On choose team, change skin problem

Hello,

I'm creating a game (king of the hill/CTF) and in the game the auto-join choose automatically the team with less players. Working fine.

But when i try to change the skin based on the variable $Team1 and $Team2, it don't change.

when i create the player %player.setSkinName('red'); works fine.


function GameConnection::createPlayer(%this, %spawnPoint)
{
if (%this.player > 0) {
// The client should not have a player currently
// assigned. Assigning a new one could result in
// a player ghost.
error( "Attempting to create an angus ghost!" );
}

// Create the player object
%player = new Player() {
dataBlock = PlayerBody;
client = %this;
};
MissionCleanup.add(%player);

// Player setup...
%player.setTransform(%spawnPoint);
%player.setShapeName(%this.name);

if($Team1 == %player.team)
{
%player.setSkinName('red');
}

// Starting equipment
%player.setInventory(Crossbow,1);
%player.setInventory(CrossbowAmmo,10);
%player.mountImage(CrossbowImage,0);

// Update the camera to start with the player
%this.camera.setTransform(%player.getEyeTransform());

// Give the client control of the player
%this.player = %player;
%this.setControlObject(%player);
}

is not working.. but if i can get the client ID, i could do 1587.setSkinName('red'); (where 1587 is the client ID)

Can you help me?
