Well, you gotta be more specific, how do you pretend to change the player's team?
First of all, assuming you already have a way of tracking how long has a player been playing for You just need to use "player.Team", and "If"
For example In this script, we change the player's team if their "leaderboard points" are higher than 15 And the script runs when the player touches a brick, which would be the change team brick
function A(h)
local char = h.Parent
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
if plr.leaderstats.Time.Value >= 15 then
plr.Team = game.Teams.Janitor
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(A)
If you still don't understand, please be more specific so I can provide a better script
Okay, so what I understand is that you want to see if a player has played your 15+ minutes.
If so, I wrote this quick code that will save the player progress as well as put a number value inside the player's instance.
Now I didn't put it as minutes but instead second, this way it's easier to differentiate the time. To calculate seconds into minutes, use any calculator or just an online converter website.
**15 minutes into seconds**: 900 seconds.
- Remember to enable API access. (To enable you go to: Game Settings => Security => Enable Studio Access To API Services). Which is for data storage.
- Server Script:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
local Players = game:GetService("Players");
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local DataStore = {
["DataStore"] = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("PlayerTime");
StartTimer = function(_, PlayerInstance)
local PlayerCurrentTime;
local success, error = pcall(function()
PlayerCurrentTime = _.DataStore:GetAsync(PlayerInstance.UserId); -- Checks if the player has any data.
end)
if PlayerCurrentTime == nil then -- If the player hasn't been added to the datastore beforehand it will return nil, as noted.
PlayerCurrentTime = 0; -- This will put a default number to anyone who hasn't played before or was removed from the datastore.
-- This can be done with setmetable but in your case, it's only one value.
end
local TimeValue = Instance.new("NumberValue", PlayerInstance);
TimeValue.Name = "Time";
TimeValue.Value = PlayerCurrentTime;
if success then
local Time = PlayerCurrentTime;
while wait(1) and PlayerInstance do -- Counts per second, this will go on until the player leaves.
Time += 1;
TimeValue.Value = Time;
end
else
warn(error);
end
end,
SaveTimer = function(_, PlayerInstance)
local PlayerTime = PlayerInstance:FindFirstChild("Time").Value;
local success, error = pcall(function()
_.DataStore:SetAsync(PlayerInstance.UserId, PlayerTime); -- Checks if the player has any data.
end)
if success then
print(string.format("Successfully saved, %s's data!", PlayerInstance.Name))
else
warn(error);
end
end,
};
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(PlayerInstance)
DataStore:StartTimer(PlayerInstance);
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(PlayerInstance)
DataStore:SaveTimer(PlayerInstance);
end)

- To make a player change team depending on the players time.
Okay, first make an **RemoteEvent** called **RequestTeam** inside ReplicatedStorage.
Then, put a number value inside your team called TimeAmount inside that value you will put the desired amount to join that team, in your case 900 seconds*(15m)*.
If the player matches the value inside the team then it will assign that team the player requested.
RemoteEvent's can be called from any script, if locally then it would be: game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RequestTeam:FireServer("yourteam");
Server Script:
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Events = {};
Events.RequestTeam = ReplicatedStorage.RequestTeam;
Events.RequestTeam.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(PlayerInstance, RequestedTeam)
local PlayerTime = PlayerInstance:FindFirstChild("Time").Value;
if RequestedTeam and Teams:FindFirstChild(RequestedTeam) then
local TeamTime = Teams[RequestedTeam]:FindFirstChild("TimeAmount").Value;
if PlayerTime >= TeamTime then
PlayerInstance.Team = Teams[RequestedTeam];
end
end
end)

That is very inefficient .
