Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
What do you believe this will return as it’s value?

#23

That will return the Character instance of the Player, it’s why you also see

local character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

If the character wasn’t loaded before the variable was set up, it waits for it to exist. Using a :Wait() on an event also returns what the event would’ve returned I believe, hence why it works

Yea, checks out. Wasn’t sure if they returned aynthing.

The code looks solid. I like the use of the Heartbeat:Wait() instead of Wait()

I think the same applies to any event that you get a return from, so if you did

local delta = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait()

It would store the deltatime, the time since previous frame, into the variable.

And it’s always a good habit to use Heartbeat:Wait() instead of the typical wait() for things like this, prevents the chance of a long yield haha, unless framerates are bad of course

#26 
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local pos = Vector3.new(496.5, 26, -378.2)

local function spawnPos(char)
game:GetService('RunService').Heartbeat:Wait()
char:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart').Position = pos
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
if player.Character then
spawnPos(player.Character)
end

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(spawnPos)
end)
