01game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function()
02    script.Parent.DarkSoulsNoise:Play()
03    script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency = script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency - 0.2
04    wait(0.01)
05    script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency = script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency - 0.2
06    wait(0.01)
07    script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency = script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency - 0.2

It says that "Attempt to Index field "Character"(a nil value) " TheMaster9245 41 — 6y

add this, repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character before your code, it isn't perfect but should fix the script User#20388 0 — 6y

Why would they use a repeat until lol. Just add a CharacterAdded:Wait() User#19524 175 — 6y

Okay so what is happening is that the Character isn't loaded yet. You have this problem in the actual game due to scripts loading before your character does. In studio it is the opposite. So what you need to do is

view source
01local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local char = Player.Character
03 
04while char.Parent == nil do
05char.AncestryChanged:wait()
06end
07 
08char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
09script.Parent.DarkSoulsNoise:Play()
10 script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency = script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency - 0.2
11wait(0.01)
12script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency = script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency - 0.2
13wait(0.01)
14script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency = script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency - 0.2
15wait(0.01)

Here is the problem with your code. Since Character is a nil value right now, your code is: nil.AncestryChanged:Wait() and while nil.Parent == nil do User#19524 175 — 6y

This is because the scripts load in before the character is loaded. Just add this to your script. Also, switch to :Connect() as ROLOX may be removing :connect() soon.

Also instead of manually subtracting 0.2 from the transparency, use a for loop.

view source
01local plr = game:GetService'Players'.LocalPlayer
02local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
03 
04char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
05    for i = 1, 0, -.2 do
06        script.Parent.Deadline.BackgroundTransparency = i
07        wait()
08    end
09 
10    for i = 1, 0, -.1 do
11        script.Parent.Deadline.YouAreDie.TextTransparency = i
12        wait()
13    end
14end)
