Team Respawn Issue

[Synthris]

Hey guys,

In my round system, I’m trying to make a specific team (Offence) respawn at their original teleport location upon character death. However, they end up respawning in the Lobby spawn. How would I fix this? My thinking leads me to believe it has to do with StarterCharacterScripts, so I’ve attached a local script from there on this topic.

Here is the script for critique:

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

local Workspace = game.Workspace
local Gamespawns = Workspace.GameSpawns
local OffenceSpawns = Gamespawns.OffenceSpawns:GetChildren()

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	print(Character)
	print(Player)
	if Player.Team.Name == "Offence" then
		local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		task.wait(0.1)
		local Rand = Random.new()
		HRP.CFrame = OffenceSpawns[Rand:NextInteger(1, #OffenceSpawns)].CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0)
	end
end)

For client script, you should do local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Thanks for the insight. I’ve conducted a series of tests where the line is included inside/outside the function, yet the result remains the same.

Anything else?

[war44malk (Renly)]

For some reason, I rewrite your entire script on a Server Script which I put it on ServerScriptService right below here.

local Workspace = game.Workspace
local Gamespawns = Workspace.GameSpawns
local OffenceSpawns = Gamespawns.OffenceSpawns:GetChildren()

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		print(Character)
		print(Player)
		if Player.Team.Name == "Offence" then
			local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			task.wait(0.1)
			local Rand = Random.new()
			HRP.CFrame = OffenceSpawns[Rand:NextInteger(1, #OffenceSpawns)].CFrame + Vector3.new(0,5,0)
		end
	end)
end)

*Note : I was thinking that your explorer looks like below.

And I don’t think client works for server instances (It does? Idk)

It should still work fine using a LocalScript.

Trying to move the avatar by overwriting its position often won’t get you the desired result. Consider using Charater:MoveTo(Vector3) for better results. Let me know if that doesn’t work.

[Synthris]

I’m unfamiliar with moving players/parts using Vector3, but I adapted my script with the MoveTo function.

Issue still persists, so please let me know where I went wrong.

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Workspace = game.Workspace
local Gamespawns = Workspace.GameSpawns
local OffenceSpawns = Gamespawns.OffenceSpawns:GetChildren()

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
	if Player.Team.Name == "Offence" then
		
		local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		task.wait(0.1)
		local Rand = Random.new()
		Character:MoveTo(OffenceSpawns[Rand:NextInteger(1, #OffenceSpawns)])
		
	end
end)

Are you being given any errors in output, or is it just not working?

[Synthris]

No errors at all, and the player returns to the Lobby spawn instead of either of the two Offence teleport locations.

What if you try this:

local Workspace = game.Workspace
local Gamespawns = Workspace.GameSpawns
local OffenceSpawns = Gamespawns.OffenceSpawns:GetChildren()

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		print(Character)
		print(Player)
		if Player.Team.Name == "Offence" then
			local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			task.wait(0.1)
			local Rand = math.random(1,#OffenceSpawns)
			HRP.CFrame = OffenceSpawns[Rand].CFrame * CFrame.new(0,5,0)
		end
	end)
end)
