Using "CollectionService" to refer ServerScriptService Script to CheckPoints

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Added multiple CheckPoints to Workspace and trying to refer CheckPoint Script amongst CollectionService so that one Script can apply to mentioned parts.

ServerScriptService > Script:


for _, CheckPoint in CollectionService:GetTagged("CheckPoint")do	
	local spawn = script.Parent
	workspace.CheckPoint.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			local checkpointData = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("CheckpointData")
			if not checkpointData then
				checkpointData = Instance.new("Model", game.ServerStorage)
				checkpointData.Name = "CheckpointData"
			end

			local checkpoint = checkpointData:FindFirstChild(tostring(player.userId))
			if not checkpoint then
				checkpoint = Instance.new("ObjectValue", checkpointData)
				checkpoint.Name = tostring(player.userId)

				player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
					wait()
					character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = game.ServerStorage.CheckpointData[tostring(player.userId)].Value.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 4, 0)
				end)
			end

			checkpoint.Value = spawn
		end
	end)
end

you arent referencing the checkpoint, you’re just referencing a static one in the workspace.

You can instead try

game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(CheckPoint).Touched:Connect(function(hit))

this is the error it gives me when it tries to teleport the player to the CheckPoint after death.
CFrame is not a valid member of ServerScriptService "ServerScriptService" - Server - Script:21
