Hi i have a problem with my script.I was trying to make the script where i want it to make players from 4 different teams spawn with a default npc that is that different from other teams for example for team xbox i want them to have a default npc for those players that are in that team that looks different from from the other team default npc.Do i need to be more specific in this script?Did i put things i don't need in the script?I'm still a beginner at scripting and still trying to understand the language of lua in roblox and couldn't find what i was looking for on google or youtube so i gave it a try on making my own script.I really would appreciate it if you guys could help me out on this thanks.

--Variables for teams
local Team = game.Teams.Xbox
local Team = game.Teams.Playstation
local Team = game.Teams.Nintendo
local Team = game.Teams.PC

--Variables for Team spawns
local spawns = game.workspace.Nintendo.Nspawns
local spawns = game.workspace.PC.PCspawns
local spawns = game.workspace.Playstation.PSspawns
local spawns = game.workspace.Xbox.Xspawns

--Variables for TeamNpc
local TeamDefaultNPC = game.StarterPlayer.XboxNpc
local TeamDefaultNPC = game.StarterPlayer.PlaystationNpc
local TeamDefaultNPC = game.StarterPlayer.PcNPC
local TeamDefaultNPC = game.StarterPlayer.NintendoNPC
--Player Variable
local StarterPlayer = game.StarterPlayer.Humanoid

function 
if local spawn = game.workspace.Pc.PCspawns then StarterPlayer = game.StarterPlayer.PcNPC end
if local spawn = game.workspace.xbox.Xspawns then StarterPlayer = game.StarterPlayer.XboxNpc end
if local spawn = game.workspace.Nintendo.Nspawns then StarterPlayer = game.StarterPlayer.NintendoNPC end
if local spawn = game.workspace.Playstation.PSspawns then StarterPlayer = game.StarterPlayer.PlaystationNpc end

end

Remove the locals, they make the script not work. Plus, always that you are defining a function, you must put the name of it and the arguments inside the (), which can be none.

Using elseifs will avoid running unnecessary lines of code and is the "best" way to do more than one if, especially if you don't want two to "overlap"

--Variables for teams
local Team = game.Teams.Xbox
local Team = game.Teams.Playstation
local Team = game.Teams.Nintendo
local Team = game.Teams.PC

--Variables for Team spawns
local spawns = game.workspace.Nintendo.Nspawns
local spawns = game.workspace.PC.PCspawns
local spawns = game.workspace.Playstation.PSspawns
local spawns = game.workspace.Xbox.Xspawns

--Variables for TeamNpc
local TeamDefaultNPC = game.StarterPlayer.XboxNpc
local TeamDefaultNPC = game.StarterPlayer.PlaystationNpc
local TeamDefaultNPC = game.StarterPlayer.PcNPC
local TeamDefaultNPC = game.StarterPlayer.NintendoNPC
--Player Variable
local StarterPlayer = game.StarterPlayer.Humanoid

function myFunction ()
    if spawn == game.workspace.Pc.PCspawns then
        StarterPlayer == game.StarterPlayer.PcNPC
    elseif local spawn == game.workspace.xbox.Xspawns then
        StarterPlayer == game.StarterPlayer.XboxNpc
    elseif local spawn == game.workspace.Nintendo.Nspawns then
        StarterPlayer == game.StarterPlayer.NintendoNPC
    elseif local spawn == game.workspace.Playstation.PSspawns then
        StarterPlayer == game.StarterPlayer.PlaystationNpc
    end
end

EDIT: I forgot, you were using = instead of ==. To check if a value is equal to, then use ==.
