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

Asked 227 views2 answers

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.
