	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) -- CharacterAddedFunction

		Handler.Do(player, char)

end)

So When the player First joins the game, the character Added doesn’t run, only when I die it will run it?

Am I doing something wrong? also When I die It doesn’t teleport my character to the checkpoint:

Checkpoint.Check = function(player, character)
local Stage = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Stage
local Checkpoint = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Checkpoints"):WaitForChild(Stage.Value)
character:MoveTo(Checkpoint.Position)
end

There’s too much code going before it that those milliseconds of running that code leads to it connecting the “CharacterAdded” thing after the player has “Already been created”, hence not running the code unless they reset (or whenever the character gets added running the connection).

You can just run that code directly after the connection (and it’ll only run once when the player joins so you don’t have to worry about anything).

Oh right, that makes sense. But for some reason, after I die it will not teleport me? Not sure why, it does when I first join, but after that it doesn’t teleport me.

#5

I’m not sure quite what the problem is, the connection itself looks right though, so maybe I would use a Print(“Test”) to test if it is running the connection, if it is running the connection then the problem is to do something with the actual function itself and not the connection.

#6

Are you sure the full character exist when you’re trying to teleport it? Or just the object model.

#7

Yeah, I’m pretty sure. I ran a print to see when a character exist, if this is works? If it’s after a characterAdded shouldn’t it be a full character?

#8

It should spawn with everything, however, I have had problems with this sort of thing in the past. Trying to use like MoveTo or SetPrimaryPartCFrame, right when the player spawns has caused me issues. I usually solve it by having some sort of slight wait

Yea try putting like, wait(1) or something like that, it might help.

Yeah, would that effect players in anyway? Say for example the slow/bad device

#11

maybe try repeat wait() until workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name) ?

#12

Would repeat wait() until player.Character work as well?

#13

I believe it would also work, I’m not sure?
