I'm having a problem with LoadCharacter()

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to use LoadCharacter on a player’s character when they die. Instead, I get this error: image

Here is my code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		hum:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
			if hum.Health == 0 then
				wait(2)
				plr:LoadCharacter()
				print("Loading character...")
			end
		end)
	end)
end)
#2

the error shouldn’t affect the outcome of the script, however, to get rid of it just a second argument to WaitForChild with any int, it will make a timeout. If you don’t want a timeout then ignore the error.

Yep, to explain the error it’s very similar to this other post which faces the same infinite yield problem when using player:LoadCharacter().

TL;DR: character is destroyed but the wait for child is still searching for a humanoid within this destroyed character model.

Additionally, @Thalryxen should disable character auto load like the example script provided in the documentation to avoid character loading conflict with the default spawn system.

game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false
