How do I make it so when a player dies they spectate another player instead of respawning?

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    When you die, instead of just respawning at a SpawnLocation/SpawnPoint, you won’t, you’ll be spectating a random player in the game.

Set the CharacterAutoLoads property to false on the server like this:

game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false

Then load the player in when you want them to load in

Firstly you’d want to disable the setting under Players, called ‘CharacterAutoLoad’, so the character does not load in after they die.

You’d then want to write a LocalScript once a character dies, modifying their CurrentCamera (in the workspace) - by firstly changing the camera type and then camera subject.

Finally, once you have done both of these, you can then manually load the player by firing a remote event that loads the players’ character.
