I have a question concerning a Roblox game. The game works fine until a character dies. Then, random parts of the local script stop working. It's too long to explain so here is a link to the game:
https://web.roblox.com/games/4586742374/Times-Tables-Turf-War
If you are interested, walk around the board and look at how the columns and the rows light up. It all works. Then, let your character die. You can do this either by falling of the edge of the board or by standing on an enemy's platform (if you are playing against someone). The easier way is just fall of the edge. When your character respawns, the platforms don't light up any more. This is very strange as it's literally just a chuck of the code that sits on the local script that stops working. Can anyone please explain why this is happening? tx
----UPDATE------
This seems to happen eminently when you are playing against someone and not on your own, so you would have to try it against someone or simulating many players on a local server.
Here is the huge function that I got to handle what happens when the player stands on a platform. Bear in mind this is practically the first page of working code I have written in Studio.
-----UPDATE2------------
I have been trying a few things, which included moving the script to starterPlayerScripts (didn't solve the issue). I think there is an issue with the script maybe loading before the character is ready. Also, this doesn't happen when the character falls off an edge, it only happens when the character dies in 'on land', that is with all the body parts coming apart. Would this have an effect on the ability of Roblox to read the script properly?
