print ClonedMap and tell us what it returns

Then whatever instance you’re searching for doesn’t exist within ServerStorage.

Check your instances.

#24

change FindFirstChild to WaitForChild if it yields that means the map doesn’t exist there

I changed it to waitforchild and it just waited infinitely

#27

You said ChosenMap is an instance? Therefore, you need to pass its .Name property to :FindFirstChild().

local ClonedMap : Instance = game.ServerStorage.Maps:FindFirstChild(ChosenMap.Name):Clone()
#28

Now it says attempt to index nil with clone

#29

When a method tries to compare a value to nil; what you’ve tried to reference doesn’t exist.

This generally isn’t because the instance itself doesn’t exist; instead how you’re referencing the object is wrong.

The issue you’re facing exists within ChosenMap as a variable. Since you haven’t shared that, I can’t help.

In order to reference the maps in ServerStorage, ChosenMap's value should look like:

local ChosenMap : Instance = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):FindFirstChild("Maps"):FindFirstChild("Construction")

local ClonedMap : Instance = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):FindFirstChild("Maps"):FindFirstChild(ChosenMap.Name):Clone()

ClonedMap should be nil

i hate 30 lenght limit

#31 
for i, v in pairs(padVotes) do
		local number = v
		if number > highestNumber then
			highestNumber = number
			chosen = i
		end
	end

	local ChosenMap = chosen
	
	task.wait(.3)
	
	if ChosenMap == nil or ChosenMap == "0" or ChosenMap == "nil" then
		local AvailableMaps = Maps:GetChildren()
		ChosenMap = AvailableMaps[math.random(1,#AvailableMaps)]
		Status.Value = tostring(ChosenMap).. " has been chosen!"
	else
		Status.Value = tostring(ChosenMap).. " has been chosen!"
	end

	task.wait(2)

	Status.Value = "Game starting!"

	task.wait(2)
	print(ChosenMap)
	local ClonedMap = game.ServerStorage.Maps:FindFirstChild(ChosenMap):Clone()
	print(ClonedMap)
	if (ClonedMap ~= nil) then
	if ClonedMap == "Radioactive" then
		ClonedMap:PivotTo(CFrame.new(490.263, 79.457, -4.343) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.pi))
	elseif ClonedMap == "Construction" then
		ClonedMap:PivotTo(CFrame.new(490.263, 35.957, -4.343))
		end
	elseif ClonedMap == nil then
		ClonedMap = ChosenMap
		ClonedMap = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(ChosenMap)
	end
	ClonedMap.Parent = workspace

Is the entire part where chosenmap is played. Chosen variable at the beginning is nil.
