Why won't characteradded execute?
Title pretty much says it all.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
createstats(player)
cloneready(player)
clonespawned(player)
clonefirst(player)
updategui()
print("Functions executed") -- this does print
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
print("Character added") -- This doesn't print
logo(player)
player.PlayerGui.SpawnGui.BG.Visible = true
character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
died(player)
end)
end)
end)
I get no errors in the output. CharacterAdded has been a very finicky thing for me before now and I'd really like to know if I'm just using it wrong.
edit: After doing some more testing in my place, I found out that characteradded fires when the player respawns, but not on the first spawn. I am using a test server rather than play solo, so characteradded should work the first time, but it doesn't...
edit2: I also went to the real place on my profile and played it there. The characteradded function still didn't fire when I spawned, but did after I died.

The first spawn most likely occurs before you can attach the CharacterAdded event.
The cleanest way to fix this is to make your CharacterAdded a function on its own and simulate that CharacterAdded event right after you attach it.
function NewCharacter(character,player)
print("Character added") -- This doesn't print
logo(player)
player.PlayerGui.SpawnGui.BG.Visible = true
character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
died(player)
end)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
createstats(player)
cloneready(player)
clonespawned(player)
clonefirst(player)
updategui()
print("Functions executed") -- this does print
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
NewCharacter(character,player);
end)
if player.Character then
-- We were too late getting the
-- CharacterAdded attached--there already
-- was a character, so we need to simulate
-- the event firing here.
NewCharacter(player.Character,player);
end
end)
