You can do this in a local script

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Also this one

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()

end)

At that point Char_Num would be nil

Never tried this, but wouldn’t this function just not run since the player leaves before it actually happens?

Yeah no problem. Also I’m not sure what the poster means by “player left, how to solve” so I’m just throwing out info and guessing what they’re asking.

local characters = {}

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
   player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
      characters[player.Name] = character
   end)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
   characters[player.Name] = nil
end)

Wouldn’t the character automatically be set to nil when they leave since the model would be destroyed?

The best way to get the character in my opinion is to do:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Hope this helps!

What do you mean by “crash and stop working forever”

what if PLR_ONE leaves the game?
while the process?

#17 
if PLR_ONE and PLR_TWO then
    -- They're still in the game
end

Edit: Reading this again I realize this only works if they leave in the infinitesimally small time between the lines.
I changed the code
Also if you’re doing :Wait() I’m pretty sure it will infinitely delay the rest of the code. I don’t think you have to do this, maybe check if their character exists and if not find a new player to use.
