How do I keep someone's team when they leave?
I want to be able to set someone's team (i can do that), but then after they leave, I would like to be able to have it saved so when they join the next time, they are on that team. If you could help, that would be great!

Use a DataStore, check the wiki for documentation and tutorials. gullet 471 — 6y

You would use data-stores to save which team they were on. You can find more information on data-stores here.
For your particular case, it would be relatively simple. Just connect to the PlayerRemoving event and save to their data-store, and have it load their team on PlayerAdded.
Example Code:
01 | local playerService = game:GetService("Players") -- game.Players so that we can connect to playeradded and playerremoving |
02 | local datastoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService") -- datastores, roblox's way of saving data |
03 | local teams = game:GetService("Teams") -- teams are in here |
04 |
05 | local playersTeamDatastore = datastoreService:GetDatastore("Teams") -- teams can be anything, you can get any datastore |
06 |
07 | -- handle loading data when a player joins |
08 | playerService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
09 | local playerTeam = playersTeamDatastore:GetAsync(player.UserId) -- get their datastore value associated with their userid |
10 | if playerTeam and teams:FindFirstChild(tostring(playerTeam)) then -- if they have a team saved |
11 | player.Team = teams:FindFirstChild(tostring(playerTeam)) -- set their team |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
14 |
15 | -- handle saving data when a player leaves |
16 | playerService.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) |
17 | local playerTeam = player.Team -- check what team they were on when they left |
18 | playersTeamDatastore:SetAsync(player.UserId, playerTeam) -- save their team |
19 | end) |
