How would you make a gui change pictures when an NPC dies?
I've tried to do this by using _G variable in a respawn script in order to signal when the NPC died, but this didn't work on the live game.
The respawn script was a regular script and the gui script was a local script in the starter gui of a player.
Could someone give a quick example? The basic respawn script is below if that helps, I'm pretty sure it has all the necessary parts.
1 | target = script.Parent:Clone() |
2 |
3 | function Dead() |
4 | local respawn=target:Clone() |
5 | respawn.Parent=script.Parent.Parent |
6 | respawn:MakeJoints() |
7 | script.Parent:Destroy() |
8 | end |
9 | script.Parent.Humanoid.Died:Connect(Dead) |

Don't use _G, and you're using too many deprecated items. clone, connect,remove, and makeJoints are deprecated, use Clone, Connect, Destroy, and MakeJoints User#19524 175 — 6y

wut, what is the difference between the connect and Connect? Kiriyato 15 — 6y

How would you share variables among different scripts? That's the main point, the respawn script oddly still works despite the deprecated items. tran18 -5 — 6y

@Kiriyato connect is deprecated. Connect should be used as it is not. User#19524 175 — 6y

So you'd need to create a RemoteEvent to be able to pass the death event to the client.
01 | --Warning: Untested code! I'm typing right into this SH answer! |
02 | local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent |
03 | local target = script.Parent:Clone() |
04 |
05 | function Dead() |
06 | local respawn = target:Clone() |
07 | respawn.Parent = script.Parent.Parent |
08 | respawn:MakeJoints() |
09 | script.Parent:Destroy() |
10 | event:FireAllClients() |
11 | end |
12 | script.Parent.Humanoid.Died:Connect(Dead) |
This will now fire the event to all the players that the Humanoid died! Now, we need to handle that on the client!
1 | local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent |
2 |
3 | event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() |
4 | print("Humaoid died!") |
5 | --Change the GUI |
6 | end) |
