Checkpoint script spawning at other players' checkpoint

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So my checkpoint script is being really strange. When I played the game solo without other players, I spawn at my correct checkpoint. But when I join a server where there are other players in it, I spawn at the checkpoint of the player that most recently joined the server. I do spawn at my correct checkpoint if I reset. But I want it to spawn correctly the minute I join the game, not after resetting. I am confused on what is causing this issue. For context, this is a server script!

local DataRemoteEvents = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("DataRemoteEvents")
local dataLoaded = DataRemoteEvents.dataLoaded

--player not spawning at proper checkpoint. Possibly has to do with playeradded event.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	--task.wait(1)
	local leaderstats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	local Stages = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Stages")
	
	local function Spawning(character) -- handle spawning functionalities.
		print("Spawning...")
		local HumanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Checkpoints[tostring(Stages.Value)].CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 5, 0)
	end
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(Spawning)
	dataLoaded.Event:Connect(Spawning)
	
end)

Try moving these functions into a seperate script and see if it works, I’ve had a similar case of this before.

#3

How would I move those functions into a separate script? They won’t work if I do that.

#4 
local DataRemoteEvents = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("DataRemoteEvents")
local dataLoaded = DataRemoteEvents.dataLoaded
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local function Spawning(character) -- handle spawning functionalities.
        local leaderstats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	    local Stages = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Stages")
		print("Spawning...")
		local HumanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Checkpoints[tostring(Stages.Value)].CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 5, 0)
	end
     plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(Spawning)
     dataLoaded.Event:Connect(Spawning)
end)

I believe this could work

#5

This doesn’t work because Stages.Value is nil. We need to be able to access Stages because that is what will tell us which checkpoint to spawn on…

#6

Apologies, I forgot to declare the variables before, I edited the script in my previous response, let me know if it works

#7

Still doesn’t work. I am spawning in but at the wrong checkpoint like before.

local DataRemoteEvents = game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("DataRemoteEvents")
local dataLoaded = DataRemoteEvents.dataLoaded
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    local function Spawning(character) -- handle spawning functionalities.
        local leaderstats = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
	    local Stages = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Stages")
		print("Spawning...")
		local HumanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Checkpoints[tostring(Stages.Value)].CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 5, 0)
	end
     dataLoaded.Event:Connect(Spawning)
     task.wait(5)
     plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(Spawning)
end)

Okay I was able to fix it. I had to do two things. First, I moved the lines of code into the same script as as the script that loaded data from my datastores since that used a playerAdded event as well. I also had to a line a code “Spawning(plr.Character)”. Thanks for your help!

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	local character = workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
	
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = plr
	
	local Stages = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Stages.Name = "Stages"
	Stages.Parent = leaderstats
	
	local success, getStage = pcall(function()
		return stageData:GetAsync(plr.UserId)
	end)
	if success then
		if getStage == nil then
			Stages.Value = 1
		else
			Stages.Value = getStage
		end
	else
		Stages.Value = 1
	end
	
	local function Spawning(character) -- handle spawning functionalities.
		print("Spawning...")
		local HumanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		if HumanoidRootPart == nil then return end
		HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Checkpoints[tostring(Stages.Value)].CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 5, 0)
	end
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(Spawning)
	task.wait(1)
	Spawning(plr.Character)
	dataLoaded.Event:Connect(Spawning)
	
	dataLoaded:Fire(plr) -- fire event when data finish loading.
end)
