Player spawning into wrong team

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

When the player spawns in, there are 4 possible teams. The player is assigned correctly, but spawns on the wrong spawn sometimes. If the player is killed, they respawn at the correct one. How can I make the player spawning in wait until the team has been assigned, so they spawn on the correct spawn plate?

local function assignpla(player)
	for r,t in pairs(game.Teams:GetChildren()) do
		if #t:GetPlayers() == 0 or #t:GetPlayers() == nil then
			local col = t --empty team
			local qwe 
			for x,y in pairs(script.Parent.Tycoons:GetChildren()) do
				if y.Name == col.Name then
					qwe = y.Name
				end
			end
			player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(qwe)
		end
	end
end

I tried to put the player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(qwe) after qwe = y.Name and then a break but it doesn’t break out of all the loops

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	assignpla(player)

I would kill them when they spawn, since there’s a loading screen, but I don’t want that kill sound effect

Im not directly helping your issue, but you should write cleaner code for your own good in the later stages of development. This is a decent interpretation of what your code is supposed to do (I cannot really read it tbh, as you are abbreviating way too much):

local function assignTeamColor(player)
	for _, team in ipairs(game.Teams:GetChildren()) do
		if #team:GetPlayers() == 0 then
			local matchingTycoon = script.Parent.Tycoons:FindFirstChild(team.Name)
			
			if matchingTycoon then
				player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(team.Name)
			end
            player:LoadCharacter()
            break
		end
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	assignTeamColor(player)
end)

I also added a break which might fix it.

You can use player:LoadCharacter() to reset character silent

Code:

local function assignpla(player)
	for r,t in pairs(game.Teams:GetChildren()) do
		if #t:GetPlayers() == 0 or #t:GetPlayers() == nil then
			local col = t --empty team
			local qwe 
			for x,y in pairs(script.Parent.Tycoons:GetChildren()) do
				if y.Name == col.Name then
					qwe = y.Name
				end
			end
			player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(qwe)
		end
	end

    player:LoadCharacter()
end

Perhaps you could turn off CharacterAutoLoads then when the TeamColor is assigned then you can use player:LoadCharacter() since there is no guarantee that the team will be set before the character is loaded.

#5

character will not respawn anymore if CharacterAutoLoads is off. Yes, you can turn it on then, but it affects on every player on server

#6

that’s why I said use player:LoadCharacter()
