i added a script i found on google to my game to replace character model names however it repeats every time a new player joins which would constantly respawn a player, how can i fix this?

01game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
02    local ignore = false
03    player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(oldCharacter)
04        wait(1)
05        if ignore then return end
06        ignore = true
07        spawn(function()
08            player.Character = nil
09            oldCharacter.Archivable = true
10            local newCharacter = oldCharacter:Clone()
11            newCharacter.Name = player.PlayerNameValue.Value
12            player.Character = newCharacter 
13            newCharacter.Parent = workspace
14            if newCharacter:FindFirstChildOfClass("ForceField") then
15                while oldCharacter:FindFirstChildOfClass("ForceField") do
16                    oldCharacter.ChildRemoved:wait()
17                end
18                repeat
19                    local forcefield = newCharacter:FindFirstChildOfClass("ForceField")
20                    if forcefield then forcefield:Destroy() end
21                until not forcefield
22            end
23            ignore = false
24        end)
25    end)
26end)

Maybe use `break` User#29913 36 — 5y

@LinkTheHero what you can do is place a script in `StarterCharacterScripts`. Scripts in here will be automatically cloned and placed into the character making is so that everytime a character spawns it will run the code. BlackOrange3343 2676 — 5y

move 'ignore' outside of both functions DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 5y
