So im developing a game, and i need to manually respawn player, to do so i disabled the character auto load and used a 15 lines of code to make players spawn, it worked but it gives some problem with the character, it somehow was loading character and then player or something like that and it’s not the best thing to have to be honest. So, i want to make a custom spawn system that follows the roblox spawning process or similar so i dont have problems with character and stuff, but i don’t know how to, or where to start from.
(P.S. I don+t have the old script since i was gonna remake it.)
heres an idea, does it make sense to have the characteraoutload disabled until needed? So like, it doesnt load the character until i enabled it back and then disable it again?
old script used loadcharacter, and it broke some of my scripts that where waiting for characteradded, thats the whole issue, and idk why, even my npcs that used humanoid takedamage broke and sometime wroked sometime not
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false
local function onPlayerAdded(player)
local function onCharacterAdded(character)
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
end
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)
player:LoadCharacter()
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
it was taken from a documentation i found about spawning and stuff
As mentioned in the documentation, Player.CharacterAdded fires when you call LoadCharacter on the player, I have tested this myself to see if I would run into any issues however, and it worked just fine.
I’m not sure why any script that is using CharacterAdded would break, could you show your script that breaks when using LoadCharacter.
Here is my code
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
-- Respawning player after they die and character gets destroyed
character.Destroying:Once(function()
player:LoadCharacter()
end)
end)
-- Spawning player after 5 seconds
task.delay(5, function()
player:LoadCharacter()
end)
end)
i have an updated version of this one and it works, but here it is:
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local weaponModule = require(ReplicatedStorage.Modules.WeaponModule)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
if child:IsA("Tool") and child:FindFirstChild("Shoot") then
local tool = child
local shootEvent = tool:WaitForChild("Shoot")
if shootEvent then
print("event found")
end
shootEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, mousePosition)
print("shot event from server fired")
weaponModule.Shoot(player, tool, mousePosition)
end)
end
end)
end)
end)
it stops at player added, doesnt go through the characteradded.
It worked fine before i added the character load script
I believe that your script is running just fine, perhaps it’s getting rejected on the if statement, try printing in the console and see if that’s the case.
OOOOH WAIT, i got it, yes it’s the if cuz i moved the event to another folder and forgot to edit the script, man i feel so dumb rn, i’ve been reading this code for days
Now i might have another issue, and it’s about the npcs, sometime they stop working for some reason, they don’t deal dmg
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local PathfindingService = game:GetService("PathfindingService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local humanoid = script.Parent
local root = humanoid.Parent.PrimaryPart
root:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
local targetDistance = script:GetAttribute("TargetDistance")
local stopDistance = script:GetAttribute("StopDistance")
local damage = script:GetAttribute("Damage")
local attackDistance = script:GetAttribute("AttackDistance")
local attackWait = script:GetAttribute("AttackWait")
local lastAttack = tick()
local animator = humanoid:WaitForChild("Animator")
local idleAnimation = script:WaitForChild("Idle")
local walkingAnimation = script:WaitForChild("Walking")
local attackAnimation = script:WaitForChild("Attack")
local idleTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(idleAnimation)
local walkingTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(walkingAnimation)
local attackTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(attackAnimation)
idleTrack:Play()
function findNearestPlayer()
local playerList = Players:GetPlayers()
local nearestPlayer = nil
local distance = nil
local direction = nil
local position = nil
for _, player in pairs(playerList) do
local character = player.Character
if character and character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
local distanceVector = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - root.Position)
if not nearestPlayer then
nearestPlayer = player
distance = distanceVector.Magnitude
direction = distanceVector.Unit
position = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
elseif distanceVector.Magnitude < distance then
nearestPlayer = player
distance = distanceVector.Magnitude
direction = distanceVector.Unit
position = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
end
end
end
return nearestPlayer, distance, direction, position
end
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
local nearestPlayer, distance, direction, position = findNearestPlayer()
if nearestPlayer and distance < targetDistance and distance > stopDistance then
local path : Path = PathfindingService:FindPathAsync(root.Position, position)
if path.Status == Enum.PathStatus.Success then
local waypoints = path:GetWaypoints()
if not walkingTrack.IsPlaying then
walkingTrack:Play()
end
if humanoid.FloorMaterial ~= Enum.Material.Air then
for w, waypoint : PathWaypoint in ipairs(waypoints) do
local waypointPosition = waypoint.Position
local waypointAction = waypoint.Action
if waypointAction == Enum.PathWaypointAction.Jump then
humanoid.Jump = true
end
humanoid:MoveTo(waypointPosition)
humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
end
end
elseif (nearestPlayer and (distance <= stopDistance or distance > targetDistance)) or not nearestPlayer then
humanoid:MoveTo(root.Position)
walkingTrack:Stop()
end
if nearestPlayer and distance <= attackDistance and tick() - lastAttack >= attackWait then
lastAttack = tick()
local humanoid = nearestPlayer.Character.Humanoid
if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 and humanoid:GetAttribute("Block") == 0 then
print("tryna deal some dmg bruh")
attackTrack:Play(0.5,100,1)
humanoid:TakeDamage(damage)
task.wait(attackTrack.Length)
end
end
end)
script started doing this after the char load script
