Resetting a script after game round? - lua

Question

When the game timer ends it kills the players & resets the teams and sends them to spawn to choose a Team again... idk how to reset the script to start from the beginning and have reset all the values and functions called... I tried making a copy of the script and destroy the current one with script:Destroy() but doesn't work & continues with the same function so breaks my game when the players choose the teams again & respawn.
-- Get Service Variables
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")

local TeamResetter = game.ReplicatedStorage.TeamResetter
local TimeCountdown = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Timer")
--Scripts Resets the entire script after GameTime is up
local function ResetGame(Player,Teams)
local copy = script:Clone()
copy.Parent = script.Parent
script:Destroy()
end

You can just wrap the script in a while loop to repeat from the beginning when the round ends. At the end of the loop, right before the end tag, you can reset all the values that are supposed to be reset for the next round.
