[Solved] Why does my function print nil instead of the name when the second function works fine?

I have a script that randomly generates a set path etc but the obstacle gen function doesn't output the name it just outputs nil but the base gen function works fine (they're both basically the same)

Code (I know its messy and bad I'm very new to scripting in roblox):

local worldFolder = game.Workspace.ZaWarudo
local modelsFolder = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Models")

local randomModel
local randomName


for _, child in ipairs(worldFolder.Placements:GetChildren()) do
	child.Transparency = 1 --Sets the things transparency to 1 so that it wont show in play mode but only in editor
end

local function checkBases()
	for _, child in ipairs(worldFolder.Placements:GetChildren()) do
		if child.Name == "BigBasePlacement" then
			local models = modelsFolder:WaitForChild("Platforms"):WaitForChild("BigBase"):GetChildren()
			n = math.random(1, #models)
			randomModel = models[n]
			randomName = randomModel.Name
			theCFrame = child.CFrame
			print(randomModel.Name)
		else if child.Name == "MediumBasePlacement" then
				local models = modelsFolder:WaitForChild("Platforms"):WaitForChild("MediumBase"):GetChildren()
				n = math.random(1, #models) --select a random obstacle / base
				randomModel = models[n]
				randomName = randomModel.Name
				theCFrame = child.CFrame
				print(randomModel.Name)
			else if child.Name == "CheckpointPlacement" then
					local models = modelsFolder:WaitForChild("Platforms"):WaitForChild("Checkpoint"):GetChildren()
					n = math.random(1, #models)
					randomModel = models[n]
					randomName = randomModel.Name
					theCFrame = child.CFrame
					print(randomModel.Name)
				end
			end
		end

		--wait(0.5)

		print(randomName)
		local newGroup = Instance.new("Model")
		newGroup.Parent = worldFolder.Models
		--newGroup.Name = randomName
		--randomModel.Parent = newGroup
		--local veryNew = newGroup:Clone()
		--local yeet = randomModel.Name
		--veryNew.yeet.Parent = worldFolder.Models
		--veryNew.yeet.CFrame = theCFrame
	end
end

local function checkObstacles()
	for _, child in ipairs(worldFolder.Placements:GetChildren()) do
		if child.Name == "ObstacleBase1x1Placement" then
			local models = modelsFolder:WaitForChild("Obstacles"):WaitForChild("Obstacle1x1"):GetChildren()
			n = math.random(1, #models) --select a random obstacle / base
			randomModel = models[n] 
			randomName = randomModel.Name
			theCFrame = child.CFrame
			print(randomModel.Name)
		else if child.Name == "ObstacleBase2x1Placement" then
				local models = modelsFolder:WaitForChild("Obstacles"):WaitForChild("Obstacle2x1"):GetChildren()
				n = math.random(1, #models)
				randomModel = models[n]
				randomName = randomModel.Name
				theCFrame = child.CFrame
				print(randomModel.Name)
			else if child.Name == "ObstacleBase3x2Placement" then
					local models = modelsFolder:WaitForChild("Obstacles"):WaitForChild("Obstacle3x2"):GetChildren()
					n = math.random(1, #models)
					randomModel = models[n]
					randomName = randomModel.Name
					theCFrame = child.CFrame
					print(randomModel.Name)
				end
			end
		end
		
		--wait(0.5)
		
		print(randomName)
		local newGroup = Instance.new("Model")
		newGroup.Parent = worldFolder.Models
		--newGroup.Name = randomName
		--randomModel.Parent = newGroup
		--local veryNew = newGroup:Clone()
		--local yeet = randomModel.Name
		--veryNew.yeet.Parent = worldFolder.Models
		--veryNew.yeet.CFrame = theCFrame
	end
end


while true do
	wait(1)
	checkObstacles()
	wait(1)
	checkBases()
	wait(120)
	worldFolder.Models:ClearAllChildren()
	wait(5)
end

Somehow making the checkObstacles go above checkBases made it work for whatever reason
