Why do the players always spawn on the same spawn point?

Hey guys, I’m making a round based game and I came across this problem where the players always spawned on the same spawn point in each map- and there a four spawn points on each map.

This always happens, without a doubt- it is no coincidence. Are there any changes/additions I can do to get them to spawn on different points?

local ChosenMap = Maps[math.random(1, #Maps)]:Clone()
	local Spawns = ChosenMap:FindFirstChild('Spawns'):GetChildren()
	local RandomSpawn = Spawns[math.random(4, #Spawns)]
	
	wait(5) -- little pause, make this as long as you want
	
	ChosenMap.Parent = workspace
	Status.Value = 'Map chosen, teleporting players.'

Thanks!

If there are only 4 spawns, you will always be spawning at the 4th spawn. To get one of the four spawns randomly, change the RandomSpawn line to this.

local RandomSpawn = Spawns[math.random(1, #Spawns)]

It should be math.random(min,max), but you had it as the equivalent of math.random(4,4).

I tried it but it didn’t work :frowning:

Didn’t work in what way? It’s still spawning at only one spawn?

There isn’t any problem with the setup that I see. The spawns have different positions, right?

Yes, indeed they do. That is correct.

Can you send the rest of the script? There’s no reason why it should still be spawning at only one spawn point.

You assigned every player to spawn at the same spawn, put the math.random thing inside the player for loop to do it for each player.

Thanks, the problem is you’re setting each player to the same spawn point. Instead, you need to do it for each player.

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

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()
	local Spawns = ChosenMap:FindFirstChild('Spawns'):GetChildren()


	wait(5) -- little pause, make this as long as you want
	
	ChosenMap.Parent = workspace
	Status.Value = 'Map chosen, teleporting players.'
	
	wait(2) -- little pause, make this as long as you want
	local Knife = ServerStorage.Knife
	--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
			local newKnife = Knife:Clone()
			newKnife.Parent = Player.Backpack
			
			table.insert(playersInRound, Player) -- add all players to table
			connections[Player.Name] = Player.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function() -- remove player from list on death
				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 want
	
	repeat wait(1)
		Countdown = Countdown - 1
		
		Status.Value = 'Starting Round in : '..Countdown
	until Countdown <= 0
	
	Countdown = 60 -- Game Time

	ChosenMap:Destroy()
	
	Status.Value = 'Round Ended, waiting for new game.'
	
	wait(4) -- little pause, make this as long as you want.

Is that code above the correct one?

#14

Yes, it will place them at different spawns.
