Custom Spawn does not work

I am trying to move the character to a brick’s location once he joins the game, but apparently, this does not work? It is a Local Script in StarterCharacterScripts.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local char = player.Character
	local CustomSpawn = game.Workspace.CheckpointsRBX.CustomSpawn
	
	char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CustomSpawn.CFrame
	
end)

PlayerAdded won’t run in a local script (it also only runs the first time a player joins), your code should be a local script in StarterPlayerScripts
It should look like this.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
    local CustomSpawn = game.Workspace.CheckpointsRBX.CustomSpawn
	
    char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CustomSpawn.CFrame
end)

CharacterAdded runs Everytime the players character gets added to the workspace, which always happens upon respawn.

Also you can just set the players respawn position instead of this.

just replace your code with this

local CHARACTER = script.Parent -- this will only work if the script is inside StarterCharacterScripts
local HRP = CHARACTER:WaitForChild('HumanoidRootPart')

HRP.CFrame = CUSTOM_SPAWN.CFrame
