How to detect a player's previous team?
I'm making a pixel art game where you can disable other players from coming to where you draw. What I'm trying to do is detect a player's previous team, so that I can make their bridge able to collide again if they have no teammates. Here's a bit of my script:
01 | print(player.Name.. " has joined " ..team.Name) |
02 | local resetBridge = true |
03 | for _,rPlr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do |
04 | if rPlr.TeamColor == plr.TeamColor and rPlr.Name ~= plr.Name then |
05 | print("has teammates") |
06 | resetBridge = false |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 | if resetBridge == true then |
10 | print("reset bridge") |
11 | local path = workspace.Paths:FindFirstChild(tostring(plr.Team)) |
12 | if path then |
13 | print("found path") |
14 | path.Transparency = 0 |
15 | path.CanCollide = true |
16 | end |
17 | end |
It prints when a player joins a team, but the problem is that it only picks up the new team when it tries to make the path able to collide.

it's either you store it in a data store or store it in something else, like an object value or string value,
so every time they change a team, it's stored, and when they join the game, the team they are in is stored.
I got no scripts tho

You will need to store it inside of a table.
1 | local Teams = {} |
2 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
3 | Player:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Team"):Connect(function() |
4 | table.insert(Teams, Player.Team) |
5 | print(Player.Name.." changed team to "..Player.Team) |
6 | end) |
