How would I make a random map choser?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

Yes, it should be a regular script.

#22

Is there a way to make it so you have to wait a certain amount of time before it chooses a map/teleports you. Can I just do wait(1) for an example before the teleport part of the script?

#23

Theres also another problem it chooses the map but doesn’t teleport. Do I have to set something? I noticed theres a teleport position were I set but I wasn’t quite sure

#24

You can put

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait(2)

at the top of the script. This prevents the script from running before the player joins the game.

#25

And yes, you need to put a certain position.

#26

How can I make it so It teleports in the middle

#27

Just place a part in the middle of the map and refer to my script:

local maps = {1,2,3,4}
local chosen = maps[math.random(1,#maps)]
chosen.Name = "ChosenMap"
chosen.Parent = workspace
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
   player.Character.CFrame = workspace.ChosenMap.SpawnPart.CFrame -- spawn part is the part you want all players to teleport you to
end
#28

Hello.

Firstly, player.Character.CFrame is not a thing. You need to use SetPrimaryPartCFrame. Second, you should use GetChildren with a folder in ServerStorage, as I did. Finally, you need to clone the map, or else the map will disappear from ServerStorage.

Other than that, using a part is a good idea and it saves work.

#29

That was my Idea I can use both. To be honest if there is some way of doing that it would be great.

I can replace the teleport from your script and replace it with his?

#31

I’m really stuck on this. (30 chars)

#32

I’ve just removed the TeleportPosition variable and replaced the TeleportCFrame variable with the CFrame of the part.

local Maps = game.ServerStorage.Maps:GetChildren() -- Gets the children of maps
local Rand = math.random(1, #maps) -- Picks a random number from 1 to the number of maps

local TeleportCFrame = game.Workspace.TeleportPosition.CFrame -- This is the part where you would get teleported.

Maps[Rand]:Clone().Parent = workspace -- Picks the random map by indexing it with the random number and cloning it into the workspace.

for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do -- Loops through all the players in-game.
   if Player.Character then -- Checks if the player has a character. Players might not have a character when they first join in to the game, or when their character is respawning.
      Player.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(TeleportCFrame) -- Sets the character's CFrame to the teleport CFrame. Basically moving the character.
   end
end
#33

Now it’s not cloning or is it because I haven’t configured the teleport yet?

#34

my way is just having one part that constantly moves to different maps with CFrame so it randomly picks XD

#35

So I use this script all the time make a script in serverscriptservice.
Now inside the script insert a module script.

Also make a folder inside Replicated Storage and put all the maps inside the folder(I’m naming it maps.)

Now type this script inside the module Script.

function module.SelectMap()
	local rand = Random.new()
	local chapters = game.ReplicatedStorage.Maps:GetChildren()
	local choosedchapter = chapters[rand:NextInteger(1, #chapters)] -- this will choose any one map from the folder.
	
	return choosedchapter
end

if you want to teleport them to the map make a part inside every map and name it mapSpawn.(Type in module script)

function module.teleportPlayers(players, mapSpawns)
	for i, v in pairs(players) do 
		if v.Character then
			local character = v.Character
			
			if character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
				
				local rand = Random.new()
				v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = mapSpawns[rand:NextInteger(1, #mapSpawns)].CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)
					
			end
		end
	end	
end

Now go to your script and type this

local Round = require(script.ModuleScript)

local ChoosedMap = Round.SelectMap()
	
	local ClonedMap = ChoosedMap:Clone()
	ClonedMap .Parent = workspace
    ClonedMap .Name = "ClonedMap"

      if ClonedMap :FindFirstChild("mapSpawns") then
		Round.teleportPlayers(ClonedMap .mapSpawns())
	else
		warn("Error no teleporot spawns") 
	end

I just get a bunch of errors…

#37

can you show me the output?

30 charss

#38

output
I blurred the parts that are not part of it

Sorry I didn’t put the whole script.
Now I have edited it.
Try now.

It’s red underlining module… In the module script
