That is false, I tested this.

#10

What do you mean?

#11

The code I provided should be your solution.

#12

I ran that code (in Studio) and it didn’t print a thing because the Character is gone when they’re leaving.

Works fine in studio, perhaps this is a bug.

#14

When player is leaving

Player.Character is already gone

this is error i got

21:07:52.859 - ServerScriptService.Script:123: attempt to index nil with ‘Humanoid’

In that case, store the player in a table so you can access the instance when they’re leaving.

#16

but we can’t know when player’ll leaving…

#17

Use the event, then access the table.

#18

How ? I don’t understand?

I understand as
store character everytime it added

we can’t because we don’t know when objectvalue will got added.

#19

You can detect this by using __newindex, which is requiring a metatable.

#20

Uhh, sorry i didn’t learning about it yet.

#21

Or should i will store character that will got removing on ServerStorage

#22

Maybe you can look into player.CharacterRemoving instead.

#23

If you want to get the player’s character couldn’t you use the CharacterRemoving event rather than the PlayerRemoving event?

Just like what Syclya said ^

#24

Umm i want to get it before player will got removed

Look my old topic to know i’m doing what.

#25

Why would you want to get the character right before the player gets removed rather than right before when the character gets removed?

#26

by doing this maybe i would do like that

--- example char removing evnet
if game.ServerStorage.Backup:FindFirstChild(char.Name) then
game.ServerStorage.Backup:FindFirstChild(char.Name):Destroy()
end
char:Clone().Parent = game.ServerStorage.Backup
end
#27

i want to get it because im doing combat log system, if player on combat will do something.

#28 
local Players = game:GetService('Players')

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(Character)
		local Check = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)
		if not Check then
			-- they are no longer in game.
		end
	end)
end)

Perhaps something like this (?)
