Introduction
In games meant for combat, you might die and respawn a lot. So why not respawn with flair?
BetterRespawn can do just that in one simple, short, commented, and configurable script. Choices like fading in, sizing up, and glowing, and others are present alongside options to configure how they work to your liking. It’s even easy to add custom-made effects yourself!
Better yet? It supports both R15 and R6!

--> Players will have a fading-in effect when they respawn.

--> Players will glow when they respawn.

--> Color for the light. (From LightEffectOnRespawn)
RiseUpOnRespawn = true,
--> Players will rise up a few studs (controlled by RiseUpStartPoint) from under where they spawn, like a zombie or ghost rising upwards from a grave.
--> Works best with FadeInOnRespawn!
--> A SpawnLocation is recommended.
RiseUpStartPoint = 20,
--> Controls how many studs under their spawn point the player starts at during the RiseUpOnRespawn effect.
RiseUpEffectStuns = true,
--> If set to true, while the player is rising up (from RiseUpOnRespawn), they won't be able to move. This is heavily recommended!
RiseUpTurnsOnCollisions = true
--> During the RiseUpOnRespawn effect, the players collisions are turned off. Set this to false if you want the players collisions to stay off after it ends.

How to use
Simply put the script into a place like ServerScriptService and you’re good to go! It’s that easy. Configuration is inside of the script.
You can also edit the easing and other small details in the source code.
