attempt to index nil with 'HumanoidRootPart' ?

I Want players in a table to teleport in a specific position. But, the output says that HumanoidRootPart Is Nil.

And I have made a table and saw,

[1] = Brioche_Noodle [2] = "*** cycle table reference detected ***"

Function That I am focusing on,

01function spawnMap()
02    local Maps = Storage.Maps:GetChildren()
03    chosenMap = Maps[math.random(1, #Maps)]
04 
05    chosenMap:Clone()
06    chosenMap.Parent = workspace.Map
07 
08 
09    for _, player in ipairs(Playing) do
10        if player then
11            print(player)
12            player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(chosenMap.Teleporter.Position)
13        end
14    end
15 
16end

Here is my whole script.

01local Players = game:GetService("Players")
02local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
03local Storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

05local Playing = {}

12    Citizens = Teams.Citizens

22 
23        table.insert(Playing, player)
24        print(Playing)
25    else
26        print(player.Name .. " is added to The Not Playing Table")
27

43    local AllPlayers = Players:GetPlayers()

addPlayerToPlaying/NotPlaying does not do as their title says. Why are you inserting the Playing array? Ziffixture 6913 — 2y

FYI, line 57/70 is redundant. Ziffixture 6913 — 2y

despawnMap fails to live up to its title, too Ziffixture 6913 — 2y

Change your spawnMap() function to the following:

01function spawnMap()
02    local Maps = Storage.Maps:GetChildren()
03    chosenMap = Maps[math.random(1, #Maps)]
04 
05    chosenMap:Clone()
06    chosenMap.Parent = workspace.Map
07 
08 
09    for _, player in ipairs(Playing) do
10        if player then
11            print(player.Name.." is in Playing table")
12            local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
13            if char then
14                print(player.Name.."'s character exists")
15                player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(chosenMap.Teleporter.Position)
16            end
17        end
18    end
19end

I tested the script in my own place, so this should work. If you still get the same (or a different) error, get back to me and I'll see if I can help more.

It's best to ignore the player if they're dead. Sending them dead to the game or waiting 'til they respawn can/will yield undesirable results. Ziffixture 6913 — 2y

You're also building a Vector3 from a Vector3? Doing so will result in 0, 0, 0. Ziffixture 6913 — 2y

I've changed the, HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new() into, HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.New() And It Works. But, the Output Says that :Wait() Is Nil. Brioche_Noodle 45 — 2y

You need to check the player's character still exists as well as the player
