Player not spawning at correct spawn location even when explicitly told to

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

The player is not spawning in the correct spawn location, EX. respawn location is set to spawn location 1 but I spawn at spawn location 2. I have a print statement that shows where the player should respawn, print("Respawn location set to:", player.RespawnLocation.Name, "for", player.Name)

This code actually works and prints “Respawn location set to: Lvl 1 Spawn Location for EffBeeCee” but when I reset my character I just end up respawning at a random spawn location under team 1.

Any help is appreciated!

what i would do is create invisible parts that you want people to spawn at, and add a black box underneath your map where unspawned players are held
after that teleport the players in the black box depending on what spawn they’re tied to

i dont really know what your game is about but you could create a string or int value stored in the player which determines which spawn they’re currently supposed to spawn at

The game is an obby and my respawn point is already a working system. I should be spawning at all the correct points but roblox is overriding my script and just spawning me at a random spawn location, not the set respawn location.

#4

Can you show the code where you actually set the player’s respawn location?

#5

Why are you using respawn location?

#6

Because if I don’t I will just be sent to a random spawn location in the team (I don’t want like 30 teams)

Levels is a table with all of the spawn locations

local function fixSpawnLoc(spawnNum)
	
	local oldSpawn
	
	if spawnNum ~= 1 then
		oldSpawn = levels[spawnNum-1]
	else
		oldSpawn = nil
	end
	
	local currentSpawn = levels[spawnNum]
	
	if debounce == false then
		debounce = true
		
		player.RespawnLocation = currentSpawn
		
		print("Respawn location set to:", player.RespawnLocation.Name, " for ", player.Name)
		
		wait(3)
		
		debounce = false
	end
end

levels[1].Touched:Connect(function(hitPart)
	fixSpawnLoc(1)
end)

You can Neutral to false and turn on AllowTeamChanging to true and change the team color of that respawn location.

#9

Make sure the Pad you are trying to teleport to has the Neutral property and has the same TeamColor as ur TeamColor

#10

The point of the script is so I don’t have to use many teams and I can just use 1 for multiple spawn locations

#11

It won’t create a new team, it will create a fake temp team. Also, why not make a custom checkpoint system? I made one awhile ago if that’s what you need

#12

I am trying to make a custom checkpoint system, also when I changed the team colors to random colors on the spawn locations it would place me on the “neutral team” and I want a lobby team and a stage 1 team

#13

I know this may sound silly, but is the location you’re trying to set, actually a SpawnLocation or a part?

#14

No clue why you want teams at all, they look nasty. That is why most obbies now have no teams!

#15

It’s a spawn location

This is very true, reasons like this are why many modern obbies have moved away from teams.

#17

its just 2 teams… (stages in my obby are going to have many levels in them)

#18

Still, why have teams? It still makes it ugly.

#19

Because I want to have teams… idk

#20

then steer away from Spawnlocations, make a part which stands for the spawn then just teleport the character to the new spawnpoint every time they spawn
