How do I improve this little script?

Hey,

I want that after you joined the game the player gets resetted.
But if I use this code, the player keeps getting resetted because of the CharacterAdded function :confused:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	print('Player Added !')
game.Players.RespawnTime = .2
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		wait(5)
	char.Head:Remove()
	end)
	end)

It’s because your constantly removing the characters Head upon creation. I suggest doing something like this.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	game.Players.RespawnTime = 0.2
	local Character = Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	Character:WaitForChild("Head"):Destroy()
end)

you could also just Destroy the character

Oh, thank you. I will try it out :smiley:

btw instantly removing the characters head upon join will not reset the player.

#5

I just added a wait(5) but somehow the character doesn’t reset for me.

#6

Try just setting the humanoids health to 0

#7

Why are you removing the head? Can’t you just do humanoid:TakeDamage(humanoid.MaxHealth)?

#8

For some reason you can’t kill a character upon join :confused:

#9

If you want to respawn the player after they join, you could use Player | Roblox Creator Documentation

An example would be:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player:LoadCharacter()
end)

Instead of adding a wait(5), you could try adding CharacterAdded:Wait() so the script only runs until the character is fully incorporated into the game. I think @Arthur_Grandwell already used this in his script but I’d like to remind you still of this function.

if not player.Character then player.CharacterAdded:Wait() end

#11 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	game.Players.RespawnTime = 0.2
	local Character = Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	wait(10)
	local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	Humanoid:TakeDamage(Humanoid.MaxHealth)
	
end)

Like that?

#12

The wait(10) is unnecessary, as you are already using CharacterAdded.

#13

you should mark @Poneware as the solution and use his code

#14

Ik, but I want that it only happens 5 or 10 secs after the char spawned

#15

Just do

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	game.Players.RespawnTime = 0.2
Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
	wait(5)
	Player:LoadCharacter()
end)
#16

You might as well change to respawn time manually in the explorer and you can switch the wait with task.wait if you want to wait a few seconds after the char spawns

#17

I see.

If you want to do this, you could try using task.wait() instead as wait() pauses your thread and task.wait() continues normally. I believe wait() also has some small performance issues.

(Here’s a link with more informations about task.wait())

#18

task.wait() still yields the thread, it does the same as wait() but with the new task scheduler.
You could use task.delay() instead as that takes a function and doesn’t yield the current thread.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	game.Players.RespawnTime = 0.2
	local Character = Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	task.wait(20)
	local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	Humanoid:TakeDamage(Humanoid.MaxHealth)
	
end)

Like that?

#20 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	game.Players.RespawnTime = 0.2
	Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	task.delay(20, function()
		Player:LoadCharacter()
	end)
end)

Edit: Yes load character does reset the character

Edit 2: did you wait 20 seconds, because it works fine for me
