[SOLVED] Roblox "Clone" function seems to not work, is it glitched?

Explanation: So I'm trying to write a simple code but the code doesn't seem to work. So I have 3 teams in the game named "Hospital Staff", "Patient" and "Guest". The player will be in team "Hospital Staff" only if they are in the group and have certain rank. They will be "Patient" if they are in the group and are only a member of it. Player will be in team "Guest" if they are not in the group.

Problem: I tried to clone a tool named "KeyCard" from ServerStorage to Player's Backpack but it seemed to be glitched. I tried to print "Cloned" if the tool is cloned in the Backpack and "Not Cloned" if it is not. What surprises me is that when I joined the game, the script printed "Cloned" but I did not have any tool in my Backpack. Then I tried to check my Backpack in explorer but could not find as well.

Here is my ServerScript located in ServerScriptService named "TeamAssignServer" :

01local Players = game:GetService("Players")
02local Teams = game:GetService("Teams");
03 
04local Hospital_Staff = Teams["Hospital Staff"]
05local Patient = Teams.Patient
06local Guest = Teams.Guest
07 
08Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
09    if(Player:IsInGroup(5786709)) then
10        print("Player Is In Group: Robloxia City Hospital")
11        print("Player's Rank Is: "..Player:GetRankInGroup(5786709))
12        local Rank  = Player:GetRankInGroup(5786709)
13        if Rank > 1 then
14            Player.TeamColor =  Hospital_Staff.TeamColor
15            print("Team Changed, Player's Team Is Hospital Staff")
16            local KeyCardClone = game.ServerStorage.KeyCard:Clone()
17            KeyCardClone.Parent = Player.Backpack
18            if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("KeyCard") then
19                print("KeyCard Cloned")
20            else
21                print("KeyCard Not Cloned!")
22            end
23        elseif (Rank == 1) then
24            Player.TeamColor = Patient
25            print("Team Changed, Player's Team Is Patient")
26        end
27    else
28        Player.TeamColor = Guest
29        print("Player Is Not In Group: Robloxia City Hospital!")
30        print("Team Changed, Player's Team Is Guest")
31    end
32end)

There is actually nothing wrong with your script, it's just you are doing everything very quickly.

That being said the player didn't fully load in when you cloned the tool into their backpack, that's why you didn't see it. So I added a line that waits until the character loads in.

01local Players = game:GetService("Players")
02local Teams = game:GetService("Teams");
03 
04local Hospital_Staff = Teams["Hospital Staff"]
05local Patient = Teams.Patient
06local Guest = Teams.Guest
07 
08Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
09    repeat wait() until Player.Character
10    if(Player:IsInGroup(3426179)) then
11        print("Player Is In Group: Robloxia City Hospital")
12        print("Player's Rank Is: "..Player:GetRankInGroup(3426179))
13        local Rank  = Player:GetRankInGroup(3426179)
14        if Rank > 1 then
15            Player.TeamColor =  Hospital_Staff.TeamColor
16            print("Team Changed, Player's Team Is Hospital Staff")
17            local KeyCardClone = game.ServerStorage.KeyCard:Clone()
18            KeyCardClone.Parent = Player.Backpack
19            if Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("KeyCard") then
20                print("KeyCard Cloned")
21            else
22                print("KeyCard Not Cloned!")
23            end
24        elseif (Rank == 1) then
25            Player.TeamColor = Patient.TeamColor
26            print("Team Changed, Player's Team Is Patient")
27        end
28    else
29        Player.TeamColor = Guest.TeamColor
30        print("Player Is Not In Group: Robloxia City Hospital!")
31        print("Team Changed, Player's Team Is Guest")
32    end
33end)

I also fixed where you assigned the player's team to Guest and Patient, you forgot the .TeamColor

Hope I helped, please let me know if you have any questions

Thanks. I actually tried that but i put repeat wait() until Player instead of Player.Character. Thanks for the fix too tho, didn't notice it guest_20I8 266 — 5y
