How do I improve this little script?

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

#21

Does LoadCharacter reset the character?

#22

I think it works in client

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat
	wait()
until
Player.Character
Player.Character.Head:Destroy()
#23

Sadly, this doesn’t work. I didn’t get resetted

#24

Weird.

Also, I wouldn’t set the RespawnTime so low, as it has tendency to break my avatar when I set it below 2-1.

#25

It works fine for me maybe try it again and wait 20-30 seconds?

#26

I did. It doesn’t work for me.

#27

Did you put it in a server script?

#28

Yes. In workspace. Shouldnt be a problem.

#29

Are you sure, because this work fine for me

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	task.delay(20, function()
		Player:LoadCharacter()
	end)
end)
#30

Can you load the char multiple times because I already do it on join in another script but I want it to do after 20 secs again in a different script.

#31

no. doing it on join will break the character or do nothing. just do it in once
