Hey Guys

im working on a capture point system and it’s detecting when a player touchs the block and checks their team to change it to the proper color.

The problem is that It detects when I step on it and it changes color to my proper team
But when I change my team it wont change the color,

CODE:

local objective = script.Parent


objective.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if player then
		if player.Team.Name == "British" then
			objective.Color = Color3.fromRGB(128,0,0)
		elseif player.Team.Name == "Germany" then
			objective.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 92, 138)		
		end
	end
end)

Thank you, any help is loved!

So when you change to Germany, it still shows the colour as red, or does it just not change the colour at all?

Very simple mistake; Just use player.TeamColor instead.

I don’t get your question. Are you trying to change from British to Germany, or Germany to British?

Instead of using elseif, try this:

	if player then
		if player.Team.Name == "British" then
			objective.Color = Color3.fromRGB(128,0,0)
        end
		if player.Team.Name == "Germany" then
			objective.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0, 92, 138)		
		end
	end
end)

edit: dumb forum took tab as action instead of space

Are you sure you’re changing your team on the server and not just the client? Your code should work the way it is. It’s a common mistake, especially if you’re playtesting in studio.
