Loading screen not working with CharacterAutoLoads off

So i made a loading screen. And i turn off CharacterAutoLoads so that the character doesn’t load during the loading screen and the title screen. The thing is the code doesn’t run past the print(3.5) and i honestly have no idea why.

is there any console errors before the print(3.5) being run?

try printing booleans. If it is not running past print(3.5), then something is happening before this print

#4

Nope, i don’t see any errors at all.

#5

It does print indeed print the module, so it can’t be that.

Try enabling CharacterAutoLoads, just for checking if the problem is the actual character load

I should probably add that there is a separate LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts that clones every ScreenGui from StarterGui to PlayerGui.

for __, Obj in ipairs(Starter_GUI:GetChildren()) do
	if not Obj:IsA("LocalScript") then
		local Clone = Obj:Clone()
		Clone.Parent = Player_Gui
	end
end
#8

Also, try printing all of the variables that are before the print 3.5, just for checking if they are an actual component of the game

#9

It does indeed work if i have CharacterAutoLoads on, but not if it’s off.

#10

No, that does not seem like the reason of the problem, I guess.

#11

try using Player:LoadCharacter() at the start of the script

#12

The script is located inside character?

#13

If the script is inside the character scripts, then it might be that the script is not loading due to the character never loading until the loading screen

#14

It printed every single one of them so it can’t be that

#15

It’s in ReplicatedFirst since this is a loading screen.

#16

It doesn’t work because this is on the client.

#17

The script is inside ReplicatedFirst, or the loading screen?

#18

Maybe you could try it in the server?

#19

The Loading Screen is in the script which is in ReplicatedFirst.

#20

True. Maybe you could try checking if the playeradded, and then you can do the loading screen for the player that added
