How to equally distribute plates?

Asked by

So I'm trying to make a "Plates of Fate" type game and I got stuck on the part where I have to give each player their own plate and teleport them to their plate. This is what I managed to get so far but it only clones one plate and doesn't teleport the players.

01local plates = serverstorage:WaitForChild("Plates")
02local plateholder = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Plates")
03local players = game:GetService("Workspace").Players.Value
04 
05function addplate(player)
06    local allplates = plates:GetChildren()
07    local newplate = allplates[math.random(1, #allplates)]:clone()
08    newplate.Parent = workspace.Plates
09    newplate.Player.Value = player.Name
10end
11 
12while true do
13    print ("start")
14 
15 
16    --Wait for players
17    while true do
18        wait(5)
19        contestants = {}
20        for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
21            if player and player.Character then
22                local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
23                if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then
24                    table.insert(contestants, player)
25                end
26            end
27        end
28        if #contestants >= 2 then
29            break
30        else
31            statustag.Value = "Waiting for Players"
32            timertag.Value = -1
33        end
34    end
35 
36 
37    --Load Plates
38    statustag.Value = "Loading Plates"
39    timertag.Value = -1
40    plateholder:ClearAllChildren()
41    wait(2)
42    for _, player in pairs(contestants) do
43        addplate(player)
44    statustag.Value = "Plates Loaded!"
45    wait(3) 
46 
47    --Teleport players to plate
48    local roundplates = plateholder:GetChildren()
49    for _, player in pairs(contestants) do
50        if player and player.Character and #roundplates > 0 then
51            local torso = player.Character:WaitForChild("Torso")
52            local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
53            local spawn = plateholder:FindFirstAncestor(player)
54            if spawn and torso and humanoid then
55                humanoid.Health = 100
56                humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
57                torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(spawn.Position + Vector3.new(0, 3, 0))
58 
59                local matchtag = Instance.new("StringValue")
60                matchtag.Name = "MatchTag"
61                matchtag.Parent = player.Character
62 
63                    end
64                end
