Change TeamColor instead

player.TeamColor = Teams.Jailed.TeamColor
#3

Alright let me try that, also should I have auto assign enabled?

Refer to this: CharacterAdded functions not loading correctly - #7 by Locard

tl;dr you’re not accounting for players that are currently loaded in prior to the code executing.

It still isnt working for some reason

#6

Removing auto assign for the teams might be the solution here

Alright I just tried that and it puts me on a team called neutral

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.TeamColor = game.Teams.Jailed.TeamColor
end)

Weird. I wouldn’t necessarily use TeamColor to change a player’s team and instead use the Team property.

Here’s what I’d say might be a better workaround:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
   player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
   player.Team = game.Teams.Jailed
end)

That way, the player’s team is changed once the character is loaded in.

Alright so I tried that and its still not working for some reason Im so lost

Hmm… are you sure you’re handling this within a server script and not a LocalScript? The team change won’t register if your code is being executed from a LocalScript. If it’s a server script, make sure your script is inside Workspace or ServerScriptService.

#11

yes I made sure thats its in service script service and its a server script

#12

In a server script do

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Team = game.Teams.Jailed
end)

it shuld work

#13

Oh wait, it might be because of the type of script you’re hosting it in. Try to do in a regular script. Also, if you want you can do this:


local teams = game.Teams

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.Team = teams.Jailed
	player.TeamColor = teams.Jailed.TeamColor
end)

Edit: :grinning: it should work i’ve tested it
Edit2: You didn’t add both player.Team And player.TeamColor, which was why it didn’t work.

You need to have an AutoAsignable team then you can assign a team to players

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("BrickColor of the Team")
end)
