I want to attach a part to a character when they spawn in which works when joining the game but not when respawning and I haven't been able to figure it out
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Hitbox = game.ReplicatedStorage.Hitbox:Clone()
Hitbox.Parent = character
local Weld = Instance.new("Weld", Hitbox)
Weld.Name = "Weld"
Weld.Part0 = Hitbox
Weld.Part1 = character.HumanoidRootPart
end)
You'll need to create an event that detects when the player's character spawn in, like this:
--function to make whole thing easier without having to rewrite it over again
function createHitbox(character)
local Hitbox = game.ReplicatedStorage.Hitbox:Clone()
Hitbox.Parent = character
local Weld = Instance.new("Weld")
Weld.Name = "Weld"
Weld.Parent = Hitbox
Weld.Part0 = Hitbox
--Added wait for child to make sure humanoid root part is part of the character first
Weld.Part1 = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
--[[
this is to make sure it creates it the first time the player joins in case their character gets added --to the game before the event is established:
--]]
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
createHitbox(character)
--[[
this is to make it keep happening each time they respawn:
--]]
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
createHitbox(char)
end)
end)
Hope I helped!
