Character:GetChildren ignores some instances?

[darkvrn]

Im trying to get the children of the player but it only gets certain children and ignores the rest

my code

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

for i,v in pairs(Char:GetChildren()) do 
	print(v) -- this is what is printing (line 16)
	if v.ClassName == "Accessory" then
		print(v) -- this isnt printing because it wont get that type of child
	end
end

output

12:53:08.245  Head  -  Client - LocalScript:16
12:53:08.247  Torso  -  Client - LocalScript:16
12:53:08.248  Left Arm  -  Client - LocalScript:16
12:53:08.249  Right Arm  -  Client - LocalScript:16
12:53:08.250  Left Leg  -  Client - LocalScript:16
12:53:08.252  Right Leg  -  Client - LocalScript:16
12:53:08.253  Humanoid  -  Client - LocalScript:16
12:53:08.254  HumanoidRootPart  -  Client - LocalScript:16
12:53:08.255  LocalScript  -  Client - LocalScript:16
12:53:08.256  LocalScript  -  Client - LocalScript:16

my character (what it should be printing)

[NinjaFurfante07 (iKingNinja)]

It most likely happens because some assets haven’t loaded yet by the time the script runs.

If you look at LoadCharacter, you’ll see that CharacterAdded fires before the appearance is loaded. The linked documentation lists the following order of events when a character is loaded:

1. Player.Character sets
2. Player.CharacterAdded fires
3. Player.Changed fires with a value of “Character”
4. Character appearance initializes
5. Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded fires
6. Character.Parent sets to the DataModel
7. The Character rig builds, and the Character scales
8. Character moves to the spawn location
9. LoadCharacter returns

So you will need to use WaitForChild or some sort of method to wait for the necessary items.

Thanks! Used Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function() to yield until everything has loaded :))
