How to end round when everyone is dead

[62penguins]

I’m making a game with different rounds, and when everyone dies, I want the round to end and to send everyone back to the lobby. I don’t know how to do this however, because if I wanted to check each time someone dies, there’s no easy way to signal to the script that manages the rounds, but if I checked inside the script that manages the rounds, I would have to check every second, and I don’t know if this is very efficient or not. How should I do this?

You could have 2 folders in workspace, one named “Alive” and the other “Dead”

When someone dies, put them in the “Dead” folder, and then just do a repeat check until theres nobody in the “Alive” folder and then end the round

[bytesleuth]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local players = Players:GetPlayers()
local playersLeft = #players

local function roundEnded()
	
end

for _, player in players do
	player.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		playersLeft -= 1
		
		if playersLeft == 0 then
			roundEnded()
		end
	end)
end

sample code

First of all, you can create a table to manage all the players. Once the round starts add every player to the table.

Here is a sample code to remove the players from the table:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)	
		char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
			for i, v in pairs(playerTable) do			
				if v == player then
					table.remove(playerTable, i)
				end
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

Every time a player dies you can check how many players are left in the table. So for your case, once there are 0 players left you can create a function that runs called “roundEnded” and run it

those solutions wouldn’t work because for the round to end, there has to be a break in the loop:

while true do
	--intermission
	timeUntil.Value = "Intermission"
	for seconds = 20, 0, -1 do
		timeCounter.Value = seconds
		task.wait(1)
	end
	if #Players:GetPlayers() <= 1 then
		while #Players:GetPlayers() <= 1 do
			timeUntil.Value = "Not enough players."
			task.wait(3)
			timeUntil.Value = "Intermission"
			for seconds = 20, 0, -1 do
				timeCounter.Value = seconds
				task.wait(1)
			end
		end
	end
	--set gravel
	local gravelPlayer = Players:GetPlayers()[math.random(1, #Players:GetPlayers())]
	gravel:FireClient(gravelPlayer)
	gravelPlayer.Team = gravelTeam
	print(gravelPlayer.Name .." is now gravel")
	local gravelChar = gravelPlayer.Character
	if not gravelChar or not gravelChar.Parent then
		gravelPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	end
	local gravelHrp = gravelChar:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local gravelHumanoid = gravelChar:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	gravelHrp.CFrame = gravelWait.CFrame
	gravelHumanoid.WalkSpeed = 20
	-- send players to game
	for i, plr in pairs(lobbyTeam:GetPlayers()) do
		runners:FireClient(plr)
		plr.Team = runnersTeam
		local char = plr.Character
		if not char or not char.Parent then
			char.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		end
		local hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		hrp.CFrame = runnerSpawn.CFrame
	end
	-- headstart
	timeUntil.Value = "Gravel spawns in:"
	for seconds = 15, 0, -1 do
		timeCounter.Value = seconds
		task.wait(1)
	end
	-- start game(this loop is where the break has to be)
	gravelHrp.CFrame = gravelSpawn.CFrame
	timeUntil.Value = "Game in progress."
	for seconds = 300, 0, -1 do
		timeCounter.Value = seconds
		task.wait(1)
	end
	-- game over/send to lobby
	timeUntil.Value = "Game Over"
	gravelHumanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	lobby:FireClient(gravelPlayer)
	for i, plr in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		plr.Team = lobbyTeam
		local char = plr.Character
		if not char or not char.Parent then
			char.CharacterAdded:Wait()
		end
		local hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		hrp.CFrame = lobbySpawn.CFrame
	end
	task.wait(3)
end

Is there a more efficient way than checking how many players are left each second?

[62penguins]

Nevermind, I just checked every second if any players were in the “runners” team and it worked.

If you want to break a loop in the roundEnded function then feel free too

What I like to do is add a StringValue into every player’s character, then during the round loop, check which players still have the StringValue inside of their character. If they don’t, then they died.

I keep a table during the round of all players that are still in the round in the check if they have it. I clear the table every time it comes to the check, insert every player who has the StringValue into the table, then I have another check for conditions to end the game. To check if all of the player’s are dead, I check if the number of items in the table, and if it is zero, I call break to end the round.

I keep all of that inside of the time for loop so it checks every second.
