How to use Player:LoadCharacter() in a local script in Starter GUI?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

yours didnt work so hopefully @Tornado_chaser04 's works

#43

So adding on to what @Tornado_chaser04 said the code should look like this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player))
local char = player.Character
if char then
   local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
      if humanoid then
         humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
            player.PlayerGui.GUI.Enabled = true
         end)
      end
   end
end)

Note change “GUI” to the name of your GUI

#44

Also what I previously posted wasn’t supposed to enable the ui but rather show you how to connect something to a players death

#45

do you know where I should put the script?

#46

ServerScriptService

30 CHAAARS

#47

ok but why did u say 30 CHAAARS?

#48

Yes and make sure the character actually exists though, since this is running when a player gets added and the character doesn’t exists when the game has been initialized then it will error

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player))
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
   local char = player.Character
end)
if not success then
   repeat 
      char = player.Character
      wait()
   until char
end
if char then
   local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
      if humanoid then
         humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
         --Turn on the enabled property of the UI to make the UI visible again.
         end)
      end
   end
end)

This would guarantee that the character is recognized by the server in case you are the first player in the server and the scripts run before your character even loads.
This script would be in ServerScriptService

I needed to get to the character minimum

#50

Yes I agree with @Tornado_chaser04 you should 100% check if the character is alive

#51

So once again adding to @Tornado_chaser04 the final code for that script should be

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player))
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
   local char = player.Character
end)
if not success then
   repeat 
      char = player.Character
      wait()
   until char
end
if char then
   local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
      if humanoid then
         humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
             player.PlayerGui.GUI.Enabled = true
         end)
      end
   end
end)

Once again change “GUI” to the name of your ScreenGui. Script Location: ServerScriptService

But its giving me errors on char

#53

I think you should probably instance a value (eg. boolValue or stringValue) to the player when they load their chosen character and then in the humanoid.Died event, check if the value exists. If the value doesn’t exist, then set the Enabled property to true.

...
--Server Script
Player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription(humanoidDescription) -- I'm assuming this is how you load their humanoid description
local Loaded = Instance.new("boolValue",Player.Character)
Loaded.Name = "Loaded"

--Local Script
humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
   if not character:FindFirstChild("Loaded") then
      player.PlayerGui.GUI.Enabled = true
   end
end)

I’m not sure if this works or not because Roblox is down for me right now.
