I’m making a checkpoint system, the thing is, when you rejoin and it tries to send you to the stage you got to, it can’t because roblox doesn’t load stuff in when it’s far away. Does anyone know a way to load everything in from the start, or, probably more optimally, load everything inside the “Checkpoints” folder in the workspace?

just do :WaitForChild(workspace.Checkpoints) or add a loading screen

I’m not 100% sure on what to put before the colon, but I tried this and it didn’t work (Checkpoints_Holder is the folder):
game:WaitForChild(workspace.Checkpoints_Holder)
I already have a :waitforchild thing when it tries to send you to the checkpoint, is there a way to force something to load in regardless of its distance?

local checkpoints_folder = workspace:WaitForChild("Checkpoints_Holder")
Also certainly! I heard that if you put the folder in ReplicatedFirst its the first thing that loads.

I have that code already in the script. I don’t think roblox cares about :waitforchild’s if the object’s too far away to load.
I’ll try putting the folder inside replicatedfirst and then taking it out via script when you join.

Sure, pretty sure it’s irrelevant to the problem, but maybe I’m wrong, idk. The stuff at the top messed it up so I’ma remove it lol:

remove the 0.5 wait im pretty sure its messing it up
No, I accidentally tried changing the parent of replicatedfirst itself instead of the folder 
. It works now!
