Custom death and respawn

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

im trying to code a custom death script instead of dying the player will go down and stand up after a while but i cant get the character back into the same position as the downed clone, clone.position is coming back as nil i think loadcharacter automatically removes it so i cant use its position, is there a way around this?

local deathspot
local revspot
local rs = game.ReplicatedStorage
local deathevent = rs.downeddeath
local downedevent = rs.Downed
game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
			character.Humanoid:UnequipTools()
			deathspot = character.PrimaryPart.Position
			local plrdwn = player.leaderstats.Downed
			local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
			local oldCFrame = character:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
			local downedinv = {}
			for i,v in ipairs(player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
				local tool = v
				if tool then
					table.insert(downedinv,v.Name)
					print(v.Name)
				end
			end
			if plrdwn.Value == false then
				wait()
				plrdwn.Value = true
				character.Archivable = true
				local downedplr = character:Clone()
				downedplr.Archivable = false
				character.Archivable = false
				downedplr.Parent = workspace
				downedevent:FireClient(player,downedplr)
				local newcharhumanoid = downedplr:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
				
				
				
				downedplr.PrimaryPart.Position = deathspot
				newcharhumanoid.MaxHealth = 200
				newcharhumanoid.Health = 200
				
				local Animator = downedplr.Humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
				local Animation = Instance.new("Animation")
				local downedpose = Instance.new("Animation")
				downedpose.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://10907012341"
				Animation.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://7257093097"
				local AnimationTrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(Animation)
				local downedposetrack = Animator:LoadAnimation(downedpose)
				
				AnimationTrack:Play()
				AnimationTrack.Stopped:Connect(function()
					downedposetrack:Play()
				end)
				wait()
				player.Character:Destroy()
				player.Character = downedplr
				for i, v in pairs(downedinv) do
					print("itemdataloaded")
					local toolstoclone = game.ServerStorage.Allitems:FindFirstChild(v)
					if toolstoclone then
						local clone = toolstoclone:Clone()
						wait(1)
						clone.Parent = player:WaitForChild("Backpack")

					end
				end
				newcharhumanoid.WalkSpeed = 1
				newcharhumanoid.JumpHeight = 0
				wait(5)---------------------------time until stand up
				if downedplr then
					revspot = downedplr.PrimaryPart.Position
					
					downedplr:Destroy()
					player:LoadCharacter()
					character.PrimaryPart.Position = revspot
					player.Character = character
					plrdwn = false
					workspace.Camera.CameraType = "Custom";
				end	
				
				
				newcharhumanoid.Died:Connect(function()
					
					downedplr:Destroy()
					player:LoadCharacter()
					plrdwn.Value = false
					deathevent:FireClient(player,downedplr)
					player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value/2
					
				end)
			end
		end)
	end)
	player:LoadCharacter()
end)

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

You should store the position in a variable instead.

Ok I thought I was doing that what’s the difference between that and local revspot

#4

Oh, I didn’t read this correctly. Try using :GetPivot and :PivotTo instead of the primary part methods.

You should also be getting the revspot position before the wait(5).
