Making players spawn at different spawn plates in the beginning of the game?

This is a localscript that runs when the player joins. It places the player at a spawnlocation. Basically it's different spawn plates scattered and I wanted it so everyone is on a seperate plate.

game.Workspace:WaitForChild(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local getplr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
function place()
    if game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T1.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T1.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T1.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 1

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T2.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T2.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T2.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 2

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T3.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T3.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T3.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 3

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T4.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T4.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T4.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 4

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T5.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T5.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T5.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 5

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T6.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T6.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T6.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 6

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T7.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T7.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T7.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 7

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T8.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T8.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T8.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 8

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T9.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T9.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T9.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 9

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T10.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T10.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T10.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 10

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T11.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T11.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T11.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 11

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T12.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T12.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T12.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 12

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T13.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T13.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T13.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 13

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T14.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T14.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T14.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 14

    elseif game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T15.Taken.Value == false then
        game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T15.Taken.Value = true
        plr:MoveTo(game.Workspace.SpawnTowers.T15.Part.Position)
        getplr.PlayerGui.CC.Main.bot.s1.Value.Value = 15

    else return

    end

end
place()

After a player is done creating their character this runs to mark the spawn plate the player was at, not taken so other's can spawn here. I've been having problems and people are spawning on the same plate. There are no errors.

game.Workspace:WaitForChild(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    if script.Parent.Value.Value == 1 then

    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 2 then
        workspace.SpawnTowers.T2.Taken.Value = false
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 3 then
        workspace.SpawnTowers.T3.Taken.Value = false
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 4 then

This code is rather long and could be a lot more simple. Feel free to message me if you'd like a more personal explanation on why some things like indexing and metatables could help. As far as why it doesn't work; do you have an error? I know off the bat :WaitForChild() is not the safest method. Bellyrium 310 — 6y

I have coded something along the lines of what I would do. I have not yet tested this, as I am not at home.

local takenPlates = {} -- empty table containing used plates

-- What you would need to do is create enough plates to accomodate a full server, so if a server holds 20 maximim plateyers, create 20 plates.

local platesModel = workspace.spawnPlates

for _,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    local plate = platesModel[math.random(1, #platesModel:GetChildren())] --Pick random plate
    for _,check in pairs(takenPlates) do --Loop through plates model
        if not check == plate then --Check that the selected plate is already taken
            --Code teleportation
            table.insert(takenPlates, plate) --Insert taken plate into table
        else
            repeat plate = platesModel[math.random(1, #platesModel:GetChildren())] wait() until plate ~= check -- Keep trying to find an available plate until one has been found
            --Code teleportation
        end
    end
end

You would also need to empty the table between rounds if you plan on using this same script multiple times without resetting or re-inserting it. Vrakos 109 — 6y
