Checkpoint isn't saving correctly

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My checkpoint script isn’t working, I don’t know what I am doing incorrect.

I made a simple checkpoint script, but when I die it does not respawn me back to my checkpoint, it resets it back to the default spawn. Everything in the script seemed correct

https://gyazo.com/f083cae3f8b6d3c6a2d4cd374052fc16

Script in serverscriptservice:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local checkPoints = workspace:WaitForChild("oc")
local defaultSpawn = checkPoints:WaitForChild("1")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	local HRP = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	HRP.CFrame = defaultSpawn.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,1,0)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	local Stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Stage.Name = "Stage"
	Stage.Value = 1
	Stage.Parent = leaderstats
	end)
end)

Script under the spawnPoint

local checkPoint = script.Parent
local checkPointNum = checkPoint:WaitForChild("CheckpointNum").Value

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
			local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			local HRP = player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			
			if player.leaderstats.Stage.Value < checkPointNum then
				print("Player"..player.Name.."Has reached level"..checkPointNum)
				player.leaderstats.Stage.Value = checkPointNum
				HRP.CFrame = checkPoint.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,1,0)
			end
		end
	end
end)

You’re creating a new leaderstats folder everytime the player character respawn

#3

Put the entire leaderstat code out of the CharacterAdded event like this:

To update the default spawn, you can do something like this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local checkPoints = workspace:WaitForChild("oc")
local defaultSpawn = checkPoints:WaitForChild("1")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	local Stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Stage.Name = "Stage"
	Stage.Value = 1
	Stage.Parent = leaderstats

	Stage.Changed:Connect(function()
		defaultSpawn = newStageSpawn -- put your new stage spawn part here
	end)

	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	local HRP = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	HRP.CFrame = defaultSpawn.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,1,0)
	end)
end)

That worked and update the IntValue but the spawn location is still being set the to the defaultspawn.

Oh, because in CharacterAdded you are making the player HRP go to the defaultSpawn.CFrame

#6

When I try that it spawns me above the zone which is strange

Updated coded:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local checkPoints = workspace:WaitForChild("oc")
local defaultSpawn = checkPoints:WaitForChild("1")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.RespawnLocation = defaultSpawn
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	local Stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Stage.Name = "Stage"
	Stage.Value = 1
	Stage.Parent = leaderstats
end)

What I am getting:

Uhhh, don’t use player.RespawnLocation :sob:

#8

Can you tell how your checkpoints are named? Like is the first checkpoint is named “1” and so forth?

#9

Put something like this in your PlayerAdded event

	Stage.Changed:Connect(function()
		defaultSpawn = newStageSpawn -- put your new stage spawn part here
	end)
#10

Yes, it is named 1 and so forth

#11

What do you mean? By creating a new part?

#12

Perfect! You can do:

	Stage.Changed:Connect(function()
		defaultSpawn = checkPoints:WaitForChild(Stage.Value) -- get your new checkpoint part
	end)
#13

You can ignore that, just look at this one above

#14

New code would be:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local checkPoints = workspace:WaitForChild("oc")
local defaultSpawn = checkPoints:WaitForChild("1")


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder", player)
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player
	local Stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Stage.Name = "Stage"
	Stage.Value = 1
	Stage.Parent = leaderstats

	Stage.Changed:Connect(function() -- this fires every time your stage value in leaderstats get changed
		defaultSpawn = checkPoints:WaitForChild(Stage.Value)
	end)

	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	local HRP = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	HRP.CFrame = defaultSpawn.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,1,0)
	end)
end)

The reason this doesn’t work is because everytime the character spawns, you’re setting the stage to 1 every time.

Both solutions have worked, thank you for the help.
