Ok so i found this…sometimes i would spawn at the start even after being at checkpoint 4 (not supposed to happen) and also the leaderstats wouldn’t always show up im not sure why, but if i rejoin it appears again!?
Edit i have added 30 checkpoints so maybe that broke something i dont know

Use teams instead and make sure that “Neutral” is false and “AllowTeamChangeOnTouch” is enabled.
Then, when the player touches the spawnlocation, they are automatically teamed to the team colour that they touched and when they die they re-spawn back at the last spawnlocation the player touched.

hello, ah as i said in a previous reply

So adding teams would be a mess to the side

You don’t have to have the teams showing on the side. If you watch my video you can see that there are no teams showing on the playerlist.

Teams are automatically hidden unless you insert a team module into the teams folder.

I have not included any team modules just spawn locations.

I dont understand what you mean. Are you wanting players to be able to see what level other players are?

If you want other players to see what part of the obby players are on then you could just add team modules and number them in sync with the spawn locations, this will then however show up on the player list which you don’t want it to do so.

im using the script @Zombiefin suggested, which is this:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
local hum = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”)

if hum then
	local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(hum.Parent.Name)
	
	if player then
		local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
		
		if stats then
			local checkp = stats:FindFirstChild("Checkpoint")
			
			if checkp then
				if checkp.Value == (script.Parent.Name - 1) then
					checkp.Value = checkp.Value + 1
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

end)

do you know how to add a [ if leaderstats “checkpoints” = 1 set spawn at checkpoint 1 ] line to this?

I was messing around with checkpoints, take a look, this might help with what you are trying to do

AdminScript (For Testing, /sl username level)
ServerScriptService>AdminScript

local Admins = {""}
local Module = require(game.ServerScriptService.CheckpointModule)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if table.find(Admins, Player.Name) then
		Player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
			if msg:lower():sub(1,9) == "/setlevel" or msg:lower():sub(1,3) == "/sl" then
				local TargetName = string.split(msg, " ")[2]
				local TargetLevel = string.split(msg, " ")[3]
				for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
					if v.Name:lower() == TargetName:lower() then
						Module.SetPlayerLevel(v, tonumber(TargetLevel))
					end
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end)

ModuleScript For Checkpoints:
ServerScriptService>CheckpointModule

local module = {}


local Levels = {}
local CanGoDownInLevels = false
local RespawnDelay = 2


function module.GetPartFromLevel(Level)
	for i,v in pairs(Levels) do
		if v[2] == Level then
			return v[1]
		end
	end
end


function module.SetPlayerLevel(Player, NewLevel)
	Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Level").Value = NewLevel
end


function module.GetPlayerLevel(Player, NewLevel)
	return Player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Level").Value
end


local Initiated = false
function module.AddLevel(Part, Level)
	if not Initiated then
		Initiated = true
		game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false
		game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(NewPlayer)
			local Folder = Instance.new("Folder", NewPlayer)
			Folder.Name = "leaderstats"
			local LevelValue = Instance.new("IntValue", Folder)
			LevelValue.Name = "Level"
			LevelValue.Value = 1
			NewPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(NewCharacter)
				repeat
					wait(0.01)
				until
					NewCharacter:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") ~= nil
				
				NewCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = module.GetPartFromLevel(LevelValue.Value).CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0)
				DiedConnection = NewCharacter:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
					wait(RespawnDelay)
					NewPlayer:LoadCharacter()
					DiedConnection:Disconnect()
				end)
			end)
			NewPlayer:LoadCharacter()
		end)
	end
	local Success = false
	local PartIsInTable = false
	local LevelIsInTable = false
	for i,v in pairs(Levels) do
		if v[1] == Part then
			PartIsInTable = true
		end
		if v[2] == Level then
			LevelIsInTable = true
		end
	end
	if not PartIsInTable and not LevelIsInTable then
		if Part:FindFirstChild("LevelGui") ~= nil then
			Part["LevelGui"]["LevelText"].Text = Level
		end
		table.insert(Levels, {Part, Level})
		Success = true
	end
	if Success then
		Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
			if Player ~= nil then
				--local PlayerCharacter = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
				if CanGoDownInLevels then
					module.SetPlayerLevel(Player, Level)
				else
					if module.GetPlayerLevel(Player) < Level then
						module.SetPlayerLevel(Player, Level)
					end
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end


function module.ClearLevels()
	Levels = {}
end


function module.GetLevels()
	return Levels
end


function module.RemoveLevelByLevel(Level)
	for i,v in pairs(Levels) do
		if v[2] == Level then
			table.remove(Levels, i)
		end
	end
end


function module.RemoveLevelByPart(Part)
	for i,v in pairs(Levels) do
		if v[1] == Part then
			table.remove(Levels, i)
		end
	end
end


return module

Script to add the checkpoints into the module:
ServerScriptService>CheckpointModule>Script

local Module = require(script.Parent)
for i,v in pairs(workspace.Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
	Module.AddLevel(v, v:WaitForChild("Level").Value)
end

Edit:
Since you are using the names of the part instead of the intvalue:

local Module = require(script.Parent)
for i,v in pairs(workspace.Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
	Module.AddLevel(v, tonumber(v.Name))
end

So if i duplicate it would i have to change any scripting?
