CharacterAdded event not firing

So I have the following piece of code and the CharacterAdded is not firing, is it because of the vertical order? I mean calling LoadCharacter() before declaring the CharacterAdded event.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(
	function(Player)
		
		local Profile = BaseProfile:Clone();
		
		Profile.Name = Player.Name
		Profile.Parent = Profiles
		
		PlayerId = Player.userId;
		local PlayerData = DataBase:GetAsync(PlayerId);
		DataSlots = Profile:GetChildren();
		
		if PlayerData then
			print("Data Received!")
			for Key, Value in pairs(DataSlots) do
				if PlayerData[Value.Name] then
					Value.Value = PlayerData[Value.Name]
				end
			end
			Player:LoadCharacter()
		else
			print("Data Missing")
		end
		
		Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(
			function(Character)
				print("Requesting")
				Weld.WeldSword(Character, Profile.Sword.Value)
			end
		)
	end
)

CharacterAdded query

Could you please send the output?

The output stays empty, Requesting doesn’t get printed, neither the print inside the module.

#4

Considering the printing isn’t being printed, perhaps the PlayerAdded event isn’t firing. Might want to check that out.

A way you could check if that event isn’t firing is if you try using print prior to it.

#5

Oh the PlayerAdded is firing, the output returns Data Received. I meant none of the prints inside the CharacterAdded event.

#6

The character is loaded before you begin listening to the event (you :LoadCharacter() then listen for CharacterAdded), therefore the function won’t run.

You can solve this by performing the logic you want after you load the character, i.e:

local function CharacterLoaded(Player)
	local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	print(Character.Name .. " loaded!")
end

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player:LoadCharacter()
	CharacterLoaded(Player)
end)
