LoadCharacter (Method)

LoadCharacter( bool inGame = true )
Returns	nil
Description:	Loads in a new character for this player. This will replace the player's current character, if they have one.
Member of:	Player

Remarks

LoadCharacter should be used in conjunction with Players.CharacterAutoLoads to control spawning of characters. This method only works from a server-side Script (not a LocalScript).

If inGame is true, then a default character will be loaded, then the Player's CharacterAppearance will be applied.

If inGame is false, then a character with the most recently loaded CharacterAppearance is used.

Example

This script turns off auto-loading and simulates character respawning.

local respawnTime = 5

local Players = Game:GetService("Players") Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false

Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(Player) Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(Character) -- find the humanoid, and detect when it dies local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") if Humanoid then Humanoid.Died:connect(function() -- delay, then respawn the character wait(respawnTime) Player:LoadCharacter() end) end end)

Player:LoadCharacter() -- load the character for the first time end)
