I would like to know where i place the following script:

local player = game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local randomNumber = math.random(1, 2)
	local plot = nil
	if randomNumber == 1 then
		plot = game.Workspace.Plot1
	else
		plot = game.Workspace.Part2
	end

	player.Data.AssignedPlot = plot.Name
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = plot.CFrame
	game.Workspace.Chat:SendMessage("Player " .. player.Name .. " has been assigned to plot " .. plot.Name)
end)

All of the paths are absolute so it can technically be placed anywhere that server scripts are run, such as in the workspace or ServerScriptService.

its because theres no any instance named “Data”, unless if you put wait(1) and put player:WaitForChild(“Data”)

so what do i do? what do i modify

#6

you should add a instance named “Data” like an folder or a intvalue or whatever like

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
wait(0.4)
local data = Instance.new("IntValue")
data.Name = "Data"
data.Parent = player
local data2 = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
data2.Name = "AssignedPlot"
data2.Parent = data

	local randomNumber = math.random(1, 2)
	local plot = nil
	if randomNumber == 1 then
		plot = game.Workspace.Plot1
	else
		plot = game.Workspace.Part2
	end

	player.Data.AssignedPlot = plot
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = plot.CFrame
	game.Workspace.Chat:SendMessage("Player " .. player.Name .. " has been assigned to plot " .. plot.Name)
end)

Don’t put a local in

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

Since the plot is nil, it’ll always error.

local player = game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local randomNumber = math.random(1, 2)
	local plot = nil
	
	print(plot)
	
	if plot == nil then
		script.Parent.Enabled = false
	else
		return
	end
	
	if randomNumber == 1 then
		plot = game.Workspace.Plot1
	else
		plot = game.Workspace.Part2
	end

	player.Data.AssignedPlot = plot.Name
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = plot.CFrame
	game.Workspace.Chat:SendMessage("Player " .. player.Name .. " has been assigned to plot " .. plot.Name) -- PLOT IT NIL
end)

its because theres no instance named “Data” and “AssignedPlot” (sorry i dont know how to do a quote)

#9

i updated my code, test it again

#10

i got this error:
AssignedPlot is not a valid member of IntValue “Players.dav2777.Data” - Server - Script:18

#11 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
wait(0.4)
local data = Instance.new("IntValue")
data.Name = "Data"
data.Parent = player
local data2 = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
data2.Name = "AssignedPlot"
data2.Parent = data

	local randomNumber = math.random(1, 2)
	local plot = nil
	if randomNumber == 1 then
		plot = game.Workspace.Plot1
	else
		plot = game.Workspace.Part2
	end

	player.Data.AssignedPlot.Value = plot
	player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = plot.CFrame
	game.Workspace.Chat:SendMessage("Player " .. player.Name .. " has been assigned to plot " .. plot.Name)
end)

i forgot about the “Value” im the properties
