Is there a way to disable StarterCharacter

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, Roblox developers!

I’m new to the DevForum, so sorry if I make any mistakes.

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to create a system where if a developer joins the game, the StarterCharacter is disabled for them.

  2. What is the issue? I just began scripting not long ago, so I don’t know how to make a system like this.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? No solutions so far, I’m looking for help on how to create it.

Here is my script so far, as I’ve stated, I’m seeking scripting help so there isn’t much.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local StarterCharacter = game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacter
	
	local PlayerId = 620047192
	
	if Player.UserId == PlayerId then
		--I don't know what to do here, I want to disable StarterCharacter if I join the game
	end
end)

You could use HumanoidDescriptions and apply them via Humanoid:ApplyDescription

local HumanoiDescription; -- Path to HumanoidDescription
local PlayerId = 620047192

local function CharacterAdded(Character)
	Character.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(inst)
		if inst:IsA("Humanoid") then
			inst:ApplyDescription(HumanoidDescription)
		end
	end)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if not Player.UserId == PlayerId then
		if Player.Character then
			CharacterAdded(Player.Character)
		end
		
		Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(CharacterAdded)
	end
end)

If i remenber correctly, u have to put a character called “Starter Character” in StarterPlayer, so just disable character AutoLoads and then just Load the StarterCharacter if the player isn’t a dev with plr:LoadCharacter() or else if the player is a dev just copy the starterCharacter, remove the old one, set the clone parent to ReplicatedStorage And then Load the Dev’s Character so it will load his Character instead of the default one and then copy again the cloned char and put it back in StarterPlayer but you will also have to Load The player’s character when they died because we disabled the character Auto Loads. There is Probably a Better way of doing that because i think there will be some problems with this method if for example 2 Players join at the same time, Hope it helped you !

Off the top of my head:

local function add(chr)
   if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(chr) then
      if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(chr).UserId == 620047192 then
         chr.Head.Anchored = true
         chr.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
         chr:WaitForChild("Shirt")
         chr:FindFirstChildOfClass("Shirt").ShirtTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=8012290488"
         chr:WaitForChild("Pants")
         chr:FindFirstChildOfClass("Pants").PantsTemplate = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=8012294238"
         --[[ Optional, for Hat in SS:
         local hat = game:GetService("ServerStorage").hat:Clone()
         hat.Parent = chr
         hat.Position = chr.Head.HatAttachment.WorldPosition
         hat.Orientation = chr.Head.HatAttachment.Orientation
         ]]--
         chr.Head.Anchored = false
         chr.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
      end
   end
end

game.Workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(add)
