[SOLVED] Removing Hats Script -- Not working?

Asked by

So, I have a script that manipulates multiple things inside the character and fires when someone enters the game, or respawns (or dies).

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
02    player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(c)
03    print'fetching player'
04    repeat wait() until
05    player.Character
06    print'fetching character'
07    local char = player.Character
08    local hum = char.Humanoid
09    local head = char.Head
10    head.Transparency = 1
11    print'invisible head and no name'
12    hum.WalkSpeed = 50
13    for _, v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
14        wait()
15    if v:IsA("Hat") then
16        v:Destroy()
17    end
18    end
19    print'removing hats'
20    local h = Instance.new("Hint", game.Workspace)
21    h.Text = "Welcome "..player.Name.." to GAMENAMEHERE"
22    wait(5)
23    h:remove()
24    local h2 = Instance.new("Hint", player.PlayerGui)
25    h2.Text = "All hats are removed so you get more anti-gravity effect"
26    wait(5)
27    h2:remove()
28    print'welcome'
29 
30    local nograv = Instance.new("BodyForce", char.Torso)
31    nograv.force = Vector3.new(0,2000,0)
32    print'good to go'
33    end)
34    end)
 View all 34 lines...

So far, everything in this script is working well, except for one thing.

1for _, v in pairs(char:GetChildren()) do
2        wait()
3    if v:IsA("Hat") then
4        v:Destroy()
5    end
6    end

The above code is not firing.

Help?

It is possible that the hat is being added to the character after your code has already executed. You may want to consider using a ChildAdded event handler to remove hats as they are added to the character.

1char.ChildAdded:connect(function(child)
2    if child:IsA("Hat") then
3        child:Destroy()
4    end
5end)
