Hello Robloxians !!

I have a problem with the Sit() function of a Seat.

I get this error: Sit : param is not a Humanoid or humanoid is dead.

Code

Players.CharacterAutoLoads is disabled.
Server-Side Script

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		-- local Seat = ...
		Seat:Sit(Humanoid)
	end)
	
	Player:LoadCharacter()
end)

Please help me :sob:

Sorry I made a mistake in writing the code but I put the Humanoid.

check if the humanoid is nil, if it is, then reload the character and try sitting them again

It doesn’t change anything. I added:

if not Humanoid then
    Player:LoadCharacter()
end
#6

does the player exist when you try sitting them

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

        Seat:Sit(Humanoid)
    end)

    Player.CharacterAutoLoads = true
end)

LoadCharacter will kill the humanoid, causing the error.

they said characterautoloads is off, which is why they used loadcharacter

Then set it to true:

Player.CharacterAutoLoads = true

i think instead of loading the character by code, just let them load in automatically, then disable characterautoloads

I don’t want to do that, that’s precisely why I load it via the script.

Well your problem is the humanoid is dying because it’s getting respawned, which is causing the error. Something like this might work:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        wait(5)
        local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

        Seat:Sit(Humanoid)
    end)

    Player:LoadCharacter()
end)

Don’t want to add a wait(5) because the player waits for 5 seconds while the game is ready.

#14

Then you’re out of luck. Add a loading screen.

As I said multiple times, your error is happening because the humanoid is dead, due to you resetting the character.

You can quickly set CharacterAutoLoads to true, and set it to false after, but that’s about all you can do.

I do not reset the character because Players.CharacterAutoLoads is false and the user has just joined the game.

#16

I just tested with Players.CharacterAutoLoads = true and I still have the same error.

#17

Did you remove the Player:LoadCharacter()?

I deleted that, and now nothing works anymore.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        repeat task.wait() until Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
        local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid -- removed the findfirstchild because we know the humanoid exist and findfirstchild very slightly makes the script slower

        Seat:Sit(Humanoid)
    end)

    Player:LoadCharacter()
end)
