Why does players team go to another, right after teaming to a specific team?

When I use this code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player

    local rank = Instance.new("StringValue")
    rank.Name = "Rank"
    rank.Value = "Guest"
    rank.Parent = leaderstats
    while true do
        wait(1)
        if player:GetRankInGroup(5214294) == 255 then
            player.Team = Teams.Moderators
            rank.Value = "Owner"
        end
    end
end)

It teams to "Moderators", then teams to Guests, and neutral goes on. Why does it do that? - Toby

Turns out the spawns were auto assignable on touch which caused the issue.

We ended up disabling that in the spawn's properties and changing up the script a bit to make it cleaner.

This is what the script looks like now:

local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local ranks = {
    [255] = {RankName = "Owner", Team = game.Teams.Moderators},
    [254] = {RankName = "Owner", Team = game.Teams.Moderators},
    [253] = {RankName = "Developer", Team = game.Teams.Moderators},
    [252] = {RankName = "High Level", Team = game.Teams.Moderators},    
    [200] = {RankName = "Ministry", Team = game.Teams.Moderators},
    [150] = {RankName = "Professor", Team = game.Teams.Professor},  
    [3] = {RankName = "3rd year student", Team = game.Teams.Students},  
    [2] = {RankName = "2nd year student", Team = game.Teams.Students},  
    [1] = {RankName = "1st year student", Team = game.Teams.Students},  

}


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player

    local rank = Instance.new("StringValue")
    rank.Name = "Rank"
    rank.Value = "Guest"
    rank.Parent = leaderstats

    local rankInGroup = player:GetRankInGroup(5214294)

    if rankInGroup ~= 0 then
        player.Team = ranks[rankInGroup].Team
        player.leaderstats.Rank.Value = ranks[rankInGroup].RankName 
    end     
end)

Hey Toby,

From line 10 on it checks if the player is in the group and ranks them. However, when they are not assigned as Owner nothing happens.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player
    local rank = Instance.new("StringValue")
    rank.Value = "Guest"
    rank.Parent = leaderstats
    if player:GetRankInGroup(5214294) == 255 then
        player.Team = Teams.Moderators
        rank.Value = "Owner"
    else
        player.Team = Teams.Guests
        rank.Value = "Guest"
    end
end)

What I have done here for you is removed the while true do. The while true do will not be of any use once the players rank has been checked. I have also added an else to your if statement, that teams the player into Guests and sets their rank value to Guest if they are not in the group. This way the Player does not remain unassigned to a team.
