Try this, it waits for 1 player before attempting to move to lobby. The problem was the round started before players had loaded in so it attempted to get the characters of unloaded players and teleport them somewhere.

Hey so I tried the script and I think I didn’t explain very well, my bad. When the player joins, they land in the lobby and then when the second player joins, he lands in the lobby aswell . They are then put in randomized teams and teleported to their team spawn (Player1Spawn is in cooperation with Player1 in Teams and the same for Player2Spawn). I shouldn’t have mentioned main game spawn because there is no need for one. The intermission timer goes off and then the game timer and when the game is over, the players are teleported back to the lobby and the script starts again. Sorry for badly explaining

I don’t know what the lobby spawns are even named. They were never declared in the original script.

Should it be an actual spawn or just a part named LobbySpawn?

On my end, this is working fine, can I see the local script you’re using to handle the UI side?

https://gyazo.com/41bbb846ff79de58138e6099938a4700

This was me teleporting to the Player1Spawn part. The red part did disappear shortly after.

I added prints in the other loops and they all printed.
