You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
Changing the player’s collision group to “Player”.
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
Issue is the collision group of the player is not changing.
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I have tried to doPlayer.PlayerAdded but it did not trigger when I join, tried Thouched event but also did not work.
Code for Player.PlayerAdded method.
Player.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
for i, object in ipairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
if object:IsA("BasePart") then
object.CollisionGroup = "Player"
end
end
end)
end)
Code for Thouched method.
SpawnLocation.Thouched:Connect(function(ThouchedPart)
local plr = ThouchedPart.Parent
if plr then
local character = plr.Character
for i, object in ipairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
if object:IsA("BasePart") then
object.CollisionGroup = "Player"
end
end
end
end)
local Players = game:GetService("Players");
local function PlayerAdded(Player)
local function CharacterAdded(Character)
if not Player:HasAppearanceLoaded() then
Player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Wait();
end
for _, Object in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
if Object:IsA("BasePart") then Object.CollisionGroup = "Player" end
end
end
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait();
CharacterAdded(Character);
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(CharacterAdded);
end
for _, Player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
PlayerAdded(Player);
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(PlayerAdded);
So essentially in studio you’ll run into an issue where your character has the chance of loading in before the code is executed. To fix this you’d loop over the existing players, and then make the connection to PlayerAdded. Then your next issue comes from the Character itself, CharacterAdded is fired the instant the model is instantiated, so you’d want to wait for the parts to load before attempting to set their collision grouping; that can be achieved by just waiting for the appearance to load if it’s not, which is already shown in the code above.
That’s very weird cus I ran the exact same code, and produced the expected result. https://gyazo.com/7028e73885f53703d2dd5d17c2359c34
Are you making sure the script is set to context legacy/server, enabled, and parented to a server-based script context like ServerScriptService
CollisionGroups require something known as PhysicsService, PhysicsService allows you to Register CollisionGroups and Manage their Properties
local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService") -- Service
PhysicsService:RegisterCollisionGroup("Player") -- Creates CollisionGroup
from there, you are able to Manage its Properties, you can even make it so you cant Collide with anything, Its a common way for you to make Players not be able to touch each other.
Your Code is working, but you just need to create the CollisionGroup
Although it is required to alter the collision group behavior, it isn’t technically required to set a part’s collision group; and wouldn’t/shouldn’t be causing his current issue of the script not working (without a given error). However, yeah I should have clarified that prior.
So out of curiosity, are you using any custom character loading logic i.e turning the “CharacterAutoLoad” property off or something similar? Also are you using the same script for both the remote logic and collision group logic?
I have done none of that, the character are still your character and the script is a server script responsible for starting the game, ending the game and player’s collision.
Can you send the full updated script so we can have a full context of the issue at hand, you can remove certain parts that have nothing to do with the problem if you want I just want to know your variables and scoping to see if I can spot any reason it may not work. To me it sounds like the script is either yielding, or off.

I stripped it down to the bare minimum for what I needed and moved the Player.PlayerAdded:Connect
logic up, and the code executes perfectly fine.
Did you test every aspect, the modules, etc. If so that seems a little silly, maybe try restarting studio and then making sure the .Enabled property of the script is on.
