Hello, I recently came to realize that player.RespawnLocation doesn’t work.
I know there are alternatives like teams, but what is the best and least complicated way of setting the player’s spawn.
I need to set the player’s spawn when the player gets added , but I don’t want to use teams, and it wouldn’t make sense since you aren’t supposed to have teams in the game and everyone should have their own spawnpoint without teams.
Is the SpawnLocation’s teamcolor set to the same team as the player?
Is the SpawnLocation’s Neutral property set to true?
None of my checkpoints have neutral set to true.
and there aren’t any teams in the game, as I said is there another way than teams , since only one player needs the spawn and also for my personal prefrence
What is the script and where’s the issue ?
There is no example script since there are no errors, I am just asking how to set a player’s checkpoint
RespawnLocation must meet the following for it to work :
1 . the SpawnLocation must be a descendant of workspace
2 . SpawnLocation.TeamColor is set to Player.TeamColor Or SpawnLocation.Neutral is set to true
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/property/Player/RespawnLocation
but if its true , won’t everyone spawn on it then?
you can actually set an attribute for the SpawnLocation as the player’s name and check for it later
if SpawnLocation:GetAttribute("Name") == plr.Name then
plr.RespawnLocation = SpawnLocation
end
Oh umm, here’s the scripts (In ServerScriptService):
local DS = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("Stage Save")
local function OnCharacterAdded(char)
game:GetService("RunService").Stepped:Wait()
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = workspace.Checkpoints[tostring(plr.TeleportedStage.Value)].CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3.25,0)
end
function OnPlayerAdded(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(OnCharacterAdded)
local stats = Instance.new("Folder")
stats.Name = "leaderstats"
stats.Parent = plr
local stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
stage.Name = "Stage"
stage.Parent = stats
local TeleStage = Instance.new("IntValue")
TeleStage.Name = "TeleportedStage"
TeleStage.Parent = plr
local key = "id_" .. plr.userId
local data = DS:GetAsync(key)
if data then
stage.Value = data
TeleStage.Value = stage.Value
else
DS:GetAsync(key, stage)
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerAdded)
function OnPlayerRemoved(plr)
local key = "id_" .. plr.userId
local data = plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value
DS:SetAsync(key, data)
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(OnPlayerRemoved)
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
repeat wait() until script.Main ~= nil
local main = require(script.Main)
function recived(plr, direction)
if direction == "up" then
main.up(plr, direction)
elseif direction == "down" then
main.down(plr, direction)
elseif plr.Stages > main.TOTAL_STAGES_IN_GAME then
print("Player is in an older version of the game!")
end
end
RS.StageTransfer.OnServerEvent:Connect(recived)
local trasferHandler = {}
local TOTAL_STAGES_IN_GAME = 0 -- Pick your number !
for _, stage in pairs(workspace.Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
if tonumber(stage.Name) > TOTAL_STAGES_IN_GAME then
TOTAL_STAGES_IN_GAME = tonumber(stage.Name)
end
end
function trasferHandler.up(plr, direction)
local tpStage = plr.TeleportedStage
if tpStage.Value < plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value then
tpStage.Value += 1
plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.Checkpoints[plr.TeleportedStage.Value].CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3.25,0)
elseif tpStage.Value == plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value then
tpStage.Value = 0
plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.Checkpoints["0"].CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3.25,0)
end
end
function trasferHandler.down(plr, direction)
local tpStage = plr.TeleportedStage
if tpStage.Value > 0 then
tpStage.Value -= 1
plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.Checkpoints[tpStage.Value].CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3.25,0)
elseif tpStage.Value == 0 then
tpStage.Value = plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value
plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.Checkpoints[plr.leaderstats.Stage.Value].CFrame + Vector3.new(0,3.25,0)
end
end
return trasferHandler
for _, v in pairs(workspace.Checkpoints:GetChildren()) do
v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if v ~= nil then
if v.Parent == workspace.Checkpoints then
local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
if player then
if player.leaderstats.Stage.Value == tonumber(v.Name) - 1 then
player.leaderstats.Stage.Value += 1
player.TeleportedStage.Value = player.leaderstats.Stage.Value
end
end
end
end
end)
end
Those are not my scripts, though.
The Main ModuleScript is inside of Stage Transfer Handler.
The game when it has obbies with different difficulties.
Other then the Obby Difficulty Chart obby with a respawn time as of the topic said.
Make sure to do this:

I think you might find this video helpful.
Note: this is making sure that only one player can spawn at a certain spawnpoint. Also, this does use player.RespawnLocation but you might still want to try it.
Hope this helps! 
I feel dumb , anyways setting the respawn location does work
