How to lengthen respawn time for a character?
So I had a little trouble with this. Do I delete the default [if there is one] respawn script and replace it with a new one? I want to lengthen respawn time for good reasons.
So this is my attempt. Which is in the PlayerCharacterScripts.
respawnscript = script.Parent.Respawn
respawnscript:Destroy()
script.Parent.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
wait(20)
-- Apparently I have to recreate the character??
oldchr = --THIS IS WHERE IM STUCK?
newchr = oldchr:Clone()
newchr.Parent = workspace
newchr:MoveTo(spawnpoint.Position) -- Dont mind spawnpoint value
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = newchr
end)
Also, if there is a function to automatically respawn a character, instead of manually removing the character, and cloning it and teleporting it to a random spawn, then please tell me!

There is a way to automatically respawn a character, instead of manually removing the character
Instead of doing what you're doing, there's a property of the Players service called, CharacterAutoLoads. Turn this off.
Now you have to tell the player when to load it's character. To do this, you now have to use :LoadCharacter() on the player when you want to spawn/respawn their character.
You would want to spawn their character when they join, and after they die. An example script would look like this,
-- Script in ServerScriptService
local RespawnTime = 10
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:wait()
wait(RespawnTime)
plr:LoadCharacter()
end)
wait(5)
plr:LoadCharacter()
end)
Just make sure you turn off CharacterAutoLoads.
That was my script. For the wiki's script, look here.
Good Luck!
