Why won't the player spawn?
Im using the script below and it works just find other then that the players dont actually spawn on the correct teams spawn. From testing it, it just choses a random spawn and spawns the player there. Does anybody know why and how to fix it?
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
_G.teamNumber1 = 0
_G.teamNumber2 = 0
local team1 = BrickColor.new('Bright blue')
local team2 = BrickColor.new('Bright red')
function Set()
if _G.teamNumber1 > _G.teamNumber2 then
plr.TeamColor = team2
_G.teamNumber2 = _G.teamNumber2 + 1
elseif
_G.teamNumber1 < _G.teamNumber2 then
plr.TeamColor = team1
_G.teamNumber1 = _G.teamNumber1 + 1
elseif
_G.teamNumber1 == _G.teamNumber2 then
--do math.random or watever u like, I'll just put him to Team1
plr.TeamColor = team1
_G.teamNumber1 = _G.teamNumber1 + 1
end
plr.Neutral = false
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
Set()
plr:LoadCharacter()
end)

Your Problem
What you have should work for spawning on a team's spawn. You should check that the TeamColor (and not just BrickColor) is set on the SpawnLocations, and also that Neutral is false on the SpawnLocation.
Fixing _G
The way you're using _G won't be useful.
_G is local to each client, so the numbers will pretty much always be 0 (even if they weren't local, each time a player spawns you're setting everything back to 0!)
Instead of trying to keep track of changes, just go ahead and count players by their teamcolor whenever you need them.
Here's a teamSize function I just wrote which looks through all players and looks at their Neutral and TeamColor properties, giving a count:
function teamSize(team)
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local count = 0
if team then
-- Count not neutral
for _, player in pairs(players) do
if not player.Neutral and player.TeamColor == team then
count = count + 1
end
end
else
-- Count neutral
for _, player in pairs(players) do
if player.Neutral then
count = count + 1
end
end
end
return count
end
Now instead of reading the global variables, you just ask for the team size of the two teams.
local LocalPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local team1 = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")
local team2 = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
function Set()
local size1 = teamSize(team1)
local size2 = teamSize(team2)
if size1 < size2 then
LocalPlayer.TeamColor = team1
elseif size2 < size1 then
LocalPlayer.TeamColor = team2
else
-- Or randomly
LocalPlayer.TeamColor = team1
end
LocalPlayer.Neutral = false
end
