Spawn system issue

[God_Vejitto (Zori)]

Hey everyone! So I am trying to make a custom spawn system, that sends players to clan location’s or exploration when players wondering around, and I have the rest of the code working, the only thing I cannot figure out is how to make it so that players can spawn on the spawn parts I have (Not spawn locations).

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Modules = ServerStorage.Modules
local Managers = Modules.Managers
local DataManager = require(Managers.DataManager)
local PlayerData = ReplicatedStorage.PlayerData

-- Configuration
local SPAWN_BOX_SIZE = Vector3.new(30, 20, 30) -- Box dimensions (width, height, depth)
local SPAWN_FLOOR_SIZE = Vector3.new(32, 2, 32) -- Floor platform size

-- Reference to spawn points folder (must exist in workspace)
local SPAWN_POINTS_FOLDER = workspace:WaitForChild("ClanSpawn", math.huge) -- Adjust folder name as needed

-- Backup spawn position if clan spawn not found
local DEFAULT_SPAWN = Vector3.new(0, 50, 0)

-- CFrame serialization functions
local function serializeCFrame(cf)
	if cf and typeof(cf) == "CFrame" then
		return {cf:GetComponents()}
	end
	return nil
end

local function deserializeCFrame(data)
	if data and type(data) == "table" and #data == 12 then
		return CFrame.new(unpack(data))
	end
	return nil
end

-- Helper function to check if a CFrame is the default/empty CFrame
local function isDefaultCFrame(cf)
	if not cf or typeof(cf) ~= "CFrame" then
		return true
	end
	-- Check if it's the default CFrame (0, 0, 0) with no rotation
	local x, y, z = cf.Position.X, cf.Position.Y, cf.Position.Z
	-- Only consider it default if ALL coordinates are 0, not just X and Z
	return x == 0 and y == 0 and z == 0
end

-- Function to spawn player at custom box location
function spawnAtCustomBox(player)
	local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

	-- Position player inside the box, slightly above the floor
	local spawnFloor = workspace:WaitForChild("ClanSpawn", math.huge):WaitForChild("SpawnFloor")
	local spawnPosition = spawnFloor.Position + Vector3.new(0, SPAWN_BOX_SIZE.Y/2 - 5, 0)
	humanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(spawnPosition)

	print(player.Name .. " spawned at custom spawn box")
end

		-- Return position slightly above the part to prevent clipping
		return spawnPart.Position + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
	else

		return DEFAULT_SPAWN

If anyone can help fix this issue let me know because its required for my game.

try player:LoadCharacter() then teleporting the player to the clan spawn with CFrame.

What you can do is listen for a CharacterAddded event, and connect it to a function that gets the proper spawn “location” and Teleports the player’s character there.

That will make it so whenever they spawn/respawn, they will get teleported there.

I had to redo the code to get it to work, and I forgot to respond that I found out.
