Can I set a player's team before they spawn?
I'm using PlayerAdded to set certain Players' teams when they join the game. Group members join one team, etc, etc. However, I am not spawning in the correct position when I first join the game, but I spawn correctly after resetting.
SpawnLocations and Teams are set up correctly. No spawns are neutral and no teams are auto assignable.
I believe it is because I am spawning before the script is able to set my team. So is there any way to fix that?

you could set position of the player at the checkpoint's position after they spawn Louix27626 83 — 5y

Try just setting their team when they are added, then use [player]:LoadCharacter() GamingZacharyC 152 — 5y

You will also need [Player]:IsInGroup(id) or local [VariableName] = [Player]:GetRankInGroup(id) but option two needs a checker (if [VariableName] [==, >=, or <=]) then and then change their team GamingZacharyC 152 — 5y

It's most likely that the Players Character is spawning before the PlayerAdded code can actually run.
To get around this you could do the following code:
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
--you'd put any code relevant to the character here
--it's good practice to put the character relevant code before the player relevant code
end
Player:LoadCharacter() --they'll spawn again at the new location
end)
