startgame doesn't exist on line 2.

Your script is always read from left to right, top to bottom. You create the function on line 3, but you try to use it on line 2. You can't access something before you create it, that doesn't make sense.

Just call the function after it's created;

wait(3) --startgame doesn't exist here
--Or here
--Or here

function startgame() 
    wait()
    local model = game.Lighting.Maps
    local map = model:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #model:GetChildren())]
    print(map)
    startgame()
end

startgame() --NOW the function exists.
