Why does a red flash sometimes appear when spawning the player?

I don’t know if this has to do with the character spawning, but “sometimes” a red flash appears when the player spawns (at least testing in Studio).

Probably because I follow the following sequence:

  1. At the beginning of the Server script, I turn off the AutoLoad of the Character with Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false (so this will be the default for all players who enter the game).
  2. When a player enters the game, I do some processing inside PlayerAdded
  3. At the end of processing in PlayerAdded, I load the character Player:LoadCharacter()

I already tried to put this sentence at the and of the LocalScript’s PlayerAdded:

StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Health, false)

But it seems that it made no difference.
What could be causing this red flash when the player spawns?

I run a custom PlayerAdded function inside LocalScript in by calling a RemoteEvent:FireClient to this function at end of Server’s PlayerAdded.

But your comment doesn’t answer my question.

The red flash, I believe, is the damage indicator. I’m not sure if disabling it is possible.

It activates when the player’s humanoid health changes majorly in comparison to their maximum health.

it probably could be an effect that when youre changing MaxHealth of a player cuz i changed it and i kinda got a red flash but idk how i fixed it

Happens sometimes in my 1v1 Doomspire game. It’s likely because the health/maxhealth is being modified. When does this happen? Can you show a video/picture if possible?

#7

If you are moving a player into a different humanoid, that may happen sometimes. But if it is with StarterCharacter, IDK.

I think I solved the problem:

StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Health, false) is indeed the way to avoid this red flash effect.

The problem was, as I mentioned in the OP, I was putting this sentence AT THE END of my PlayerAdded function in LocalScript.
Changing this sentence to the beginning of LocalScript, at least so far, I haven’t noticed this effect again.
