I would like to start this post by saying that to anyone who can take the time to read through my code and help me, I will forever be grateful. 
Hi. I am making a game where two players step on pads and get sent to play against each other. I have written this script: (hopefully my code is clear enough)
Script inside the entrance thing

To start with, everything was working. I discovered a bug where if a player left after the round was over, the other player would be teleported (this is supposed to happen when the player is still dueling) but a simple bug turned into a rabbit hole of errors and bugs. Now, players can’t press the ‘exit’ button to be teleported and the player’s character isn’t setting to the camera part and idk where to even look in the code anymore. I have only made things worse
