I have noticed that after a player dies, the local script belonging to the player no longer functions. For example:

Player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	print("button clicked")
end)

The script would function as normal, but I wondered what would happen if the player dies. However, upon respawning, the button no longer prints suggesting the button is not being clicked. The script is located in StarterPlayerScripts.

I like to believe that the reason behind this is because the script is still attached to the previous PlayerGui and since the player has died, the previous PlayerGui has been replaced with a new one. May someone clarify this and how people resolve this problem?
