Why is this script not removing the players face when they join?

Asked by

When the players joins it should remove their face. But it does nothing. This script is in the workspace.

function playerJoined(plr)
    local char = plr.Character
    local head = char.Head
    local face = head:WaitForChild("face")
    face:remove()
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(playerJoined)

Try this:

(First of all this is a localscript inside starterpack)

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

wait(1.4)
if Player.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("face") then
Player.Character.Head.face:remove()
else
print("Face remover script broken.")
end

I had to change :FindFirstChild to :WaitForChild and that fixed it! Hexcede 52 — 9y

The Player arrives before the Character.

What this means is that you have to wait for the Character to show up before you can access any part of it:

EDIT: I just did some testing, and it looks like the code does remove the initial face, but not one that loads when the CharacterAppearance loads. This code should fix that:

function playerJoined(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
        wait()
        local head = char.Head
        head:WaitForChild("face"):Destroy()
        char.ChildAdded:connect(function()
            if head:FindFirstChild("face") then
                head.face:Destroy()
            end
        end)
    end)
end

game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(playerJoined)
