custom respawn system not functioning correctly

[zenith dew]

please don't be rude or passive aggressive, i'm new to roblox lua and i'm around the intermediate stage i would say, all i want is just a little bit of help fixing this

so my project has custom characters, two of them to be exact and they are team based, so with that i have to create a custom respawn system since the regular roblox respawn system doesn't function well with my models (it resets the player back to their avatar)

i keep having this glitch where the character stays dead after dying, never respawns. i've been trying multiple things like using loadcharacter after dying but that breaks the whole script, anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? also i want methods to improve my script over all, as well, if anyone is willing to provide that
i'm not asking for a new script btw just some help with the glitch that keeps happening and some ways to improve but really what i seriously need is the glitch to be fixed LOL.

(this is a script in the serverscriptservice)

i can also provide a video of the output and when u die just for a better understanidning

[rich reef]

ye do that

[zenith dew]

okie dokie

gimme a second then

uhm okay one second i have to change the script a little bit bc fpr some reason the character change isn't working now gimme a moment

extremely minor changes yeah wtv point is here's the vid
https://streamable.com/9vyzfk

from what it looks like it doens't seem like the humanoid.died event is firing at all

[rich reef]

hmm

do u have

actually ok

publish

and test it in game

im guessing it should work there

[zenith dew]

hmmm rlly? alr one second then

but yeah ut's published lemme try it there then

why should it work there though?

[rich reef]

sometimes ur character loads before the script when testing on studio

so characteradded doesnt fire

[zenith dew]

ah damn alr makes sense

i usually use studio to test features, should i instead do it in the actual roblox player?

[rich reef]

not really

there is a way to

solve this

[zenith dew]

hmmmm teach me then

[rich reef]

ok

so when player loads

server shouldnt auto spawn them

so disable autoloadcharacter or whatever the setting was called

[zenith dew]

shit one seocnd i'm opening roblox i can't use discord when it's open cuz my pc is crap

[rich reef]

when players game is finished loading

it should fire a remote to server

then the server should spawn them

[zenith dew]

nah nvm same glitch happens in the player too

[rich reef]

hm ok lemme check the script

[zenith dew]

yep it is

alrighty

[zenith dew]

ohhhhhhhhhh

yeah makes ense

sense

gosh i had this feeling that i should've been using remote events the whole time yeah makes sense

[rich reef]

a

@zenith dew

aight so

[zenith dew]

yeh?

[rich reef]

your respawning the player

BEFORE u add the characteradded evnt

change the places of those

[zenith dew]

oh frigg

hmmmm

i thought the loadcharacter function created a new character though
when i didn't add it, the character didn't spawn at all

the newmodel function only affects existing characters

[rich reef]

no no

ok look

ur telling the server to track new characters

but u respawn the player before telling the server to track

so when u respawn the characteradded doesnt run

the characteradded code there should be at the top

then u should respawn the player

[zenith dew]

hmmmm alright yeah i get it

i think hmmm

so how would i write the code?

[rich reef]

just put the player:LoadCharacter() and newmodel part at the bottom

[rich reef]

the top ones here

[zenith dew]

okay so
under characteradded?

[rich reef]

no outside

have characteradded connected first

[zenith dew]

okay er alright one second

so at the bottom of this whole

thing

like that? or not

[rich reef]

yes

[zenith dew]

alright awesome

hmmm okay

so should i create this into a remote event now?

or is there more changes i should make still

[rich reef]

nah that remote event thing is

not always needed

[zenith dew]

okay

[rich reef]

what ur doing is fine

[zenith dew]

alrighty then
so should i test it and see if it works now?

[rich reef]

y

[zenith dew]

okie

OH UHM OKAY SO THE OUTPUT IS BEING SPAMMED RN

IT KEEPS RELOADING MY CHRACTER WTF

[rich reef]

uhh

i dont think

player.Character

would work

[zenith dew]

huh why not?

also it gave thjis

[rich reef]

well i never saw someone setting player.character before

[zenith dew]

i'm guesisng that's just random eror rthough

oh srsly?

[rich reef]

it has to do with ur custom character i am guessing

u sure ur custom character is alive?

[zenith dew]

i seen alotta ppl on the dev forum using player.character

yeah

it has health n all

[zenith dew]

ah damn

[rich reef]

actually

remove newmodel from the bottom

u do it inside characteradded anyway

[zenith dew]

alrighty

[rich reef]

also should change ur logic inside humanoid.died

teleport the player inside characteradded not

humanoid died

humanoid died should just call loadcharacter after a wait

[deft horizon]

yo can rq paste the script in

[zenith dew]

aaaaand alright it's still spamming

[zenith dew]

oh yeah that makes ense

sense*

[zenith dew]

sure

mmmmmmmm sry it hit the character limit

[deft horizon]

okay thats good

[zenith dew]

lemme do this rq

alr nvm it just keeps respawning me

idfk why it's acting like there's some kind of while loop it just keeps doing this one thing over and over again

[rich reef]

remove newmodel and try işt again

try to narrow it down

[zenith dew]

inside characteeradded?

[fickle kettle]

** You are now Level 6! **

[rich reef]

ye just add -- at the start of it

so we can find which function is

causing it

[zenith dew]

alright
i tried it and it stopped spamming and reloading my character constantly

so yeah i think it has smthn to do with the newmodel function then

[deft horizon]

is characterautoloads on or off

[zenith dew]

off

[deft horizon]

k

[rich reef]

ye im thinking the way u set ur custom character is the problem

depending on ur custom character u can do something else

[zenith dew]

hmmm okay
they're just humanoids rlly normal robloxians, no custom animations

or custom scripts

[rich reef]

ye then no need for

custom characters

just clothe the player character

[zenith dew]

alrighttt

how would i go about doing that? i saw a while ago there was a setting for custom clothing n all but i don't think that's what i want

[rich reef]

remove players shirt and clothing instances

then clone in ur own

thats it really

[zenith dew]

alright
i can change the brick colour of the player, right? and the face decal n all and add accessories?

hmmm but

wait

the custom characters are team specific

[rich reef]

yea

[zenith dew]

woulkd i still be able to do that?

[rich reef]

why not

if team a then shirt a

if team b then shirt b

[zenith dew]

okay

is this done through a script or nah?

[rich reef]

it is

done through a script yes

just clone and set parent

[zenith dew]

alright hmmm

okay thx i'll try that

so after that my issues should be fixed yeah?

[rich reef]

should be

[zenith dew]

alrighty thx dude for the help :>.

[rich reef]

yo welcome

[deft horizon]

yo back prolly try using breakpoints to debug this code and checking state, character and stuff

dont think u need it now though

[zenith dew]

oh yedah i've seen breakpoints
i'm not exactly sure what they do though

[deft horizon]

basically they stop the script right before that line and then in the script you can check the variables and stuff and see if they have the correct references and more

u can try reading this

** You are now Level 6! **

[zenith dew]

thx m8

i needed that

:>

yo okay for some reason my for loop isn't working idfk why

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")

local function newPlayerModel(player)
    task.wait()
    local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
    
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
            for i,v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
                if v:IsA("Accessory") or v:IsA("Decal") or v:IsA("Clothing") then
                    v:Destroy()
                end
            end
            
        task.wait(1)
        if player.Team.Name == "Illumina" then
            InsertService:LoadAsset(109334885793612).Parent = char -- Wings

        elseif player.Team.Name == "Darkheart" then

        end
    end)
end

just striahgt up isn't working
