Spawns not working correctly

So I’m building a game for someone and I was setting up spawns but I’m not spawning where I would like to spawn. I correctly matched the colours and all that but I don’t spawn at the right place.

Post your script.

#3

Hey make sure the properties of your spawn locations are set correctly.

#4

Spawns have a property called “Neutral”. Make sure to set that to false as that can cause the issue.

#5

Already unchecked those. I tried everything.

#6

I already did everything I had to do. I even looked up tutorials but I can’t find anything wrong.

#7

My script only changes the teams. I tried using admin to change teams but same result.

#8

If the player is loaded in when they join they are spawning where the spectators are supposed to spawn because you have that team set to autoassignable. I would not load the character until they select a team, that way when they press play they spawn where they are supposed to.

#9

And how do I prevent a character from loading? I’m kinda new to scripting so I don’t know how to delay things or stuff like that.

#10

You could also just teleport them to the spawn when they press play, or you can do this method:

Set CharacterAutoLoads property to false in the Players tab in explorer.

then when they press the play button fire a remote event telling them to load the character.

Local Script

game.ReplicatedStorage.LoadCharacter:FireServer() --Put where they press the play button

Server Script (In serverscriptservice)

game.ReplicatedStorage.LoadCharacter.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
   player:LoadCharacter()
end)
#11

Here it is

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local PlayButton = script.Parent.TextButton
local Frame = script.Parent.Frame
local up = script.Parent.Update

repeat wait()
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until Camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.CFrame = workspace.Folder.CameraPart.CFrame

PlayButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	PlayButton:Destroy()
	Frame:Destroy()
	up:Destroy()
end)
#12

So you’re not setting the player spawn via the script?

#13

I thought that it was unnecessary because the team spawns have already been linked to the teams so all you have to do is reset.

#14

If it isn’t working then you can easily set it using Player.SpawnLocation. Could you try printing Player.SpawnLocation.Name?

You should also read this to make sure you’ve set everything correctly (e.g SpawnLocation.Neutral):
