Teleporting a player according to an object Value, not working?

I want to be able that, when a player clicks on a GUI (Build), they teleport to a part that has an ObjectValue, in this case their username Though, I always get the error: "attempt to index up Value 'Plot'" or "Infinite yield possible on WaitForChild["Plot.Value"]"

I am a beginner btw, here is my script:

local Plot = game.Workspace.Plots:GetChildren()
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Location = game.Workspace.Plots:GetChildren()[script.Parent:WaitForChild("Plot.Value")]
local Character = player.Character

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    for i,plt in pairs(workspace.Plots:GetChildren()) do
        if plt then
            if plt.Plot.Owner.Value == player then
                wait(1)
                Character:MoveTo(Location.Position)
                game.Workspace.PlotBounds.Bound1.CanCollide = true
                game.Workspace.PlotBounds.Bound2.CanCollide = true
                game.Workspace.PlotBounds.Bound4.CanCollide = true
                game.Workspace.PlotBounds.Bound5.CanCollide = true
                script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
                script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ExitBuildMode.Visible = true
                script.Parent.Parent.Parent.ExitBuildMode.TextLabel.Visible = true
            end
        end
    end
end)

In your WaitForChild("Plot.Value"), you gotta remove the "", else it's actually going to search for something named "Plot.Value" instead of using the value property of Plot. RubenKan 3615 — 5y

Sooo what's wrong here, :FindFirstChild(this is a paramater) takes a string value (a string value is any chracter "inside this") as a paramater, and that value is the Name of the object that you're looking for. Putting "Plot.Value" as a value will make your script look for a part that's named Plot.Value its not taking the code inside the " " cuz anything that's inside those will not excute as a code, for a example if we do "print(game.Workspace)" this will act up as a string value and the code will just read it as one. Get it? I hope you did.

This is waht you gotta do

script.Parent:WaitForChild(Plot.Value)
