How do I detect/load in the player?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to load in a character into my game but I do not know how.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    When I test my game in studio it does not automatically load in.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I tried making a simple script to load them in but I don’t think it works.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	print(plr.Name.." joined the game!")
end)

Uhhh, what version of Studio is this? This version of Studio doesn’t have the play solo feature.

Use

plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
end)

I think I may get what you mean,

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
    if characterthen   
	print(plr.Name.." joined the game!")
end
end)
end)

I think for this version, you do game.Players:CreateLocalPlayer(0) and then game.Players.LocalPlayer:LoadCharacter()

If this is Clonetrooper’s Studio think from 2007, you need to actually make the local player. Let me quickly get the script so you can loadfile it

loadfile("rbxasset://../../extra/scripts/PlaySolo.lua")()

-- Services
local Visit = game:service("Visit")
local Players = game:service("Players")
local RunService = game:service("RunService")

-- Create Player
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if not player then
	player = game.Players:createLocalPlayer(0)
end

local function waitForChild(parent,childName)
	local child
	
	while true do
		child = parent:findFirstChild(childName)
		
		if child then
			break
		else
			parent.ChildAdded:wait()
		end
	end
	
	return child
end

local function onChanged(property)
	if property == "Character" then
		local humanoid = waitForChild(player.Character, "Humanoid")
		
		humanoid.Died:connect(function ()
			wait(5)
			player:LoadCharacter()
		end)
	end
end

player.Changed:connect(onChanged)
player:LoadCharacter()

-- Start the game.
RunService:run()
