How to use CharacterAdded from a local script?
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded just isn't a thing so I don't know what to do. Please help me get the character instance of teh local player from one localscript whenever the character respawns or spawns in the first time.
Thanks :3
pcall(function()
wait()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
print"t"
end)
end)

If it doesn't work for you, then you might want to say CharacterAdded in a normal script and fire a remove event to the local script Soban06 410 — 3y

Problem:
The reason it doesn't work is because of the :Wait().
The :Wait() yields the script until an event is true, and in your script, the player would have already been in the game which would cause it not to work!
Solution:
Simply remove the wait() function, and your problem is resolved.
Quick fact: :Waits() are usually 0.03 to 0.07 seconds long!
Also you don't really need a pcall in this case, it's up to you if you want to use it, but it isn't needed here!
Thanks, JesseSong!

no, screengui is only for gui frames. i think you meant startergui, if thats what you meant then no, since you can't get the character in startergui JesseSong 3916 — 3y
