Why won't the teleportation stuff work?
The script is here:
minigames = game.Lighting.Minigames:GetChildren()
number = math.random(1, #minigames)
map = minigames[number]
spawns = map.Spawns:GetChildren()
function Intermission()
wait(2)
for value = 35, 0, -1 do
wait(1)
game.Workspace.Timer.Value = "The game will start in "..value.." seconds."
end
wait(1)
game.Workspace.Timer.Value = "Which map will we choose?"
wait(3)
game.Workspace.Timer.Value = "Map: "..map.Name.."."
wait(3)
map:clone()
map.Parent = workspace
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local name = v.name
local check = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(Name)
if check then
local checkHumanoid = check:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if checkHumanoid then
check:MoveTo(spawns[i].Position)
end
end
end
for value2 = 3, 0, -1 do
wait(1)
game.Workspace.Timer.Value = value2
end
game.Workspace.Timer.Value = "GOOO!!"
wait(1)
for value3 = 60, 0, -1 do
wait(1)
game.Workspace.Timer.Value = "Time left: "..value3
end
game.Workspace.Timer.Value = "Game over! Winners get 15 points!"
map:remove()
return true
end
while true do
wait(1)
local Int = Intermission()
end
The error is:Argument 1 is missing or nil 07:25:34.764 - Argument 1 missing or nil 07:25:34.764 - Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 23 - global Intermission 07:25:34.764 - Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 45

When you get an error in the output, it will almost always follow this format (a few error messages are buggy and don't, but these are mostly fixed by now):
07:25:34.764 - Argument 1 missing or nil
07:25:34.764 - Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 23 - global Intermission
07:25:34.764 - Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 45
The first line will be in red. It is the actual problem. In this case, Argument 1 missing or nil. An "argument" is something you give to a function--in ()-- so there is somewhere that you give nil, which is an error.
The next lines are the "stack" -- they say how you got to the point.
This says workspace.Script line 23 (in the function "Intermission") is the cause of the error.
Because of weird problems, sometimes line numbering is off by a small amount. It's likely complaining about this line:
local check = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(Name)
"Argument 1 is nil", which means for some reason Name must be nil.
In fact, it is -- you never defined Name, you defined name -- these are case-sensitive.
Name should be name.
The for loop over players has some problems.
:GetPlayers()returns things in an un-ordered way, so it's unlikely thatiwill be useful to you.vis a really poor name for aplayer.player.Characteris what you should use instead of looking in the workspace for an object of the same name
Perhaps something like this would be better:
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local character = player.Character
local randomSpawn = spawns[math.random(#spawns)] -- EDIT
if character then
character:MoveTo(randomSpawn.Position) -- EDIT
end
end
value2 and value are really poor names for time or timeRemaining
