Character invisible on client

In my game, completely randomly it seems, the character is invisible when they spawn…

Some of the parts have a Position of Vector3.new(nan, nan, nan) and a Velocity of Vector3.new(nan, nan, nan).

However on the server, the character is completely visible…

The client makes no modifications to the character, at all.
The only thing that I can think of right now is my custom spawning functionality.

--< Module >--
local Character = {}

function Character:OnPlayerAdded(player)
	player:LoadCharacter()
end

function Character:OnCharacterAdded(player, character)
	local function OnDied()
		wait(5)
		
		if player.Parent ~= nil then
			player:LoadCharacter()
		end
	end
	
	character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(OnDied)
end

return Character

I have had this issue for a while now, but decided I can’t take it anymore… If anyone can help, that would be amazing!

It almost seems as if the MeshParts are failing to load client-sided.

If you open up the output window, do you see anything in regards to some assets failing to load?

Also, does this happen in real game servers or just Studio tests?

This does happen in real game servers and studio. There are no asset loading errors.

You could possibly try creating a bug report post, assuming there’s no logical reason that’s causing this to happen. It seems bizarre. :confused:

Yeah, to verify here is an invisible player next to a regular model.

So the meshes are loading.

EDIT: I’m not a regular, just a member, so I would rather wait to see if their is a solution before I go through the trouble of making a bug report.

Issue is still happening even without the custom spawning logic, so that isn’t the issue.

#7

The only problem I can think about are just Motor6ds…, but I find this really weird and interesting.

#8

I found the code that is causing this.

The client makes no modifications to the character, at all.

This was false, I am setting Motor6D transforms for body tracking… (I totally forgot)

I’ve narrowed it down to a NAN vector, I just got to figure out why it is nan…

I should be good from here, thanks for the input!

#9

No problem, when I looked on this 30 minutes ago, I had also no idea at all.

#10

I’ve traced it down to this piece of code…

Camera.CFrame.Position

which for whatever is a nan vector the first time it is called in a heartbeat loop

#11

Well, I have no idea why the vector has nan values but the simple solution was to just ignore it if it did have nan values. So this was the solution I guess. Thanks everyone.
