Best way to make a wave skip system?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have this tower defense game and I wanna add wave skipping. I found this tutorial but it seemed super sloppy but I cant really do any better. I kinda want it to be like in TDS where it appears and most people have to accept but I havent scripting in like a year so Im really rusty. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

This should be pretty close to what you need

local wave = 1

local waveTime = 60

local betweenWavesTime = 20

local enemies = enemiesFolder:GetChildren()

local skipWave = false

skipWaveButton.Activated:Connect(function()

     skipWave = true

end)

while true do

     if #enemies > 0 and waveTime > 0 then

          task.wait(1)

          waveTime -= 1

     else

          while betweenWavesTime > 0 do

               task.wait(1)

               betweenWavesTime -= 1

          end

     end

     if betweenWavesTime <= 0 or skipWave then

          if skipWave and #enemies > 0 then

               for i = 1, #enemies do

                    enemiesFolder[i]:Destroy()

               end

          end

          wave += 1

          waveTime = 60

          betweenWavesTime = 20

          skipWave = false

     end

end

But that destroys all enemies. Im just thinking it gives the reward, spawns in the next set of mobs

Then you could just take out the for loop that destroys all the mobs, as well as the other checks for #enemies and it should still be fine.

Edit: just leave the initial check

if waveTime > 0 and #enemies > 0

Or else the cooldown for the next wave will start before the first wave is completed lol

Unless you want to keep the enemies and spawn more still, ofc
