For loop stops when player respawns

#1

  1. Im trying to make the player move using waypoints.

  2. But when the player dies, the for loop stops when the player respawns.

  3. I tried putting print() function but it dosen’t show it only shows outside of the for loop.

Code:


local waypoints = workspace.WaypOints
local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

if char ~= nil then
for waypoint = 1, #waypoints:GetChildren() do
	humanoid:MoveTo(waypoints:WaitForChild(waypoint).Position)
	humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end
else
	return
end

If you can help me, thank you

I mean you can do:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

local WayPoints = workspace:FindFirstChild("WaypOints") -- I think you might've misspelt WayPoints?

local function moveToWaypoints(humanoid: Humanoid)
    for _, waypoint in pairs(WayPoints:GetChildren()) do
        if humanoid then
            humanoid:MoveTo(waypoint.Position)
            humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
        else
            return
        end
    end
end

local function handleWaypoints()
    local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):: Humanoid

    if humanoid then
        moveToWaypoints(humanoid)
    end
end

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
    local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):: Humanoid

    humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        handleWaypoints()
    end)
end

LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)
handleWaypoints()

Let me know how it goes!

I tried but it dosen’t work when it still respawns?

#4

I might’ve just written it wrong then since I was rushing, take your original code and just make it run with a Humanoid.Died event so it’ll run again or connect it to a CharacterAdded event. The latter is probably better.

i added some changes:


local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

local WayPoints = workspace:FindFirstChild("WaypOints") -- I think you might've misspelt WayPoints?

local function moveToWaypoints(humanoid: Humanoid)
	for waypoint = 1, #WayPoints:GetChildren() do
		if humanoid then
			humanoid:MoveTo(WayPoints:FindFirstChild(waypoint).Position)
			humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
		else
			return
		end
	end
end

local function handleWaypoints()
	local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid"):: Humanoid

	if humanoid then
		moveToWaypoints(humanoid)
	end
end

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):: Humanoid

	humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		handleWaypoints()
	end)
end

LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)
handleWaypoints()

I fixed the problem, its just that the waypoints were unanchored but thanks for helping.
