How do I assign usernames to a ROBLOX Team Spawner? - roblox

Question

I would like to know how to assign certain usernames to a team spawner.
Basically when a certain username joins the game, they get placed into a team on the leader board and spawn at the correct spawn in game.

Answer 1

You can do this by checking the username and assigning the team. So something like this, assuming you don't have teams already set up.
team = Instance.new("Team",game:GetService'Teams')
game:GetService'Players'.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
if p.Name == "name" then
p.Team = team
end
end
Obviously you can set the team name and color through this script or create it your own.

Answer 2

You have to do the player handling yourself. Basically you want to listen on new players with PlayerAdded and set the team (based on some kind of magical function) with Team.
However you can assign Spawners to a team by setting the TeamColor to equal the Team's TeamColor.
Example code:
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local RedTeam = Teams["Red Team"]
local OtherTeam = Teams["Other Team"]
local PlayersInTeamRed = { "Player1" , "Player2" }
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
for playerName in ipairs(PlayersInTeamRed) do
if player.Name == playerName then
player.Team = RedTeam
return
end
end
-- Maybe another list here
-- not in "Team red"
player.Team = OtherTeam
end)
Note that you might want to check against the UserId instead, because some players changes their name.
Also make sure that the Spawn's Neutral value is false.
