How do i create an updated intermission script?

This is an intermission script i am sure its outdated.

while true do
	wait(5) --Waits 1 minute in between games
	m = Instance.new("Message") --Creates a new message
	local players = game.Players:GetChildren() -- String array where we store all the players
	local num = math.random(1,1) --Here, put (1,[total number of maps]
	if num == 1 then --Copy and paste this next section for each map, changing the number from 1 to 2, 3, and so on.
	m.Parent = game.Workspace --Puts our message in Workspace
	m.Text = "Choosing Map..." --Feel free to change these next couple of lines as needed
	wait(5)
	m.Text = "Game Number " ..num.. " Map Was Chosen"
	wait(3)
	m.Text = "[IDK]; Maker: [IDK]"
	wait(4)
	m.Text = "[Game Will StartShortly]"
	wait(3)
	m.Text = "This game lasts for [77]."
	wait(4)
	m.Text = "Get ready"
	wait(3)
	m.Parent = nil
	game.Lighting.Minigame1:clone().Parent = game.Workspace --Change the "Minigame1 to the name of your map (stored in Lighting)
	m.Text = "Map is Loading"
	wait(5) 
	for i = 1, # players do
		players[i].Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-57, 161.351, 800)) --Change these coordinates to where you want the players to spawn
		wait(3)
		game.Lighting.LinkedSword:clone().Parent = players[i].Backpack --Change LinkedSword to the name of a weapon (in Lighting) you want to give to the players. You can either delete this line or copy paste more of it.
		end
		wait(77) --This is how long the game will last
		game.Workspace.Minigame1:Remove() --Change Minigame1 to the name of your map.
		m.Parent = game.Workspace
		m.Text = "Game over! Thank you for playing!"
		wait(5)
		m.Text = "You have 1 minute until the start of the next game."
		wait(5)
		m.Parent = nil
	end
	m:Remove()
	players[m].Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(-318.138, 40.556, 549.973)
end

Edited for code block. Please enclose your code between the two lines of tildes. Please use comments for messages like this in the future: "I am new to this web and don't know how to do the lua lines."

Can you explain the problem? "It used to work now it doesn't" Does not help us solve your problem. Are there any errors in the Developer Console? Have you tried using print statements to find where your code may be going wrong? Might I suggest indentation to help make your code more readable.

Hello, I recommend very basic tutorials on scripting. Here is the link to a playlist created by Roblox on Youtube. Did you write this code? You should be able to fix it if you did write this. Try to troubleshoot to figure out your issues, there should be a video on the playlist about troubleshooting I have included in this answer. You code is not readable in the slightest sense, I also recommend using whats below to show us your notes for what you've contributed to this issue:

Use "--" so you're able to write in your code without causing errors, this is for note taking or other things as well! (I understand that there are already notes in your code but I need notes on the issues with prints, errors, etc.)

Now to get to your code. I apologize that I cannot help you with this because it is difficult to make out what the problem is without your proper diagnostics or effort that you have put forth. If you help me understand your question more and what the issues are, I would be ever so happy to help!

Hope this helps for now!
