My checkpoints stop working randomly. Do you see any errors in my code?

Asked by 6 years ago

I used checkpoints that have already been made from the assets, they work most of the time, but sometimes they stop working on a server and when someone dies, it returns them to the initial spawn point. The server will stay in this condition, leading everyone to quit it. I am hoping this is a common problem with an easy fix.

Here is the script in the checkpoints.

local spawn = script.Parent
spawn.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
        local checkpointData = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("CheckpointData")
        if not checkpointData then
            checkpointData = Instance.new("Model", game.ServerStorage)
            checkpointData.Name = "CheckpointData"
        end

        local checkpoint = checkpointData:FindFirstChild(tostring(player.userId))
        if not checkpoint then
            checkpoint = Instance.new("ObjectValue", checkpointData)
            checkpoint.Name = tostring(player.userId)

            player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
                wait()
                character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = game.ServerStorage.CheckpointData[tostring(player.userId)].Value.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 4, 0)
            end)
        end

        checkpoint.Value = spawn
    end
end)

Thank you

Why are you listening for a CharacterAdded event from a Touched event? Also, connect is deprecated, switch to Connect, userId is deprecated, switch to UserId. The parent argument to Instance.new is deprecated, assign the parent as the last property in another line User#19524 175 — 6y

Also, you wouldn't need to check if "hit" and "hit.Parent" exist. The Touched event wouldn't fire if it didn't exist. User#19524 175 — 6y
