Why does this local script function only once and does not work after that?
I'm trying to make a local script that resets some items in the player whenever they die. But for some reason, it functions only the first time the player dies and won't function after that.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.Died:connect(function()
player.LegBroken.Value = false
player.Bleeding.Value = false
player.PlayerScripts.SprintScript.Disabled = false
end)

it's because the values are already set to false on any succeeding run DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

it sets them the first time and they stay like that with your script DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

But I always change it to test and it does not reset after the first time. Inscendio 42 — 5y

try using if statements before changing each value DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y

A player’s character always deletes when it dies. This means that the Humanoid along with the other character’s objects will be deleted and a new character model spawns instead. To correct this, you must connect the event everytime that the character respawns:
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
-- do stuff
end)
end)
Also you don’t need to define character and humanoid first.
Hope this helps.
