How to make a Refresh Command

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am wondering how to make a /refresh command for my game. I have successfully done this before, but the camera moves. Is there a way I can refresh a player’s character without the camera moving?

Thanks for your time!

#2

What do you mean when you say the camera moves? You mean when your character refreshes, the camera should freeze in place?

#3

When I refresh the character the player’s camera changes angles. I am hoping to make the camera stay in the same angle unless the player moves it manually.

#4

Set the CameraType to scriptable, it shouldn’t change when the player respawns.

hmmm that doesn’t seem to be working. I may be doing it wrong. Here is my script v

local Command = "/re" or "/refresh"

workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(chr) 
		player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
			
			if msg:sub(1, Command:len()):lower() == Command:lower() then
				
				pcall(function()
					local Pos = player.Character:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
					player:LoadCharacter()
					player.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Pos)
					if player.Character:FindFirstChild("ForceField") then
						player.Character["ForceField"]:Destroy()
					end
				end)
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

Gotcha.

I’m a little confused as to what you mean though. Does your game have a custom camera system?

If so, or you want to keep it stationary for another reason, you should probably use a remote function to do it as :LoadCharacter can only be called from the server.

local func = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').RemoteFunction
local players = game:GetService('Players')

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
        if msg:sub(1, Command:len()):lower() == Command:lower() then
            func:InvokeClient(player) -- this will yield until it receives a response from the client
            player:LoadCharacter()
        end
    end
end

Then your local script,

local func = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').RemoteFunction

func.OnClientInvoke = function()
    workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
    return
end

The camera stays in place, although the character goes back to the spawn and I my camera doesnt go back to the character.

#9

I’m a little confused as to what you mean haha. Do you want it to go back to their character once they spawn?

#10

Sorry I just realized the wording on that message was trash. What I mean is the camera stays in the same place while the character goes back to spawn. I would love if the character would stay where it was before, simular to the /refresh command in TTD3.

#11

Ohhh gotcha.

Not sure what that game is but I think it’s possible by using GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId.

Try this out:

local players = game:GetService('Players')

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
	    if msg:sub(1, Command:len()):lower() == Command:lower() then
            local newHumanoidDescription = players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(player.UserId)
            local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
            local humanoid = character:WaitForChild('Humanoid')
            humanoid:ApplyDescription(newHumanoidDescription)
		end
	end)
end)
