Hello, i having issue when i tried make when someone voted then timer voting starts
I wouldn’t want to my friend joined in after half a match
if possible you can tell why it should work this way or why the error is happening
i’m newbie on scripting (sorry for bad grammar in the text I was so tired when was trying to fix this error)

script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")

local badgeId = 0 -- id badge

local events = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events")

local maxWave = 41

local mob = require(script.Parent.Mob)
local info = workspace.Info
local themes = workspace.Themes
local effect = game.Lighting

local round = {}
local votes = {}

function round.StartGame()
	local map = round.LoadMap()
	
	info.GameRunning.Value = true

	for i= 15, 0, -1 do
		info.Message.Value = "Game Starting in..." .. i
		task.wait(1)
	end

	for wave= 1, maxWave do
		info.Wave.Value = wave
		info.Message.Value = ""

		round.GetWave(wave, map)

		repeat
			task.wait(1.54)
		until #workspace.Mobs:GetChildren() == 0 or not info.GameRunning.Value

		if info.GameRunning.Value and wave == maxWave then
			info.Message.Value = "VICTORY"
				for _,player in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
					BadgeService:AwardBadge(player.UserId,badgeId)
					print(player .. " has win and got badge id: " .. badgeId)
				end
		elseif info.GameRunning.Value then
			local reward = 45 * wave
			for i, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
				player.Money.Value += reward
			end

			info.Message.Value = "Round completion bonus: " .. reward
			task.wait(2)
			
			for i= 5, 0, -1 do
				info.Message.Value = "" .. i
				task.wait(1)
			end
		else
			break
		end
	end
end

function round.LoadMap()
	local votedMap = round.ToggleVoting()
	local mapFolder = ServerStorage.Maps:FindFirstChild(votedMap) -- Error
	if not mapFolder then
		mapFolder = ServerStorage.Maps["House Map"]
	end
	
	local newMap = mapFolder:Clone()
	newMap.Parent = workspace.Map
	
	workspace.SpawnBox.Floor:Destroy()
	
	newMap.Base.Humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
		if health <= 0 then
			info.GameRunning.Value = false
			info.Message.Value = "GAME OVER"
		end
	end)
	
	return newMap
end

function round.ToggleVoting()
	local maps = ServerStorage.Maps:GetChildren()
	votes = {}
	for i, map in ipairs(maps) do
		votes[map.Name] = {}
	end

	info.Voting.Value = true
	
	

	--[[for i= 35, 1, -1 do
			info.Message.Value = "Map voting (" .. i .. ")"
		end
	end
	task.wait(1)]] -- Old Code

	local winVote = nil
	local WinScore = 0
	for name, map in pairs(votes) do
		if WinScore == 1 then -- new code
			for i= 35, 1, -1 do
				info.Message.Value = "Map voting (" .. i .. ")"
			end
		end
		if #map > WinScore then
			WinScore = #map
			winVote = name
		end
	end

	info.Voting.Value = false

	return winVote
end


function round.ProcessVote(player, vote)
	for name, mapVotes in pairs(votes) do
		local oldVote = table.find(mapVotes, player.UserId)
		if oldVote then
			table.remove(mapVotes, oldVote)
			print("Old vote found", oldVote )
			break
		end
	end
	
	print("Processed vote for", vote)
	table.insert(votes[vote], player.UserId)
	
	events:WaitForChild("UpdateVoteCount"):FireAllClients(votes)
end

events:WaitForChild("VoteForMap").OnServerEvent:Connect(round.ProcessVote)

function round.GetWave(wave, map)
	if wave <= 1 then
		mob.Spawn("Mobs", 1, map)

put the function named round.LoadMap() under the function named round.ToggleVoting()

What is the worse issue? Can you describe it?

5

game starting without map with voting because of this, the enemies can’t appear and make loop of errors. In my opinion it is bad way but maybe it is fixable

6

I believe the issue is here. How are players voting? It doesn’t look like their vote will be added to the votes dictionary, meaning the map voted for will be nil.

7

Can you show the errors? Or are there any at all?

8

everything was fine until I tried to change the voting timer

due to the fact that the game starting, but map does not appear then spawn where the mobs spawning too that why
but sure
