How to achieve something like FallPartsDestroyHeight to a player in a script?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello.
I am making a monster in which if it touches you, your player will “disappear” making it look like the monster consumed the player (The monster is a shadow by using particle effects). I want the player to respawn after disappearing.

I tried using functions like “:Destroy()” on the player in the script but the player won’t respawn. Any way to achieve something like this?

#2

if the player “disappears”, that doesn’t mean their dead… right?

#3

Oh no, theyre totally dead at that point.

#4

This is a basic example:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(t)
	local Hum = t.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") -- Humanoid
	if Hum then -- if Humanoid Exists
		Hum.Health = 0 -- Kills Player
		for _,i in t.Parent:GetDescendants() do -- iterates through Character
			if not i:IsA("Humanoid") then -- if Instances arent a Humanoid
				i:Destroy() -- Destroys Instances
			end
		end
	end
end)

The not Removing the Humanoid is so there aren’t any errors with specific events that fire for the Humanoid
However you can just do: if i:IsA("BasePart") then

FallenPartsDestroyHeight only Destroys BaseParts so this would make an ideal sufficient script

there’s a function called :LoadCharacter() from the Player object.

you can have a look at the code example here:
https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Player#LoadCharacter

though :LoadCharacter() can only be called from the server, you can use a RemoteEvent to send a request to the server to respawn the player using a TextButton or ImageButton

note that .CharacterAutoLoads must be false in order for :LoadCharacter() to have any effect.

LoadCharacter just Repsawns the Character Instantly, I dont think thats what he wants.

I implemented that in my script but it doesn’t seem to be working. I seem to die, but I don’t disappear?

Here is my script:

local SCP017 = script.Parent.Parent.ShadowPerson
local Killsound = script.Parent.Kill
local Killsound2 = script.Parent.Kill2
local Killsound3 = script.Parent.Kill3
local Killsound4 = script.Parent.Kill4
local TargetBrick = script.Parent.Parent.TargetBrick
local Particle = script.Parent.Parent.ParticleBlock.ParticleEmitter
local VictimHide = script.Parent.Parent.VictimHide

local Attacking = false

function onTouch(part) 
	local humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") 
	if (humanoid ~= nil) and humanoid.Health > 0 and Attacking == false then
	Attacking = true
		local KillSoundRandomizer = math.random(1,4)
		if KillSoundRandomizer == 1 then
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
			SCP017.WalkSpeed = 0
			humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
			humanoid.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
			wait(1)
			Particle.Size = NumberSequence.new(1,7)
			wait(.6)
			SCP017.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
			Killsound:Play()
			wait(.4)
			script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(t)
				if humanoid then -- if Humanoid Exists
					humanoid.Health = 0 -- Kills Player
					for _,i in humanoid.Parent:GetDescendants() do -- iterates through Character
						if not humanoid:IsA("Humanoid") then -- if Instances arent a Humanoid
							humanoid:Destroy() -- Destroys Instances
						end
					end
				end
			end)
			VictimHide.Transparency = 0
			wait(8)
			humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
			VictimHide.Transparency = 1
			Particle.Size = NumberSequence.new(7,1)
			SCP017.WalkSpeed = 50
			SCP017.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
		end
	Attacking = false
end 
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

I’ve never used for _,i ever so I may have messed something up.

Yep. I want the players body to be gone, but the camera to stay until they automatically respawn.

#9

Make an exception for the head which makes it transparent and not destroyed. If you destroy the head, the character dies.

#10

I want the character to die. But this helps! I’ll be sure to keep this in mind in case I want to implement this in the future. Thank you!

#11

Nevermind. I just played around with the variables and got it running. Thank you so much man! I understand a little bit more now. Thanks for everyone that took their time to reply to this thread!
