How to make spawns that only one player can spawn at?
I'm trying to make a spawn system where only one player can spawn at every spawn, and I've made a few systems, but the scripting always gets huge, out of control, and doesn't work. It's kind of like the lobby system in literally any battle royale game. I can't offer much more, so, thanks for any help.

A good way to accomplish this would be to create a function/script which does the following when fired:
- Creates a table with all spawns in it
- Starts looping through all the players
- Teleports the player to a spawn randomly selected from the table
- Removes the selected spawn from the table
- Continues loop until all players have been looped through
Pseudo-example:
1 | math.randomseed(tick()) -- Makes math.random less predictable and more random |
2 | local spawns = {"SpawnA","SpawnB","SpawnC"} -- table of all spawns (in this example just strings) |
3 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do -- Loops through all the players |
4 | local selectIndex = math.random(1,#spawns) |
5 | -- !Insert code which teleports player to selected spawn! |
6 | print(spawns[selectIndex],v.Name) -- Print spawn and player's name just to see that it works |
7 | table.remove(spawns,selectindex) |
8 | end |
