Loading character model clone issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, I’m trying to make it so if the leaderstats == 1 (as example), the player’s character changes to a different character model inside ServerStorage that contains Humanoid, Head etc. Also on join/or during game and if/when they die, they respawn as the updated changed character.

I’ve been testing but I’m only able to get it to work once then it no longer works if player dies/respawns. But when player dies, it keeps respawning and also respawning multiple cloned character models for some reason.

I looked on Google, YouTube and DevForum but not find a solution to this little issue.

This is the serverscript code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()

-- The Gems word is just for testing.
if plr.stats.Gems.Value == 0 then
	
	local armor = game.ServerStorage.Armor.OverseerArmor:Clone()
    armor.Name = plr.Name
    plr.Character = armor
    armor.Parent = workspace
    plr:LoadCharacter()

end

    end)
end)

You are only checking if this happens when the character is added to the game.

Check when the gems change.

plr.stats.Gems.Changed:Connect(function(new)
    if new == 0 then
        -- Do something

    end
end)

You have to delete that line, it’ll start an endless loop because loadcharacter respawns the character and fires characterAdded, and when character Added is fired that function runs which reloads the character etc. That’s why it keeps repeating that function.

I removed plr:LoadCharacter() but when the player spawns in after death. 2-5 cloned characters spawn and the player dies and respawns again still.

I tried / tested that code and nothing seemed to work.

Are you loading a completely custom character or just a standard Roblox rig with different accessories/clothing? It looks like you are doing the later, you might want to consider LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription()

Edit: Helpful link

I’m doing something similar how StarterCharacter works.
Basically for example. If player joins server or respawns and they are Level.Value 1, they get Overseer Armor thats inside a Model like StarterCharacter and their character appearance changes to the Overseer Armor appearance.

In my Overseer Armor Model, I have the following:

  • Body Colours
  • Humanoid
  • Hat/Accessories
  • All Body Parts (Used Overseer bundle thats on the Avatar Shop)

Also if player is now Level.Value = 2, the character appearance changes from Overseer Armor to Redcliff Armor (as example)

If you are using roblox packages you should use LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription()
Just make a HumanoidDescription with the overseer bundle ids, place it in ServerStorage and then when the player joins do something like this:

Local description = game:GetService(“ServerStorage”).HumanoidDescritption

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription(description)
end)

(Note: I just typed this up and have not checked for any bugs)

Thanks it worked! But now when I die/respawn, my character goes back to default. You know how to make it so if I die, the loaded HumanoidDescription keeps loading?

You will need to turn off CharacterAutoLoads. When you do this it will not respawn the player’s character so you will need to make your own respawn script that respawns the character with your humanoid description. At the bottom of this link here you will find an example of how to do this. You will need to change line 12 in the example from LoadCharacter() to LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription() for your use.
