Hey there!
What I’m trying to accomplish is to have all players on a certain team spawn with certain clothes, but only players on that team. I’ve looked on Google, Youtube, forum, etc, but I can’t find anything that isn’t outdated on this. How would I do this? I don’t want to have a giver part, either. Any and all help is appreciated!

Create a table of teams like this:
local Table = {
["Team Name"] = {
Shirt = "ShirtId";
Pants = "PantId"
}}
And then use a playeradded/characteradded event to check what Team and then change those clothes in the character.

I’m still just learning onPlayerAdded, and I’m not sure how I would use that to detect the player’s team.
onPlayerAdded isn’t an actual thing. It’s just the common name of a function that a lot of youtubers use.
To use a player/character added event, you can do something like this:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
--stuff
end)
end)
Great! Now we need to check if they are on a team.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
if player.Team == game.Teams[""] then --put team name in quotation
--stuff
end
end)
end)
Now that we have that code written down, we need to swap out the clothing asset IDs for the new ones.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
--divider
if player.Team == game.Teams[""] then
character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Shirt").ShirtsTemplate = "rbxassetid://" .. 00 --put shirt id here
character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Pants").PantsTemplate = "rbxassetid://" .. 00 --put shirt id here
end
--divider
end)
end)
There you go! The Team and clothing asset ids are for you to configure.
Additionally, you can copy and paste the code inside the "–divider"s if you want more than one team to have certain clothing.
I have 0 experience with clothing instances so let me know if there are any errors.

Also if you don’t want a lot of if statements in your script its better to loop through a table and check what team. Because a lot of if statements can get messy. Feel free to use mine or alxzile’s.
local TeamClothes = {
["Island"] = {
Shirt = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=6018717643";
Pants = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=6018659870";
};
["Yes"] = {
Shirt = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=6018717643";
Pants = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=5954847816";
}
}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local Shirt = character:WaitForChild("Shirt")
local Pants = character:WaitForChild("Pants")
for teamName,Clothes in pairs(TeamClothes) do
if teamName == tostring(player.Team) then
for _,ID in pairs (TeamClothes) do
Shirt.ShirtTemplate = Clothes.Shirt
Pants.PantsTemplate = Clothes.Pants
end
end
end
end)
end)

This just made the character’s clothes not load in on either team…
Did you make sure the name of the teams in the script match the team names in your game?
Yep. I did that. I have no idea why it isn’t working.
The script looks fine, I’ll test it. But before I do, can you check if the asset ids work in studio by putting them on a character manually? If so let me know and I’ll test out the script.
Yep. I tested the IDs, and they both work fine normally.
I am fixing the script one sec.
This new script should work,
llocal TeamClothes = {
["Island"] = {
Shirt = "6028056507";
Pants = "6018659870";
};
["Yes"] = {
Shirt = "3599544679";
Pants = "419419645";
}
}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local ShirtModel
local PantsModel
for teamName,Clothes in pairs(TeamClothes) do
if teamName == tostring(player.Team) then
local success, err = pcall(function()
ShirtModel = game.InsertService:LoadAsset(Clothes.Shirt)
PantsModel = game.InsertService:LoadAsset(Clothes.Pants)
end)
if success then
character.Shirt:Destroy()
character.Pants:Destroy()
ShirtModel.Shirt.Parent = character
PantsModel.Pants.Parent = character
end
end
end
end)
end)
Tested it and it works.

function addClothing(player, character)

-- Set new shirt and pants variables in case the user isn't wearing any shirts or pants by default
local Shirt
local Pants

Shirt.Parent = character

end
for teamName, clothes in pairs(TeamClothes) do -- "teamName" is name of team. "clothes" is the table with the Pants and Shirts
if player.Team.Name == teamName then
if Shirt then Shirt.ShirtTemplate = clothes.Shirt end
if Pants then Pants.PantsTemplate = clothes.Pants end -- if statements aren't necessary, but is a safe-to-have.
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
if player.Character then addClothing(player, player.Character) end -- call addClothing() in case code is running after the character has already loaded.
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
addClothing(player, character)
end)
end)
One thing to note is that the shirt assets you provided didn’t load on my character so I would definitely double check the id’s you provided in the table. Otherwise, this script does its job. Hopefully this helped! I learned a lot from answering this post.

Next time, simply just add a repeat wait() until character.
