How do I delay a player from spawning?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’ve been trying to figure out how I can prevent a player from spawning until they press the play button.

Script I have for the play button and Camera:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local PlayButton = script.Parent.Play

repeat wait()
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.CFrame = workspace.CameraPart.CFrame

PlayButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	PlayButton:Destroy()
end)

Can anyone tell me how I could make someone spawn after they press the button?

Just make player max health zero until they click the player button.

Example:

--Server Sided
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
   player.MaxHealth = 0 --This will repeat kill/prevent the player from spawning
end)

--Client sided  
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() --Something like this, it might error though as I don't think I followed syntax.
player.MaxHealth = 100 
end)

Read this article, it has all the information you are asking for. Player | Roblox Creator Documentation, just disable Character auto loading and link the play button to Player:LoadCharacter.

First of All, You Don’t want the Character to Spawn unless they Press the
Button. You Should Put this Inside A Script In ServerScript. And Add a Remote Event in Replicated Storage.

game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false 
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
   Player:LoadCharacter()
end)

Now You Need to Spawn the Character Once The Button Is Clicked.
You Can Use :LoadCharacter for This.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local PlayButton = script.Parent.Play

repeat wait()
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.CFrame = workspace.CameraPart.CFrame

PlayButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	PlayButton:Destroy()
    game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer() -- I Added this Line
end)

So I tried your way but when I tested it, it only showed me the void and nothing else.

Client:

-- Always use WaitForChild and GetService, especially in local scripts

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local PlayButton = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Play")

repeat wait()
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

Camera.CFrame = workspace:WaitForChild("CameraPart").CFrame

PlayButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	PlayButton:Destroy()
    game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent"):FireServer()
end)

Server:

 game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connecg(function(player)
    player:LoadCharacter()
    local character = player.Character or player.Character:Wait()
    character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        player:LoadCharacter()
    end)
end)
How to spawn player(s) only when "Deploy" button is clicked?

Try this For the Server →
I Tested this Out on A Baseplate it It Seemed to Work smoothly.

game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false 

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player:LoadCharacter()
	repeat wait() until Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") -- Loaded Character Humanoid
	Player.Character.Parent = game.ServerStorage -- Store It
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	repeat wait() until game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(Player.Character.Name)
	game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(Player.Character.Name).Parent = game.Workspace
	print("LoadedCharacter")
end)

And This for Client

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local PlayButton = script.Parent.Play

repeat wait()
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.CFrame = workspace.CameraPart.CFrame

PlayButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	PlayButton:Destroy()
    game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end)

Hello. I am new to scripting, and I tried this out. It did not seem to work:

Capture
Capture407×791 64.3 KB

(I feel it unnecessary to say the Script is the Server and LocalScript the Client…)
Did I format this wrong? Is my understanding of the client-server model incorrect? Please help me understand.

your replicatedstorage is empty, there should be a remote event there.
