What fires CharacterRemoving?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to make a respawn system where when the character dies a message is sent to the server via a remote event which removes the character and loads a new one.

I have tried player.Character:Destroy();player.Character:Remove() (which really confuses me) and player:LoadCharacter() but none of them called CharacterRemoving. LoadCharacter only called CharacterAdded.

Player:RemoveCharacter() keeps throwing an error which states that it doesn’t have permission 3. Please could someone explain what permission 3 is.

Also I used LoadCharacter but now the chat doesn’t open when respawning; does anyone know why that is?

I would really like it if all of my questions were answered, specifically the chat problem, any help however will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Get the path to humanoid and do this:

Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()

end)

You can get a function by doing that, and can activate remote events with it.

Thank you very much for this suggestion, but i would still like to know what fires CharacterRemoving?

This says:
“The CharacterRemoving event fires right before a player’s character is removed, such as when the player is respawning.” If this answers your question.

I’ve read that, and what confuses me is that player.Character:Remove() doesn’t fire CharacterREMOVING or that player:RemoveCharacter() is shown in the api-reference as being executable in a script by showing an example, but when attempting to use it in both a local script and a server script, it kept saying (lacking permission 3). So I’m still confused. Is there a method/function that specifically respawns a character in a way that fires CharacterRemoving?

I have realised the problem, when a character script uses CharacterRemoving, it does not have enough time to execute the connected function before both the character and the script (being a descendant of the character) is destroyed.

Therefore, when using CharacterRemoving, the script using the RBXScriptSignal should NOT be in StarterCharacterScripts

Did you figure out any alternatives?
