Character doesn't spawn to brick when value matches spawn name?
So, basically a run down, I created a value in player that assigns a string value to how ever many players there is in the game, for example when there is 3 people in the game, whenever a new player joins, the string will automatically be changed to "Player 4". I also have spawn locations that are named from "Player 1" to "Player 7", and if the string value matches the name of one of the spawn locations, that player would be spawned to that specific spawn brick. Thats the problem: the character won't spawn to the brick. Any help? Normal server script in server script service:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local playernum = Instance.new("StringValue")
playernum.Parent = player
playernum.Name = "Player"
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
for _, v in pairs(players) do
playernum.Value = "Player "..#players
end
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local lowertorso = char:WaitForChild("LowerTorso")
local spawnlocations = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("BloxopolyBoard"):WaitForChild("SpawnLocations"):GetChildren()
if humanoid and lowertorso then
for _, v in pairs(spawnlocations) do
if playernum.Value == v.Name then
lowertorso.CFrame = CFrame.new(v.Name.Position)
end
end
end
end)
end)
With no changes i get the error: ServerScriptService.Script:16: bad argument #1 to 'new' (Vector3 expected, got nil)

Position is a Vector3 value of a part, not a CFrame which your using. Use v.Name.CFrame.Position as Position returns the position of the CFrame. Its also suggested to use the player's HumanoidRootPart as its available for R6 and R15.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local playernum = Instance.new("StringValue")
playernum.Parent = player
playernum.Name = "Player"
playernum.Value = "Player "..#players
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local lowertorso = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local spawnlocations = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("BloxopolyBoard"):WaitForChild("SpawnLocations"):GetChildren()
if humanoid and lowertorso then
for _, v in pairs(spawnlocations) do
if playernum.Value == v.Name then
lowertorso.CFrame = CFrame.new(v.CFrame.Position) -- im not sure if "Name" is a child of the spawnlocation or your accessing the property.
end
end
end
end)
end)
Your also just using a generic for loop for no reason, as your getting the length of a table from :GetPlayers() instead of actually using it and you should use :FindFirstChild() instead of using :WaitForChild() for checking if something exists.
