When I try to load in a map and give a tool to all players it gives me this error

my script part:


local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
    for i = 1,#players do
        if players[i].Character ~= nil then
            local spawnLocation = math.random(1,#map.Teleports:GetChildren())
            players[i].Character:MoveTo(map.Teleports:GetChildren()[spawnLocation].Position)
            players[i].Character.Parent = workspace.InGame
        end
    end

how do I fix this

I think you are giving us the wrong line of code, because I see not :Clone() here as I guess that's giving the error. If I understand what you are trying to do, it's probably in the code where you :Clone() the map. ew_001 58 — 3y

My full code:


local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status
local maps = game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps:GetChildren()

while true do
    for i = 1,10 do
        status.Value = "Intermission "..15-i
        wait(1)
    end

    local rand = math.random(1, #maps)

    local map = maps[rand]:Clone()
    map.Parent = workspace

    status.Value = "Chosen Minigame: "..map.Name
    wait(4)

    local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
    for i = 1,#players do
        if players[i].Character ~= nil then
            local spawnLocation = math.random(1,#map.Teleports:GetChildren())
            players[i].Character:MoveTo(map.Teleports:GetChildren()[spawnLocation].Position)
            players[i].Character.Parent = workspace.InGame
        end
    end

    local roundLength = 20
    local canWin = true
    local roundType = ""

    if map:FindFirstChild("Obby") then
        roundType = "Obby"
        roundLength = map:FindFirstChild("RoundTime").Value

        map.EndPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
            if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and canWin == true then
                canWin = false
                status.Value = hit.Parent.Name.." has won!"

                local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
                plr.leaderstats.Wins.Value = plr.leaderstats.Wins.Value + 1
                plr.leaderstats.Points.Value = plr.leaderstats.Points.Value + 10
            end
        end)
    elseif map:FindFirstChild("Sword") then
        roundType = "Sword"
        roundLength = map:FindFirstChild("RoundTime").Value

        local children = workspace.InGame:GetChildren()
        for i = 1,#children do
            local clone = map:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool"):Clone()
            clone.Parent = children[i]
        end

        if #children == 1 then
            children.leaderstats.Wins.Value = children.leaderstats.Wins.Value + 1
            children.leaderstats.Points.Value = children.leaderstats.Points.Value + 30
        end

        map:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool"):Destroy()    
    end


    repeat
        roundLength = roundLength - 1
        status.Value = "Time Left: "..roundLength
        wait(1)
    until roundLength == 0 or canWin == false or #workspace.InGame:GetChildren() == 0 or (#workspace.InGame:GetChildren() == 1 and roundType == "Sword")

    if #workspace.InGame:GetChildren() == 1 and roundType == "Sword" then
        local char = workspace.InGame:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model")

        status.Value = char.Name.. "has won!"

        local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
        plr.leaderstats.Wins.Value = plr.leaderstats.Wins.Value + 1
        plr.leaderstats.Points.Value = plr.leaderstats.Points.Value + 50
    end
    wait(3)
    map:Destroy()

    local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
    for i = 1,#players do
        if players[i].Character ~= nil then
            players[i]:LoadCharacter()
        end
    end
end
