How to make spawn location based off of leaderstat value

Hello!
I am making an obby that will save your progress when you leave the game. Your current stage will be shown through leaderstats, not teams. I want the player to spawn in on the correct spawn when they join the game, how would I do this?

You can detect if the Player’s Stage has changed by using the Changed Event for Value Objects :thinking: & use the CharacterAdded event for every time a Character Model gets added into the workspace

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
     Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        local leaderstats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
        local Stage = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Stage")
        local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

        Stage.Changed:Connect(function()
             if Stage.Value == 1 then
                 HTP.Position = workspace.Stage1.Position
             elseif Stage.Value == 2 then
                 HTP.Position = workspace.Stage2.Position
             end
        end)
    end)
end)

That’s going to be very long if there are more than 2 stages, a better way to do this would be to put the checkpoints in a folder with the name of the checkpoint being the stage number it is and doing this

local checkpoints = workspace.Checkpoints:GetChildren()

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
     Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        local leaderstats = Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
        local Stage = leaderstats:WaitForChild("Stage")
        local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

        Stage.Changed:Connect(function(val)
            HRP.Position = checkpoints[tostring(val)].Position + Vector3.new(0,3.25,0)
        end)
    end)
end)

Edit, I think I forgot to make val to a string, if it caues issues, try it out by converting to a string and then getting the checkpoint

So, do you need to change the value of the stage leaderstats to the number of the stage, and this will essentially just make you spawn at the part equal to your leaderstats value, right?

Just wanna make sure I read this right.

Don’t you also need to change the leaderstats when you touch the part, so that it can detect?
