Hello so the script below is part of a trail system I have in my game and it attaches the trail to the player each time they respawn. The only problem is when the player first loads in and clicks the equip button the trail does not attach to the player until they die. After that the script works great. Any ideas what the problem might be or how I can fix this?

table.insert(ownedTrails, trail.Name)
end

ds:SetAsync(“trails-” … plrLeaving.UserId, ownedTrails)
ds:SetAsync(“Coins-” … plrLeaving.UserId, plrLeaving.leaderstats.Coins.Value)
