(ReplicatedFirst) How to wait for the character to load?
I'm trying to make my script wait until the character loads. I attempted to do..
game.Players.PlayerAdded:wait() --and.. game.Players.ChildAdded:wait()
..but neither of the functions fired. Probably fired before the character joined the game.
--In "ReplicatedFirst"
local Player = game.Players.???
local PlayerGui = Player.WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
local ScreenGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild('ScreenGui')
local Loading = Instance.new('TextLabel',ScreenGui)
Loading.Text = 'Loading...'
Loading.BackgroundTransparency = 0.5
Loading.BackgroundColor = BrickColor.new(0,0,0)
Loading.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
Loading.Font = 'SciFi'
Loading.Name = 'Loading'
Is there any other way to get the player name so I can just do game.Players:WaitForChild(LocalPlayer)?

You would get the player name by doing this
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer local player_name = player.Name
This only works in LocalScripts!
Also, you used
Gui.BackgroundColor = BrickColor.new()
That's wrong, you would need to use a Color3
Gui.BackgroundColor = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
I saw you wanted it to be black, so i did that already
The final code
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player.CharacterAdded:wait() -- Waiting for the character to spawn! :D
local PlayerGui = Player.WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
local ScreenGui = PlayerGui:WaitForChild('ScreenGui')
local Loading = Instance.new('TextLabel',ScreenGui)
Loading.Text = 'Loading...'
Loading.BackgroundTransparency = 0.5
Loading.BackgroundColor = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
Loading.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
Loading.Font = 'SciFi'
Loading.Name = 'Loading'
Hope i helped!

My question was if you could make some type of wait() until the Player instance appeared. The reason why I am doing this is because sometimes I get an error online that LocalPlayer doesn't exist, so I try to make something to wait. I don't think there's a way to do that. I'll just do: while true do wait() if game.Players.LocalPlayer then break end end fighter169mobile 123 — 7y

To solve you're problem there is a function in a player called 'CharacterAdded', i highly suggest u to use it :P Valatos 166 — 7y
