Help with getting map into workspace?

Asked 200 views1 answers

I am trying to make a minigames game and this is a function I made to clone a random map into workspace but I get this error: Workspace.Main:3: bad argument #2 to 'random' (interval is empty)

function GetMap()
	local MapsFolder = game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps:GetChildren()
	local SelectMap = math.random(1, #MapsFolder)
	local SelectedMap = MapsFolder[SelectMap]:Clone()
	SelectedMap.Parent = game.Workspace
	SelectedMap.Name = "Map"
end

It looks like your MapsFolder is empty.

When you try to use GetChildren() and there is no children, it will return nil.

So when you try to use #MapsFolder, it will also be nil. Which causes an error in math.random()

Let me know if you have any other questions!
