Granting gear to player upon join - how to wait until the player is fully loaded?
- I successfully step through this method to grant joining players gears.
- But I'm guessing the rest of character loading is replacing the backpack, so the player never gets the gear
- What's the proper way to run scripts after the basic player backpack setup is done?
local dataSource = require(game.ServerScriptService.BehaviorLogic)
function playerJoined(player)
local gear = dataSource["GetInfo"](player, "GetGear")
SetupGear(player, gear)
end
local ins = game:GetService("InsertService")
function SetupGear(player, gear)
--wait(5) uncommenting this line makes it work
for _, assetId in ipairs(gear) do
print("Granting"..tostring(assetId))
local tool = ins:LoadAsset(assetId):GetChildren()[1]
print(tool)
tool.Parent = player.Backpack
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(playerJoined)

Add this line to ensure the character is fully loaded.
player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

You can use game.Loaded:Wait() to wait until the game is completely loaded, you should put this in a local script, then after that line you can fire a remote event to the server and give them the tool then.
if you want to go with the character, then use repeat wait() until player.Character
Alternatively you can just add a wait(5) or more seconds before you give the tool.
Also the player joined function should be beneath the setup tools function.
