Refreshing Character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want it so my character refreshes without reseting the camera and keeping the current location of the player so it doesn’t go back to spawn

  2. What is the issue? I don’t know how to do it

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I looked on the dev forum

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	while true do
		plr:LoadCharacter()
		wait(0.1)
	end
end)

i know it’s not the best but i don’t know how i would do it otherwise

You can set the position of the character after refreshing your player.

#3

do you have any sollutions for the camera?

#4

What do you mean by refreshing the character without resetting the camera?

#5

#6

Well, that’s related to you spamming the LoadCharacter function, may I ask what you’re trying to achieve? Is it teleporting the player back to where they died?

#7

Yeah i want it so when they die they are on the same place they died.

#8

I’m basically making a game that automatically refreshes the character so the players outfit updates immediately

#9

I’ll make a script for this rq.

The only way I can think of is to cache the player’s position and then call :LoadCharacter(), and after they respawn and are teleported to a spawn point, you would just move them back to whatever cache you had stored.

This is probably going to be annoying to do without a custom spawn system.

#11

Like save the players position in a variable?

#12

Yes, but you can actually use:

RespawnLocation

Might make it easier.

EDIT: Nvm you can only set it to a spawn instance.

#13

Just save their location when they die and on CharacterAdded teleport them there

#14

That’s exactly what i tried before but i don’t know how to make it work

#15

You can achieve this with GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId and then just apply the newest description to the humanoid

local desc = game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(plr.UserId)

local character = plr.Character

if character then
  character.Humanoid:ApplyDescription(desc)
end

This will basically show their newest avatar without touching anything else.

#17

#18

Oh, they marked this as a solution. I’m not really sure what they were asking for then considering they were saying stuff about positions lol
