Hey guys, I recently stumbled across an error which now keeps the game at “choosing map” status. The error is this
~ [invalid argument #2 to ‘random’ (interval is empty)~

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Number = 0
local PositionX = 0
local PositionZ = 0

local Maps = ServerStorage:WaitForChild('Maps'):GetChildren()
local Status = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('Status')

while true do
	
	--Intermission
	
	local Countdown = 30 -- intermission, make this as long as you want
	
	repeat wait(1)
		Countdown = Countdown - 1
		
		Status.Value = 'Intermission : '..Countdown
	until Countdown <= 0
	
	--Choose the map.
	
	Status.Value = 'Choosing Map...'
	
	local ChosenMap = Maps[math.random(1, #Maps)]:Clone()
    wait(0.2)
	local Spawns = ChosenMap:FindFirstChild('Spawns'):GetChildren()


	wait(3) -- little pause, make this as long as you want
	
	Status.Value = 'Map Chosen : '..ChosenMap.Name
	
	wait(3) -- little pause, make this as long as you want
	
	ChosenMap.Parent = workspace
	Status.Value = 'Teleporting Players...'
	
	wait(2) -- little pause, make this as long as you want
	
	--teleport the players
	
	local playersInRound = {} -- track alive players
	local connections = {} -- store connections to disconnect later
	for _, Player in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
		if Player.Character and Player.Character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then
			local RandomSpawn = Spawns[math.random(1, #Spawns)]
			Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = RandomSpawn.CFrame
			
			

			table.insert(playersInRound, Player) -- add all players to table
			connections[Player.Name] = Player.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
				table.remove(playersInRound, table.find(playersInRound, Player))
			end)
		end
	end
	
	connections["Removing"] = game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player) -- remove player from list if they leave
		local ind = table.find(playersInRound, player)
		if ind then
			table.remove(playersInRound, ind)
		end
	end)
	
	Countdown = 5 -- Starting Round In, make this as long as you

Thanks!

That happens when the second argument of math.random is lower than the first. It probably is happening because you have nothing in Spawns or nothing in Maps, so either #Spawns or #Maps is 0. Not sure which, since you didn’t say which line the error was on.

The error was on the line which says

	local ChosenMap = Maps[math.random(1, #Maps)]:Clone()

What should I do to fix this? @rogchamp

That probably means there aren’t any maps. If you check in Studio, is there anything in the maps folder in ServerStorage?
