function OnClicked()
wait (5)
spawns = {"1","2","3","4"} --Names of the bricks that are used for spawns
spawn = spawns[math.random(1,#spawns)]
if game.Workspace:findFirstChild(Map1) then actual = game.Workspace.Map1:findFirstChild(spawn)
else
if game.Workspace:findFirstChild(Map2) then actual = game.Workspace.Map2:findFirstChild(spawn)
else
if game.Workspace:findFirstChild(Map3) then actual = game.Workspace.Map3:findFirstChild(spawn)
end
end

end
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso.CFrame = Workspace[math.random(4)].CFrame -- teleports person from neutral spawn to whatever your spawns are set to.
end
script.Parent.Main.Assault.MouseButton1Up:connect(OnClicked)
script.Parent.Main.Commando.MouseButton1Up:connect(OnClicked)
script.Parent.Main.Sniper.MouseButton1Up:connect(OnClicked)
script.Parent.Main.Scout.MouseButton1Up:connect(OnClicked)
script.Parent.Main.Demolition.MouseButton1Up:connect(OnClicked)

Notes for forum
if game.Workspace:findFirstChild(Map1) then actual = game.Workspace.Map1:findFirstChild(spawn)
else
if game.Workspace:findFirstChild(Map2) then actual = game.Workspace.Map2:findFirstChild(spawn)
else
if game.Workspace:findFirstChild(Map3) then actual = game.Workspace.Map3:findFirstChild(spawn)
end
end
this is the part that is broken the idea is to have my script search for which map it is then pickup the spawns inside of the map to send players to

The function FindFirstChild requires a string, and you've passed it a literal value, which I think is "nil".

Also, use elseif statements instead of those broken if and then else blocks.

Well I had an elseif statement but it didn't work either.

function FindSpawns ()
if workspace:findFirstChild("Map1") then
local spawns
spawns = workspace.Map1:GetChildren()
else if (workspace:findFirstChild("Map2")) then
local spawns = {}
spawns2 = workspace.Map2:GetChildren()
else if (workspace:findFirstChild("Map3")) then
local spawns = {}
spawns2 = workspace.Map3:GetChildren()
end

You localized the declaration statements there, so they are unusable outside the if statement. Either declare the value before entering the IF block, or don't declared it as local.

It's for my gui it needs to find if map 1 2 or 3 is in workspace so it can search map 1 2 or 3 for spawns 1 2 3 4

heres another one I tried

function FindSpawns ()

local spawns
Map1 = Workspace:FindFirstChild("Map1")
Map2 = Workspace:FindFirstChild("Map2")
Map3 = Workspace:FindFirstChild("Map3")
spawns = {Map1,Map2,Map3}
for c,v in pairs(MapTable)
do SelectedMap = v:GetChildren()
end
end

I would like to mention I have maybe a 2 weeks of scripting experience or so I just learned and I've been forcing myself to learn as fast as possible because I want to make a cool game my friends and I would like.

Try this:

function onClicked()
local iterator = 0;
local map = nil;
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer; -- Only works in a LocalScript.
repeat i=i+1; map=game.Workspace:findFirstChild("Map"..i); until map or i>3;
if (i<=3) then
local spawn = map:findFirstChild("Spawn"..math.random(1,4));
player.Character:MoveTo(spawn.Position);
else
print("No map found!");
end;
end

That should select the map if found, then teleport to either Spawn1, Spawn2, Spawn3, or Spawn4.

Wait, replace my 'local iterator = 0' with 'local i = 0'. Caught that.

Could you specify by taking the script line, and there is no map 4 at the moment.

1 its the second time, 2 if you bothered to learn how to read instead of being a 1600th century pleb I stated which line which means I'm specifying which script would I need the quotes around it because one of my scripts I have quotes.

Well I tried all the scripts on this and none of them changed anything so I tried something and it didn't work, so heres what I have it as.

function OnClicked()
i = {"Map1","Map2","Map3"}
spawns = {"1","2","3","4"}
spawn = spawns[math.random(1,#spawns)]
i = Workspace.Map:findFirstChild(spawn)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso.CFrame = Workspace[math.random(4)].CFrame
end
script.Parent.Main.Assault.MouseButton1Up:connect(OnClicked)
script.Parent.Main.Commando.MouseButton1Up:connect(OnClicked)
script.Parent.Main.Sniper.MouseButton1Up:connect(OnClicked)
script.Parent.Main.Scout.MouseButton1Up:connect(OnClicked)
script.Parent.Main.Demolition.MouseButton1Up:connect(OnClicked)

Can anyone help me?
