Flashing Black Screen When Respawning | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 8:05 AM

#

In my obby whenever I die/respawn the game starts respawning me constantly while the screen flashes black, after about a minute or two it stops and it finally respawns me properly. Weird part is when I play on the account that owns the game it doesnt happen, but when I play on an alt account it does happen. Any help is greatly appreciated

Can you try renamingthe variable spawn? try _spawn instead

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 9:25 AM

#

shadow tulip also is this ai, i can't tell

Some of it but that's just because I spent like an hour trying to fix it so I resorted to the Roblox ai

#

And it didn't help

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 9:25 AM

#

serene quest Can you try renamingthe variable spawn? try _spawn instead

I shall attempt

@teal timber if you want I can sit down with you and teach you the basic concepts of this but I need to see more specifically the local script that's firing the remote

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 4:25 PM

#

shadow tulip send a clip

sorry it took so long

#

just does that

#

for ages

#

then sometimes it fixes after a minute or two

#

and then if you die again it keeps happening

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

teal timber sorry it took so long

is see your problem

#

you have like 20 of the same script that has player.CharacterAdded which runs when a player respawns/joins the game for the first time

#

all does the same thing

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

do I not need it in every checkpoint tho?

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

you can do all that in one main script

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

seriously?

torpid summitBOT Dec 21, 2025, 4:41 PM

studio ** You are now Level 1! ** studio

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

this is what I have rn

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 4:42 PM

#

just put all the checkpoints under a folder in workspace

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 4:42 PM

#

done that

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 4:43 PM

#

then loop through it and connect the touch event from there

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 4:43 PM

#

right

#

so how would I do that exactly...?

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 4:44 PM

#

let me write a concept

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 4:44 PM

#

alr ty

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 4:57 PM

#

local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")

local checkpoints = workspace.CheckPointsFolder

function SetCheckpoints()
    for index, value in checkpoints:GetChildren() do
        value.Touched:Connect(function(basePart)
            if basePart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then

                local character = basePart.Parent
                local player    = PlayerService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)

                local CheckPosition = value:GetAttribute("Checkpoint") -- Vector3 Value

                player:SetAttribute("Checkpoint", CheckPosition)
            end
        end)
    end
end

PlayerService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
        if player:GetAttribute("Checkpoint") then
            character:PivotTo(CFrame.new(player:GetAttribute("Checkpoint"))) -- Position Player
        end
    end)
end)

SetCheckpoints()

#

probably what i would of done

#

just a rough sketch

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 4:58 PM

#

and I'd just make a new script in serverscriptservice and it'd just work?

#

or do I still need the script in checkpoints

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 4:58 PM

#

you don't need a script under every checkpoint part

#

that is bad practice

#

this script will not work if you copy and paste it

#

it's for you to understand how to manage things in 1 main script

#

or a few main scripts

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

yeah but i mean i dont need any scripts at all

#

in the checkpoints?

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

no

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

alr

#

sorry i sound dumb

#

im new to all this

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

it's fine

#

it's a common thing most people do as beginners

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

alrighty

#

also i know this is gonna sound really stupid of me

#

but im getting these scammy popups and I went through all my scripts, models and plugins and i just cant find anything thats causing it

#

like genuinely

#

im so lost

#

i've went through all the models n everything

#

checked for "prompt"

#

"marketplace"

#

in search

#

removed all my plugins

#

still getting stuff like this tho

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:02 PM

#

check free model scripts

#

i never used it but i know people can use something call loadstring

#

which can run code that isn't written inside the game

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

yeah i checked for that already but nothing

torpid summitBOT Dec 21, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 2! ** studio

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

just so confused

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

usually you want to avoid free models

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

yeah i barely used any

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

but if you have to use one, any scripts under the model you can delete

#

it will never spawn outside of model

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

alr

#

so

#

go through all the models

#

and double check

#

basically

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

pretty much

#

another way to tell if it's your plugins is make a new experience and see if the problem persists

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:06 PM

#

either way I deleted all my plugins

#

because i wasnt using them

#

im gonna make a script first anyway

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:13 PM

#

shadow tulip pretty much

is there some kind of script I can make to stop the popups or no?

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

teal timber is there some kind of script I can make to stop the popups or no?

nah you have to find the source

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

sigh okay

#

what should I be looking for

#

just loadstring, prompt, marketplace

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

anything you didn't make

#

mostly scripts

#

just search for local scripts/server scripts

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

yeah i have 299 matches

#

im looking through them

#

but like keywords would be

#

loadstring, prompt, marketplace

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

299 server scripts?

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

kill bricks and stuff

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

wow

#

that is wild

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

is it

#

mostly stuff like this

#

in parts

#

should I just go through the whole obby and delete scripts and do it through properties

#

like kills bricks and transparency and stuff

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:18 PM

#

note this can all be accomplish in one script with multiple modules

#

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

oh yikes

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

i have a folder with 50 parts and this one script makes them damage bricks

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

so I could've just put kill bricks in one folder and then done a script

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

yea

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

you know

#

that makes a lot more sense

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

studio uses your resources

#

so if your pc is good having 300 scripts would be doable

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

I have a 3060 and a ryzen 5600

#

so

#

decently good

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

but in real servers game uses, if i remember a single core intel xeon cpu

#

and 4 - 6 gbs of ram give or take depending on players

#

insane lag and insane throttling

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

so then it'd make my game really laggy on lower end devices

#

i get it

#

wow im silly

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

it's fine

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

so what i need to do is delete all the scripts, make one big one for kill bricks and stuff

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

no need to say that

#

we all feel dumb in the pursuit for knowledge

#

everyone been there

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

you're smart

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

teal timber so what i need to do is delete all the scripts, make one big one for kill bricks...

yea

#

also if you haven't use modules

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

modules?

