Respawn with the same chosen color

[Mostafa45455]

i want to make players respawn with the same color they chose from my gui script cuz everytime they die or reset the color goes back to the default.
i can’t find a way to do it.
i looked around for something like this but didn’t find something helpful.
here’s my script in ServerScriptService that applies colors to players through a gui:

 local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ColorChange")

remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, color)
	for i, part in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
		if part:IsA("BasePart") then
			part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(color)
		end
	end
end)

i think it’s simple and i’m missing something but idk.

I’m not sure what you specifically want here, do you want the player to always keep the color they’ve chose?

[Mostafa45455]

yes exactly, i want them to always respawn with the same color they chose

[StarJ3M]

So even when they leave the game?

[Mostafa45455]

ye it’ll be even better
but not necessarily if it’s harder

[StarJ3M]

In that case, you should make a datastore, detect when a player joins and make a new string value named “playerColor”, make the parent the player that joined and check the datastore to see if the player has a color value or not.

can you show me how it’ll look like in codes since i’m not familiar with datastores and i’m new to coding

[StarJ3M]

You should go and watch some tutorials and go learn the API then. If your new to coding, I recommend you smart small.

[Mostafa45455]

looked into that and it kinda hard and messy, especially cuz i’m using BrickColor on a humanoid, so what if i just want them to just respawn with the same color they chose? not necessarily when they leave the game

Add a .CharactedAdded so it respawns them with the same color.

Fixed code:

--//Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--//Variables
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ColorChange")

--//Tables
local Connections = {}

--//Functions
local function OnCharacterAdded(character, color)
	for i, part in ipairs(character:GetChildren()) do
		if part:IsA("BasePart") then
			part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(color)
		end
	end
end

remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, color)
	local colorConnection = Connections[player]
	
	if colorConnection then
		colorConnection:Disconnect()
		colorConnection = nil
	end

	Connections[player] = player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		OnCharacterAdded(character, color)
	end)
	
	OnCharacterAdded(player.Character, color)
end)

thanks for helping, but i already found help on discord.
here’s the code that worked for me for anyone wondering:

local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ColorChange")

local playerColor = {}

remoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, color)
	for i, part in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
		if part:IsA("BasePart") then
			part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(color)
		end
	end

	playerColor[player] = color
end)

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
	local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
	if player then
		local color = playerColor[player]
		if color then
			for i, part in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
				if part:IsA("BasePart") then
					part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new(color)
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		onCharacterAdded(character)
	end)
end)

for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	if player.Character then
		onCharacterAdded(player.Character)
	end
end
