Any better methods then using chr:WaitForChild?

Asked 437 views1 answers

So, Whenever the player dies (not by reseting) the output shows "Infinite Yield Possible "Workspace.PlayerNameHere.WaitForChild("Disabled") Basically saying that it will go for forever, Any other way other then using "chr:WaitForChild"? That is better and that so this error doesnt show up? Or how to fix this issue? Also, Whenever the player dies again, another one shows up. Basically saying: Infinite Yield Possible "Workspace.PlayerNameHere.WaitForChild("Disabled") again, then if the player dies again a third one pops up, etc etc.

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
repeat
	wait()
until plr.Character and plr.Character.Humanoid
local chr = plr.Character
local human = chr.Humanoid
local hrp = chr.HumanoidRootPart
mouse = plr:GetMouse()
cam = workspace.CurrentCamera


local disabled = chr:WaitForChild("Disabled")

Ask me if you need any more code or info

you could always just wrap it in a pcall function

Infinite yield possible means that no child named Disabled will ever be added. You can fix this by adding a child to the character named Disabled or add a number after "Disabled" to give it a maximum yield time

Yeah, you should use Player.CharacterAdded event to catch the Character again and reset variable references to the new character. You can also reset local scripts on respawn. 

LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") 
	-- etc
end)

This could work for server scripts too if you've obtained the player through something like Players.PlayerAdded
