I want to add the players in a folder inside workspace for when they first join and so on. What am I doing wrong?
local plrFolder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("PlrFolder")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
plr.Character.Parent = plrFolder
end)
First off, there is a property in Players called CharacterAutoLoads. You could change this to false if you don't want the character to load. Second, Character is a property of player, not a child. The player's character refers to the model in the Workspace that shows you. So, the character's parent is Workspace.
But what I'm saying is I'm trying to change their parent to the folder.
When a player joins, their character isn't immediately loaded. That is why we must use CharacterAdded.
CharacterAdded is an event that is fired whenever a player's character is created. It can be used in this context like so:
local plrFolder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("PlrFolder")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char)
char.Parent = plrFolder
end)
end)
If you need anymore help, feel free to ask!

Why are you placing the player into a folder? First of all since the player just joined you have to yield until the player spawns with plr:WaitForChild("Character").
