Hey there! I am making different lobbies for my game, and when I try giving players a value for which lobby, they won’t spawn right.
My code:
Value
local PlacePlayer = Instance.new("StringValue")
PlacePlayer.Name = "PlayerPlace"
PlacePlayer.Value = "Park"
PlacePlayer.Parent = player
Spawner
function newCharacter(character)
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
local trail = player.PlayerTrail.Value
local speed = player.leaderstats.Speed.Value
if player:WaitForChild("PlayerPlace").Value == "Park" then
print("Park")
character:MoveTo(game.Workspace.Spawners.Park:FindFirstChildOfClass("SpawnLocation").Position)
elseif player:WaitForChild("PlayerPlace").Value == "Desert" then
print("Desert")
character:MoveTo(game.Workspace.Spawners.Desert:FindFirstChildOfClass("SpawnLocation").Position)
end
--other code........
end

This video shows me spawning at the desert area, then the park, then the desert area again, even though he clearly has the park value.
Workspace
It also does not print anything when the player first joins, but does when the player resets.
Does anyone know why this happens?

So, this may do nothing at all, but try putting ALL of your connections (outside of functions) at the bottom of your code. I’m not sure off the top of my head if this can create a scope issue, but I would at least try it.
Unfortunately, this did not work, what is mind boggling about this is that it will still print, and do all the other stuff in the characterAdded function…
Now, I know there is way to make them spawn based on the teams, but it clogs up the leaderboard… But that would be my solution, if I could take away the leaderboard part of it.
You have a lot of datastore requests in your script, try putting all of your data in a table and save/load that instead if having a separate datastore for everything.
