-- Spawns and possess a Character when a Player joins the server
Player.Subscribe("Spawn", function(player)
	local new_char = Character(Vector(), Rotator(), "nanos-world::SK_Male")
	player:Possess(new_char)
end)

Player.Subscribe("Destroy", function(player)
	local character = player:GetControlledCharacter()
	if (character) then
