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)
