I am making an obby game and want to have checkpoints but don’t want to do it with teams so what I was going to do was make a touched event so when the player touches the spawn it fires a bindable event and the server enables that spawn location and disables the others for that specific player. I can do everything else I just don’t know how I can disable/enable spawn locations for a specific player.

I think what you can do instead of enabling and disabling, is to use the Player.RespawnLocation property, giving it the current spawnlocation that they should respawn at (Thank you @uhSkittle for telling me about that, never knew about that property before)
Though a better way if you’re just having a number determine your current checkpoint, have the checkpoints in a separate folder and an IntValue in a leaderstats (or the player if you don’t want it to be displayed).
Each checkpoint should be named a number that corresponds to its section (1 for checkpoint 1, 2 for checkpoint 2, etc.). When you touch a part, it increments the intvalue by 1 if the player has never met that checkpoint before (Checkpoint number == current + 1) and sets the RespawnLocation property to be that checkpoint
Hopefully my explanation is understandable, I can explain more clearly if need be

Instead of creating an ObjectValue, you can also use Player.RespawnLocation

That’s probably what I will end up using however lets say after a certain period of time I wanted players to spawn at the default spawn location, which is multiple spawn locations in my situation so I can’t just set it using player.SpawnLocation. How would I do that.

What do you mean exactly by default spawn location? When the player first joins the game?

Yes I have a lobby that players spawn into and when a game starts an obby is spawned and in that obby I will put checkpoints in. When the round is over I want players to spawn back into the default roblox checkpoints.

You can try using team spawnlocations

In that case you can set all players respawnLocation to nil and remove/disable all spawnlocations in that obby, since then roblox will just use its spawnlocation logic to move you to a spawn since I don’t think you have a Non-playing/playing team system, if you do, change the team of the player to the spawnlocation’s team

If you want you can disable each team’s ‘AutoAssignable’ property and then enable each spawn location’s ‘AllowTeamChangeOnTouch’ property.

This will both prevent teams from having players assigned to them and allow players to change teams upon touching a spawn location that belongs to a particular team.
