So basically, I was making a team change GUI and when I use it, it changes team but it won't respawn me.
Script is here
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect (function()
player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new ('Neon orange')
player.LoadCharacter()
end)
I thought player.LoadCharacter() would do the trick.
Hello, coolguypoopDUM!
You can't just use game.Players.LocalPlayer! You must use a LocalScript on the player/Character!
As I see, your script is on a part, so no LocalPlayer!
You can find the player that clicked simply by adding a argument for the var that you can on the click!
Edited script:
Instance.new("ClickDetector").Parent = script.Parent
script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player) -- Don't use ":connect", its deprecated!
game.Players[player.Name].TeamColor = BrickColor.new ('Neon orange')
end)
If you want manage respawing yourself then I think you need to do a bit more more in your game script ( not local script ) to handle respawning yourself
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Players/CharacterAutoLoads
respawnTime = 5
Players = Game:GetService("Players")
Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false
Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character)
-- find the humanoid, and detect when it dies
local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if Humanoid then
Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
-- delay, then respawn the character
wait(respawnTime)
Player:LoadCharacter()
end)
end
end)
Player:LoadCharacter() -- load the character for the first time
end)
Having accomplished that you can then modify your code adding the ":" instead of period "." in your call to player:LoadCharacter()
If your code is running in a local script then
-- Assuming his is running in a local script
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect (function()
player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new ('Neon orange')
player:LoadCharacter()
end)
Let me know if that works, keep in mind using LoadCharacter clears out the players Backpack and PlayerGui
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect (function()
player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new ('Neon orange')
player:LoadCharacter()
end)
Use a colon instead of a period when using methods.
I think the reason why you might be confused is because a programming language called Python uses period and not colons when using a method, like this:
`class Rocket(): def init(self): self.x = 0 self.y = 0
def move_up(self):
self.y += 1
my_rocket = Rocket() print("Rocket altitude:", my_rocket.y)
my_rocket.move_up() print("Rocket altitude:", my_rocket.y)
my_rocket.move_up() print("Rocket altitude:", my_rocket.y)`
If that is why, don't be worried; just remember that Lua uses colons and not periods.
