Player dies when switching team with spawn

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,

So I currently have a game where, when a player joins, they are given the option to join a team. However, when they click on a team, the character is reloaded, however when they respawn their joints break, causing them to die. I noticed that this was only happening when I used spawns, and when a team didn’t have any specific set spawns, they wouldn’t die.

Here is the game if you want to see it: https://www.roblox.com/games/6384614986/L7-Ms-Place-Number-201 (The Prisoners team does NOT have their own spawns in the game, but the guards team does, and the guards joints break once they spawn back in, but prisoners don’t. No where in my game do I have any breakjoints, only a loadcharacter)

Edit: Also, when their joints are broken, a ton of random force fields appear.

Here is the server sided script (I put in a few notes on what does what. There were too many local scripts to include):

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, x) -- Player clicks on a button, and it sends which team they selected.
	if x == "Guard" then
		for _, team in pairs(teams) do
			local players = team:GetPlayers()
			if #players < 8 then
				if Player:WaitForChild("TeamBool").Value == false then
					Bool.Value = true
					Player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Electric blue")
					Success:FireClient(Player) -- This just gives them a loading screen.
				end
				Player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Electric blue")
				Success:FireClient(Player)
			else
				GuardError:FireClient(Player)
			end
		end
	elseif x == "Prisoner" then
		Player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Deep orange")
		Success:FireClient(Player)
	elseif x == "Criminal" then
		local HasCriminalPass = MarketPlaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId, 15102026)
		if HasCriminalPass then
			Player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
			Success:FireClient(Player)
		else
			MarketPlaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(Player, 15102026)
		end
	end
end)

FinishedLoading.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player) -- This is connected when the loading screen is done loading.
	Player:LoadCharacter()
	Player:WaitForChild("TeamBool").Value = false
	Reload:FireClient(Player) -- Sends back out the loading screen.
end)

Here are the properties for the guard spawns:

I would make the player teleport to a specific location, otherwise if you use spawns they will be killed.

Do you know why it kills them, or is that just something Roblox does?

Pretty sure Roblox does that, I haven’t encountered it in the past, but also in the past I haven’t used spawn points.

I found the solution, I was checking the number of players on all teams, instead of just the Guards team, which caused them to breakjoints (Not sure why though)
