Detecting a player when they join?
I want to have it so when a player joins I change there head transparency to 1 and then make the humanoid a PlatformStand except this doesn't work... I don't get any failed output but I added the print("hi") just to see if it was the character portion that isn't working... I am really stumped... I am semi-new to scripting so it is probably something obvious...
function playerAdded(player)
wait(2)
if player.Name == "Player" then
local character = player.Character
character.Head.Transparency = 1
character.humanoid.PlatformStand = true
print("hi")
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(playerAdded)

Did you put it in server script service? turquoise_monkeyman 32 — 5y

You should be using the event CharacterAdded User#5423 17 — 5y

You should be using CharacterAdded for this.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local head = char:WaitForChild("Head")
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
head.Transparency = 1
humanoid.PlatformStand = true
end)
end)
If it doesn't work, try adding a wait immediately after the CharacterAdded. Sometimes I have to wait a little bit because it doesn't run.
Accept and upvote if this helps!

Like stated before, you might want to use .CharacterAdded instead, so that the script runs everytime the player's character is loaded.
local players = game:GetService('Players')
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) -- once a player joins
if(plr.Name == "yourPlayerName") then -- checks if it's the player you're looking for
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) -- connects to whenever the char loads
-- you code goes here
-- instead of player.Character you can just then do char.Head
end)
end
end)

he'll have to wait for descendants of the character Gey4Jesus69 2705 — 5y
