Getting Character from Backpack?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Apparantly doing LocalPlayer.Character in the start of a LocalScript in backpack would return the old character. I solved this using

LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

but I would like to know if there is a better method of achieving this, because I feel like that may bug at times.

local Character = LocalPlayer.Character or LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Yes, but that gives me the dead character about to be destroyed. That’s why I used CharacterAdded.

tools parent / Backpack , Backpacks parent / Player , you can get like this

Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean, can you elaborate?
Thank you.

If the script is a descendant of backpack wouldn’t it load every time they spawn?

I don’t know, I’ve never seen something like it. It appears that LocalScripts in Backpack spawn before LocalPlayer.Character is cleared.

Thats weird, in that case I don’t think you’d run into an error using your or my way.
