Group only gear on spawn breaks once respawned Help?

Try this.

groupid = 1
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
p.CharacterAdded:wait()
RN = p:GetRankInGroup(groupid)
if RN == 5 then
game.Lighting.Operator:clone().Parent = player.Backpack
game.Lighting.Operator:clone().Parent = player.StarterGear
end
end)

First of all, you need the group ID. For the backpack, it might not have loaded fully, so use the wait for child method there it will wait until backpack shows.

Edit; the group Id shouldn't be in quotes.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
p.CharacterAdded:connect(function()
RN = p:GetRankInGroup(group id here) --PUT GROUP ID HERE.
if RN == 5 then --Is this your rank in the group? If not, you won't get the tools.
game.Lighting.Operator:Clone().Parent = p:WaitForChild("Backpack")
end
end)
end)
