Hello, I am trying to make a script make a player change teams on touch, I keep getting errors.

local Debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(h)
if not Debounce then
Debounce = true
game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(h.Parent).Team = game.Teams.Nintendo
wait(10.0)
Debounce = false
end
end)

2 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Debounce = false
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(h)
if not Debounce then
Debounce = true
game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(h.Parent).Team = game.Teams.Nintendo
wait(10.0)
Debounce = false
end
end)

Try adding Players above
What error is it returning?

Does the player change teams when touching the team spawn, or a part?

Because I recall you can simply set a property on spawns that changes your team on touch. Unless, you don’t want to do that?

Define this at the top:

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)

This’ll connect the player that was connected to the roblox game

This would also affect all players as far as I know

Is it possible for you to give us the whole script instead of a small portion of it? And is this written in a serverscript or a localscript?

That’s what it is doing to me currently.

That is the whole script I have.

I am still getting the same error. It changes it to all players.

It is written in a server script because LocalScript only let’s you see it.

Hello, make sure the player isn’t nil first, you can do that by just creating a variable for player and then checking it.

I’ve done this and It’s working completly fine for me.

local Debounce = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(h)
	if not Debounce then
		Debounce = true
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(h.Parent)
		if player then
			player.Team = game.Teams.Nintendo
		end
		
		wait(10.0)
		Debounce = false
	end
end)

You can click on your profile and find the “title” option under preferences, but this isnt relevant at all

If its changing to all players then use events.

Yes but play it with 2 players. It will tell you the other player is on a team meanwhile the other player has something different. It’s hard to tell if it is because I am using Beta Studio and it might be broken.

I have already tried that and it does the same.

I fixed it! I reinstalled studio and now it works! Thanks!
