How do I create a custom character loading system? [closed]

I read on the wiki that if you want individual players to have different StarterCharacters, you'd need to create a custom character loading system. How do I do this?

I was wondering a similar thing, how do you set what the player is wearing? And can you make them wear something as a hat, like a model you made. Boss246813579 -6 — 6y

You need a custom character named StarterCharacter. Parent StarterCharacter to StarterPlayer.

I am assuming what you need to do is the following:

go to Players and set the CharacterAutoLoads to false

local RespawnTime = 2

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) -- PlayerAdded event Player:LoadCharacter () -- in this case, we have to load the character because CharacterAutoLoads property is set to false.

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character) -- Once the character is added we will run this function
    local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

    Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        wait(RespawnTime) -- time until next respawn
        Player:LoadCharacter() -- add their character again
    end)
end)

end)

When you parent StarterCharacter to StarterPlayer, it makes every player have that character. LawlR 182 — 6y
