Loading the player?

Asked 766 views1 answers

So I've been trying to re - spawn the player after 1.8 seconds. Everything works fine the first time the player dies, but after that the player doesn't re - spawn at all. The script is server - side, and is located in the Workspace service.

game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	print("hi")
	local SpawnLoc = Instance.new("Vector3Value", player)
	SpawnLoc.Name = "SpawnLocation"
	SpawnLoc.Value = game.Workspace.Spawn.Position
	player:LoadCharacter()
	player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,5,0)) + player.SpawnLocation.Value
	player.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
		print("hi")
		wait(1.8)
		player:LoadCharacter()
		player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,5,0)) + player.SpawnLocation.Value
	end)
end)

Is it that the .Died event of the Humanoid is broken or what. ****Now if you do post an answer, explain your script thourally and do not include any complex/unnecessary code that just makes the script longer. THX!!!

--------------EDIT----------------

Reply to MastaJames : So then why wouldn't this work?

game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	print("hi")
	local SpawnLoc = Instance.new("Vector3Value", player)
	SpawnLoc.Name = "SpawnLocation"
	SpawnLoc.Value = game.Workspace.LobbySpawnLocation.Position
	player:LoadCharacter()
	player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,5,0)) + player.SpawnLocation.Value
	player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
		print("hi")
		repeat wait() until char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil
		char.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
			print("hi")
			wait(1.8)
			player:LoadCharacter()
			player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,5,0)) + player.SpawnLocation.Valu
		end)
	end)
end)

You need the CharacterAdded event to encase the Died function. This is due to your character resetting and providing a new humanoid each time you respawn.

So basicly the died event is broken and usluss for my script

No, it's still useful. The problem is that only the first character is being connected to the event. After that, a new one is loaded and needs to be connected to it's own event. By using CharacterAdded, as M39a9am3R suggested, will convienently allow you to do this.

There are two answers to this
The first answer assumes that CharacterAdded works properly, and just rearranges your code

game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    print("hi")
    local SpawnLoc = Instance.new("Vector3Value", player)
    SpawnLoc.Name = "SpawnLocation"
    SpawnLoc.Value = game.Workspace.LobbySpawnLocation.Position
    player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
        print("hi")
        repeat wait() until char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil
        char.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
            print("hi")
            wait(1.8)
            player:LoadCharacter()
            player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,5,0)) + player.SpawnLocation.Value;
        end)
    end)
    player:LoadCharacter()
    player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,5,0)) + player.SpawnLocation.Value
end)

The second answer assumes that CharacterAdded is broken, and tries to get around it by cheating.

game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local bindPlayerDeath
     bindPlayerDeath = function()
       wait(1.8)
       player:LoadCharacter()
       player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,5,0)) + player.SpawnLocation.Value
        player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(bindPlayerDeath);
    end;
    print("hi")
    local SpawnLoc = Instance.new("Vector3Value", player)
    SpawnLoc.Name = "SpawnLocation"
    SpawnLoc.Value = game.Workspace.LobbySpawnLocation.Position
    player:LoadCharacter()
    player.Character.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,5,0)) + player.SpawnLocation.Value
        print("hi")
        repeat wait() until char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") ~= nil
        char.Humanoid.Died:connect(bindPlayerDeath);
end)
