I have this plot system that loads players plots. And when it’s done that, it spawns the player in. However, I am having issues where even after the plot has supposedly fully loaded in and I even wait 7 whole seconds before spawning the character in, on occassion the player can spawn inside the ground.
What I do is, because players can build over their spawn, is I place their spawn in the sky, raycast vertically down until a block is found, then add 10 studs up, so player can spawn on top of block safely.
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
task.wait()
-- Spawn player at spawn
local Params = RaycastParams.new()
Params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {PlotInfo.Plot}
Params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Whitelist
local NewRay = workspace:Raycast(
PlotInfo.Plot.Spawn.Position,
-PlotInfo.Plot.Spawn.CFrame.UpVector * 1000,
Params
)
if NewRay then -- Part found, spawn there
character:PivotTo(
NewRay.Instance.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)
)
else -- No ray, just spawn at spawn part
character:PivotTo(PlotInfo.Plot.Spawn.CFrame)
end
end)
function PlotManager:Load()
local PlayersPlotData = PlotData:GetAsync(self.Owner.UserId .. "-" .. self.PlotId)
local BlockCount = 0
if PlayersPlotData then -- Save exists, apply changes
self.Plot.Blocks:ClearAllChildren() -- Remove all blocks from default Plot
-- Collect all BlockData and create the blocks
for x, xContents in pairs(PlayersPlotData) do
for y, yContents in pairs(xContents) do
for z, block in pairs(yContents) do
local BlocksData, ExtraData, ExtraSlab, ExtraSlabData = self:Deserialize(block)
if BlocksData then -- BlockData exists
local BlockModel = Blocks:FindFirstChild(BlocksData.Name)
if BlockModel then -- Get the blocks model
self:CreateBlock(BlockModel, ExtraData, x, y, z)
BlockCount += 1
end
end
if ExtraSlab then -- Extra slab
local BlockModel = Blocks:FindFirstChild(ExtraSlab.Name)
if BlockModel then -- Get the blocks model
self:CreateBlock(BlockModel, ExtraData, x, y, z)
BlockCount += 1
end
end
end
end
end
end
task.wait(7) -- Give plot time to fully be loaded in
if not self.Owner or not self.Owner.Parent then return end -- Left
CharacterManager.Load(self.Owner) -- Plot loaded, load in player
self.PlotLoaded = true
end
As you can see, I get and create all the blocks in the for loop. Then once that’s done I wait a whole 7 seconds (I don’t want to do that but I find myself continously just adding more and more seconds into this wait cause of how long the blocks take to load)
As you can also see, I tried doing like a BlockCount, but that goes from 0 to 1982 (blocks in my plot) in a split second, so like I said, nothing in the for loop yields, and to my knowledge there should be no delay between a block being cloned and put into workspace
I would have thought once I create and parent a part to workspace, it’d be there instantly, but I don’t know why there’s such a large delay between them all being added when there’s no yielding involved.
