Hi everyone! This is my last bug I need to fix before I release my game so that's fun. Basically my game is about smashing cars into other cars (amazing I know) and every car has an action button (image button in gui) that the player gets every time they sit in the car's seat. My script that handles this works most of the time, but not all of the time. Sometimes when players die with the button in their gui it does not come back and more. Any ideas?

#

local cooldown = 6
local canAction = true
local driver = nil

local function carAction() -- Action
--fill here
end

-- Gui
script.Parent.VehicleSeat.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
if child.Name == "SeatWeld" then
local human = child.part1.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (human ~= nil) then
driver = human
end
end
end)

script.Parent.VehicleSeat.ChildRemoved:connect(function(child2)
if (child2.Name == "SeatWeld") then
local human = child2.part1.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if (human ~= nil) then
driver = nil
end
end
end)

while true do
wait(0.1)
if driver ~= nil and not game.Players:findFirstChild(driver.Parent.Name).PlayerGui.ScreenGui:FindFirstChild("ActionButton") and canAction == true then
canAction = false
local GUI = script.ActionButton:Clone()

    GUI.Parent = game.Players:findFirstChild(driver.Parent.Name).PlayerGui.ScreenGui

    GUI.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()  -- Action
        if GUI then
            GUI:Destroy()
            carAction()
            
            wait(cooldown)
            canAction = true
        end
    end)

end

end

            wait(cooldown)
            canAction = true
        end
    end)

end

if you want the gui to constantly reset on spawning then turn on the resetOnSpawn property in the screenGui

The issue is that it stays with the player when they die, I want it to go away

you could detect whenever the humanoid dies and then turn off their gui but the resetOnSpawn property should already do that for you

#

if that for some reason doesn't work you can always do this ig:

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
gui.Enabled = false
end()
