How do I make the script remove the old map and then spawn the new map?

local current_map; game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) player.Chatted:connect(function(chatmsg) if chatmsg:sub(1,4) == "run/" then local map = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(chatmsg:sub(5)) local backup = map:clone() if map then if current_map then current_map.Parent = game.ServerStorage end map = backup:clone() map.Parent = workspace.Objects current_map = map end end end) end)

✓ Accepted answer

Are you sure this doesn't work? It worked perfectly fine when I replicated the situation in studio.

You do have a few logical mishaps, but nothing that would break the code.

You're defining backup prior to checking if the map exists. This will throw an error if you type the wrong name in. But again, wouldn't break the code.
You're parenting current_map back into ServerStorage when you cloned it in the first place. This will duplicate the object.

Go try it again. It does work. Even without these edits

local current_map;

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	player.Chatted:connect(function(chatmsg)
		if chatmsg:sub(1,4) == "run/" then
			local map = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(chatmsg:sub(5))
			if map then
				if current_map then
					current_map:Destroy();
				end
				map = map:Clone()
				map.Parent = workspace;
				current_map = map
			end
		end
	end)
end)

Thanks for your help Goulstem :-) but I have a question how do i make it remove the map that is already there when the game starts then when you run the command it will remove that map that is already there and then spawn the new map?

You can initially set the current_map variable to your map that is in the workspace :)
