Hello developers,
So i encountered this error where it cannot pass through a for i loop. Im not so sure why but it looks like it only lets 1 person through and then breaks with this error message:

I don’t know why list[i] is nil, but you can try this.

if list[i] and game.Players:FindFirstChild(list[i]) then

Yes it worked, its just some people dont get teleported and are left behind inside the teleporting room and my character didnt move to the tptogameRoomPart. It looks like it only teleports 2-3 max instead of 6

4

try changing it to for _, i in next, list do and change all list[i] to just i

5

I think it should be like

for _, i in list do

But I don’t know if there is a difference.
