Thanks for your report! To confirm, the rbxlx does not contain a StarterPlayerScript? The current expected behavior is to not create this if it does not exist.

Hi, thanks for your reply :slight_smile:

To confirm, yes - as described in the linked GitHub issue, all three of the following must be true for this behavior to occur:

  • there is a StarterPlayer defined in the file;
  • there is a StarterCharacterScripts defined in the file;
  • there is not a StarterPlayerScripts defined in the file.
