Why does my searching for player system not work?

Hey there! I am trying to make a system where you press a button and it searches for players who did as well. Everything I tried so far resulted in failure so I decided to come here for some advice.

Here is the script I am using right now. The problem is that the player only gets teleported to SpawnP1 and so does the other player. None of them go to SpawnP2.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local spinEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events"):WaitForChild("SpinBananaEvent")
local readyEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events"):WaitForChild("ReadyEvent")
local enableFightEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events"):WaitForChild("EnableFightEvent")
local teleportEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events"):WaitForChild("TeleportEvent")
local searching = false

enableFightEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
	if player.Name == player then
		searching = false
		script.Parent.Enabled = false
		teleportEvent:FireServer(workspace.Map1.SpawnP2.CFrame)
	end
end)

spinEvent.Event:Connect(function(bool)
	print("Searching Started")
	if bool then
		searching = true
		while searching do
			wait(1)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				if searching then
					local ready = v:FindFirstChild("Ready")
					local isPlayingOpp = v:FindFirstChild("IsPlaying")
					if ready.Value and not isPlayingOpp.Value and v.Name ~= player.Name and searching then
						searching = false
						readyEvent:FireServer("IsPlaying", true)
						readyEvent:FireServer("Ready", false)
						script.Parent.Enabled = false
						enableFightEvent:FireServer(v.Name)
                        teleportEvent:FireServer(workspace.Map1.SpawnP2.CFrame)
					end
				end
			end
		end
	elseif not bool then
		searching = false
	end
end)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Are either of those FireServer() calls going through? Test by adding a print on the other side.

Yes, they are. I’ve done some more printing and found out that OnClientEvent at the top of the script ran, but the if statement didn’t because I accidentally made the player parameter the exact same as the player variable. I fixed it and it works now. Thanks for the reply!
