackEvent)

Server Side: 

local respawnPlayer = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("RespawnPlayer")

local function respawn(player)
	player:LoadCharacter()
end

respawnPlayer.OnServerEvent:Connect(respawn)

This ofcourse only applies to resetting but you could probably find a hacky way to get past that.
