Hello again.

I have a zombies changer script which will be active when the player assigned into the “zombie” team, it works fine when player join the team that are not the zombie team at first, but when they joined the game with the zombie team assigned the script would spawn the player as their normal avatar.

Here is the script

local zombieteam = game.Teams.Zombies
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local zombiespawnpoint = workspace:FindFirstChild("z team spawn")
local chances = game.ReplicatedStorage.Chances

local mutations = {
	{name = "Normal", chance = 73.4},
	{name = "Haunted", chance = 56.55},
	{name = "Brute", chance = 31.2},
	{name = "Spitter", chance = 53.45},
	{name = "Bomber", chance = 72.45},
	{name = "Crawler", chance = 61.37},
	{name = "Charger", chance = 59.98}
}

local spawntime = 5

local function getRandomMutation()
	local totalWeight = 0
	local cumulativeWeights = {}
	for _, mutation in ipairs(mutations) do
		totalWeight += mutation.chance
		table.insert(cumulativeWeights, {name = mutation.name, weight = totalWeight})
	end

	local randomWeight = math.random() * totalWeight
	for _, entry in ipairs(cumulativeWeights) do
		if randomWeight <= entry.weight then
			return entry.name
		end
	end
end

local function spawnZombieWithAccessories(player)
	local mutationName = getRandomMutation()
	local newZombie = ServerStorage.Mutations:FindFirstChild(mutationName):Clone()
	if not newZombie then
		warn("Mutation not found: " .. mutationName)
		return
	end

	newZombie.Name = player.Name
	player.Character = newZombie

	for _, script in pairs(game.StarterPlayer.StarterCharacterScripts:GetChildren()) do
		script:Clone().Parent = newZombie
	end

	newZombie:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(zombiespawnpoint.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0))
	newZombie.Parent = workspace

	local toolMapping = {
		Normal = {"fist"},
		Haunted = {"haunt"},
		Brute = {"crush"},
		Spitter = {"spit", "rotten"},
		Bomber = {"burst"},
		Crawler = {"leap", "fist"},
		Charger = {"fling"}
	}

	local tools = toolMapping[mutationName]
	if tools then
		for _, toolName in ipairs(tools) do
			local tool = ServerStorage.ZombieTools:FindFirstChild(toolName)
			if tool then
				tool:Clone().Parent = player.Backpack
			else
				warn("Tool not found: " .. toolName)
			end
		end
	end

	chances:FireClient(player, mutationName, mutations)
end

local function handleTeamChange(player)
	if player.Team == zombieteam then
		if player.Character then
			player.Character:Destroy()
		end
		spawnZombieWithAccessories(player)
	else
		if player.Character then
			player.Character:Destroy()
		end
		player:LoadCharacter()
	end
end

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	if player.Team == zombieteam then
		spawnZombieWithAccessories(player)
	end

	player:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Team"):Connect(function()
		handleTeamChange(player)
	end)

	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Once(function()
			task.wait(spawntime)
			if not player.Character then
				handleTeamChange(player)
			end
		end)
	end)
end

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

for _, player in ipairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
	onPlayerAdded(player)
end

players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	if player.Team == zombieteam then
		local zombie = workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
		if zombie then
			zombie:Destroy()
		end
	end
end)
