Cant define a player's Character when they join, please help?
My script attempts to change properties in a player's Character whenever they join. I've tried multiple methods to define their character, and have been left with only one that works, but it doesn't technically work the way I want it to.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(client)
wait(5)
local char = client.Character
end)
This does work, but it makes it wait 5 seconds. I'm aware that this will not ALWAYS work, due to the very large range of time it could take up for a player to load their Character in. Please help me with this if you can.

I’m surprised you didn’t come across player.CharacterAdded. It’s an event that fires when the character is added, and returns it.
e.g.
PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
print(char)
print("bruh moment")
end)
end)

thanks so much! i really need to look at more events. btw, is there an event to check if a child with a certain name has been added? User#28017 0 — 4y

https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/event/Instance/ChildAdded <-- use this site, and use an if statement to check the child's name GoldAngelInDisguise 297 — 4y
