I have a problem.
I am attempting to make a game, where you do not have a character (OpenTTD, Planet Coaster) and I am trying to delete the charcter. But it deletes the whole workspace!
-- This script runs in StarterCharacterScripts.
script.Parent:Destroy()
I mean im not sure why it’s deleting the baseplate but when you do delete the character it does spit out a couple errors.
Instead, I’d recommend you hide the character either by making it fully transparent or placing it in another part of the map and then create a custom camera
Although you can continue with your idea, but I ain’t sure why it’s deleting the baseplate
WAIT! Never mind, you’re not calling the .new function on Vector3.
You’re doing:
Vector3(num, num, num)
When it should be:
Vector3.new(num, num, num)
Hence why it’s erroring “Attempt to call a table value” because you put parenthesis after the Vector3 constructor which is a table and NOT a method
I did the Vector3.new thingy btw later. Its just me forgetting things to add to the code.
So… I mean the Workspace is still there from what is seems.
I am also trying to lower the data the game needs to load.
I meant that it kind of reseted it? Like you do a factory reset on a pc, that happens with the workspace. The baseplate you are seeing is made with the console later on.
Ah, maybe instead of doing script.Parent:Destroy() you could explicitly define the Character and THEN destroy it Character:Destroy() maybe explicitly defining it will work. Who knows til you try it?
Ah well that is basically doing the same thing as the previous code. What I meant it “hardcode” define it like:
local Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character or game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
Character:Destroy()
Like defining the character (I know the script is in the Character but maybe the script’s parent changes to the Workspace or something like that).
The script is Legacy, there is no LocalPlayer.
Hm maybe set Archivable to false for all of the stuff in your baseplate
Just make sure there’s a humanoid under the parent, then delete.
That doesn’t work. Archivable just means something won’t be saved, it doesn’t mean something can’t be deleted… (Unless I haven’t been educated)
To delete your player’s character, you need to set the Archivable to true, and then you can delete it or just do Character:ClearAllChildren().
Oh, always thought it meant it couldn’t be archived or deleted / gettin rid of
Tried deleting the Humanoid before deleting the whole character.
The only thing I can say after that, it did the same + spamming in output.
Maybe just make the character transparent instead or do so from a LocalScript
local Client = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Client.Character or Client.CharacterAdded:Wait()
Character.Archivable = true
Character:Destroy()
-- Or you can do
Character:ClearAllChildren()