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

module scripts

#

it's like a table you can call (require) and it stores and runs code

#

#

so i have 2 main scripts and a ton of modules with each chunk of code depending on what i need

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

ohhhh i think i get it

torpid summitBOT Dec 21, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 3! ** studio

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

so its just easier to tell whats wherre

#

instead of one huge block of code

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

easier to maintain

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

yesyes

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:24 PM

#

#

one of my main script

#

most of the logic is within the modules

#

the main script is just to connect the events and connections

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

I see

#

this is very technical

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:26 PM

#

note i may not be best scripter according to this server skill level

#

this is just the best way i can help you, and the best i know of soo far

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

i mean you seem pretty skilled to me

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:27 PM

#

i'm skilled enough to fix the problems i create so i suppose

#

but you'll get there eventually

#

only a matter of time

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:28 PM

#

hopefully

#

okay so

#

for the checkpoints

#

I have it so that it plays a sound every time its touched, i removed the script that makes it play but kept the sound in the checkpoints, do I keep the sound in the checkpoints

#

or do i delete it and keep one in workspace

#

or a folder or something

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

i see no problem with having a sound object under every checkpoint

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

that wont cause lag then?

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

you can just checkpoint:FindFirstChild("sound") and play it

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

yeah I have that or something similar in my script anyway

#

like i deleted the scripts in the checkpoints themselves

#

and made one big script

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

if it's under 500 i see no issue

#

considering it's an obby, not much parts

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:31 PM

#

but if it was a bigger game

#

then how would I do it

#

a folder in workspace

#

or

#

replicated storage

#

or what

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:32 PM

#

if it was a big game

#

you'd play the sound client side

#

and let the server detect which players are within range to hear the sound and fire to those clients

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:32 PM

#

okay i guess that makes sense

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:32 PM

#

you'd load all the sound ids in a module script with it's logic

#

and have one sound object within the player's character

#

and you'd just configure that one sound object or maybe 5 at a time to play whatever sounds you need

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:33 PM

#

hrm

#

okay

#

i think i get it

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:34 PM

#

it's quite easy for your game to be unoptimized in roblox

#

especially if you're planning to cater to mobile users

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:34 PM

#

yeah i'd imagine so

#

i have another question

#

so for this

#

how would I make a script

#

for it

#

if i moved all the kill bricks to one folder

#

and called it just something like "killbrick"

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:35 PM

#

use a for loop

#

for index, brick in brickFolder:GetChildren() do
    brick.Touched:Connect(function()
      --damage logic
  end)
end

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:36 PM

#

and where would I put the name "killbrick"

#

or would i do that at all

#

im assuming it needs the name

#

of the folder like

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:37 PM

#

yea just name a folder called killbricks or something

#

and index it and use :GetChildren()

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:38 PM

#

and put it in the brackets

torpid summitBOT Dec 21, 2025, 5:38 PM

#

studio ** You are now Level 4! ** studio

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:38 PM

#

or am i tweaking

#

and then i put

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

i suck at explaining

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
end
end)

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Instance#GetChildren

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

teal timber script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Pa...

not script.Parent

#

the script will be under serverscriptservice

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

so i'd change it

#

to

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:40 PM

#

it seems you don't know what for loops do

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:40 PM

#

not really

#

sounds like an eldritch language honestly

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:40 PM

#

didnt realize making an obby would be so technical

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:40 PM

#

watch this guy beginner playlist

#

giving you basic knowledge and fundamentals in scripting

#

building an obby is easy

#

scripting it is a different story

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:41 PM

#

seems so

#

i thought i'd just learn as i went honestly

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:42 PM

#

i respect the blind playthrough

#

but i recommend watching brawldev, researching your problems from the dev forum (i assure you the problems you have someone already asked) and reading up on roblox api

#

aka their official wiki for roblox studio explaining every nook and cranny

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:43 PM

#

Alright I'll give them a look

#

ty for ur help

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:43 PM

i'll try fix my buggy little game

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 5:43 PM

#

teal timber i'll try fix my buggy little game

you got this

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 5:47 PM

#

I have one last question

#

sorry

#

after i make the loop

#

wait no

#

i figured it out i think

#

'all good

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 6:28 PM

#

quick question

#

is there a reason this isnt working?

#

I changed it to if part IsA("Part")

#

but it still doesnt work

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 6:33 PM

#

teal timber is there a reason this isnt working?

check output

#

it's most likely erroring at line 6

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 6:33 PM

#

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 6:34 PM

#

well it can't find the folder

#

at line 1

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 6:34 PM

#

wait i think

#

hang on

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 6:34 PM

#

also hit inside the touch event can touch other parts

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

okay i fixed

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

shadow tulip also hit inside the touch event can touch other parts

sorry?

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

ah nvm

#

i overthinked it

#

i read it wrong

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

the issue was that i accidentally had it in terrain

#

instead of workplace

#

space

#

whoopsies

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 6:36 PM

#

i see

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 6:36 PM

#

atleast i wont make that mistake again

#

sorry I'm like really really new to this

#

bare with me

#

also

#

"part" would be better to use than "basepart"

#

because its a broader term

#

right?

shadow tulip Dec 21, 2025, 6:40 PM

#

i put basePart cause that's what i'm looking for

#

it doesn't really matter

#

roblox have otherPart i believe

teal timber Dec 21, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

ah alr
