My character goes invisible whenever I use this script

Hey guys. I’m currently making a obby that doesn’t use checkpoints that use leaderstats. Whenever I spawn in with this, the checkpoints work, but my character is invisible. Here is what I’ve been using:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local value = Instance.new(“NumberValue”,player)
value.Name = “Checkpoint”
value.Value = 0

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
wait(1)
character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.Levels[“Level”…player.Checkpoint.Value].Position + Vector3.new(0,5,0)
end)
end)

local function SetCheckpoint(player,v)
if tonumber(string.sub(v.Name,6,100000)) > player.Checkpoint.Value then
player.Checkpoint.Value = tonumber(string.sub(v.Name,6,100000))
print(player.Name…" reached Checkpoint “…tonumber(string.sub(v.Name,6,100000))…”!")
end
end

for i,v in pairs(workspace.Levels:GetChildren()) do
if v.ClassName == “Part” then
v.Touched:Connect(function(object)
SetCheckpoint(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(object.Parent),v)
end)
end
end

If anyone could assist me with fixing this, it would be greatly appreciated. Also sorry for the formatting, I couldn’t get the script to copy/paste correctly.

Thanks again!

So we can read it :arrow_down_small:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local value = Instance.new(“NumberValue”,player)
    value.Name = “Checkpoint”
    value.Value = 0

    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
       wait(1)
       character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.Levels[“Level”…player.Checkpoint.Value].Position + Vector3.new(0,5,0)
    end)
end)

local function SetCheckpoint(player,v)
   if tonumber(string.sub(v.Name,6,100000)) > player.Checkpoint.Value then
      player.Checkpoint.Value = tonumber(string.sub(v.Name,6,100000))
      print(player.Name.." reached Checkpoint " ..tonumber(string.sub(v.Name,6,100000)).."!")
   end
end

for i,v in pairs(workspace.Levels:GetChildren()) do
   if v.ClassName == “Part” then
        v.Touched:Connect(function(object)
            SetCheckpoint(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(object.Parent),v)
        end)
    end
end

thanks for that :slight_smile:

Did you find a fix?

I think it is a problem with this line.

no I didn’t figure why the character is invisible but there are some problems with the code

firstly 
v.Touched:Connect(function(object)
    SetCheckpoint(game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(object.Parent),v)
end)

SetCheckpoint will fire many times when the player touches the part because many parts of the player can touch the part, and it will also fire if other parts touch the player.

You should do

v.Touched:Connect(function(object)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(object.Parent)
    if player then
       SetCheckpoint(player,v)
    end
end)

You might also want to add a debounce so it doesnt fire many times over

secondly 
 if tonumber(string.sub(v.Name,6,100000)) > player.Checkpoint.Value then
      player.Checkpoint.Value = tonumber(string.sub(v.Name,6,100000))
      print(player.Name.." reached Checkpoint " ..tonumber(string.sub(v.Name,6,100000)).."!")
 end

that’s a very interesting way of getting the checkpoint, I would put an Attribute in the checkpoint with the number that it is

thirdly 
character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.Levels[“Level”…player.Checkpoint.Value].Position + Vector3.new(0,5,0)

I would use CFrame

Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.Levels["Level"..player.Checkpoint.Value].CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0)
