Attempt to call nil value in a certain parameter

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

My setup is when a Button is clicked, it fires a RemoteEvent to the server. The server calls the function after a for loop to check if the map exists.

-- Server
-- ...
ReplicatedStorage.Events.PlayEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	for _, mapName in ipairs(MapHandler:GetAllMaps()) do
		local clone = MapHandler:FindCloneByName(mapName)
		PlayerHandler:TeleportPlayerToMap(player, clone:FindFirstChild("Spawns"):GetChildren())
	end
end)
-- ...

The function MapHandler:FindCloneByName() attempts to find a clone in workspace, and if it exists, then it’ll return the clone.

-- ModuleScript
-- ...
function HandlerObj:FindCloneByName(workspaceMapName)
	local Clone = workspace:FindFirstChild(workspaceMapName)
	if Clone then return Clone end
			
	return "Cannot find clone"
end
-- ...

MapHandler:GetAllMaps() gets all map names from an array.

-- ModuleScript
local possibleMaps = {"test_area1", "test_area2"}
-- ...
function HandlerObj:GetAllMaps()
	return possibleMaps
end
-- ...

I’m currently having an issue with PlayerHandler:TeleportPlayerToMap(), where it randomly chooses a spawn part to teleport the player to. The parameter as seen in the server script will error.

-- ...
function PlayerHandler:TeleportPlayerToMap(player, spawns)
	local randSpawn = Ran:NextInteger(1, #spawns)
	local character = player.Character
		
	if spawns then
		character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = spawns[randSpawn].CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
	end
end
-- ...

The error message, for reference

I’m suspecting that the parameter spawns may be the issue here, since player won’t be a nil value.

Welp, looks like this issue isn’t needed anymore. I figured it out myself by checking if the clone isn’t nil, then the player will be teleported to a spawn.

if clone ~= nil then
    local spawns = clone:FindFirstChild("Spawns"):GetChildren()
	PlayerHandler:TeleportPlayerToMap(player, spawns)
end
