LoadCharacter not working when trying to make a refresh character GUI button?
I'm trying to make a button that refreshes the player who clicked it, but it isn't working and I don't know why. There are no errors in the output or anything underlined red in the script. Here is the script:
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
pcall(function()
local Pos = plr.Character:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
plr:LoadCharacter()
plr.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Pos)
if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("ForceField") then
plr.Character["ForceField"]:Destroy()
end
end)
end)
Any help would be appreciated!

You're calling it from a local script. That won't work. You will need a remote event.
-- # remember to define `remoteEvent`
remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(client)
client:LoadCharacter()
end)
Here i'm just listening on the server side for OnServerEvent to be fired. When it is, the character of the player who fired the remote gets reloaded.
And from the client you would call remoteEvent:FireServer() to fire the server event.
local function onClick() -- # localise!
remoteEvent:FireServer() -- # remember to define `remoteEvent`
end
script.Parent.Activated:Connect(onClick)
-- # Activated is the recommended way of getting GUI click input.

Let's see if this works... I've seen many people saying that you need to use events, but for a beginning scripter, I wouldn't expect you to understand events. Heck, I don't even understand events yet! So I just do a little local value changing here and a little checking for changes there, and that's all that's needed!
So, let's try a something a bit like this:
To set things up, you need a StringValue in ReplicatedStorage named "PlrName"
In the Client-Side (local, in the Button):
plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("PlrName").Value = plr.Name
end)
-- very short and simple.
In the Server-Side (plain, in ServerScriptService):
local plrNameV = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("PlrName")
plrNameV:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function() -- checks for the value to change
local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(plrNameV.Value) -- Gets the player from the value set in the LocalScript
local Pos = plr.Character:GetPrimaryPartCFrame() -- you put - Set a value for the player's position
plr:LoadCharacter() -- you put - load the player's character
plr.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Pos) -- you put- set the player to their original position
if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("ForceField") then
plr.Character:FindFirstChild("ForceField):Destroy() -- Your Remove Forcefield module
end
end)
