Do something based on how many players

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I want to make something that happens based on how many players
Ex:
Explode every player

for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
         for count = 1, #players do
         --explode all players
      end
end
#2

k so you have a part and that part will explode same count as players in the game.
doing local players = game.Players:GetPlayers() is prob good.
Creating explosion is your thing

#3

I don’t know what you mean, but you need to change the workspaceGetChildren to game.Players:GetPlayers() and change the if line to #game.Players:GetPlayers

#4

oh so you dont want every part in the workspace to explode oo

#5

You’d make a for loop getting all the players then make a variable local player = game.Players:GetPlayers Then another loop for I = 1, #player do

Sorry hard typing on phone

in this case you wanna explode every player?

local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers()
for i = 1,#plrs do
    local player = plrs[i]
    player.Character.HumanoidRootPart -- put an explosion instance in a certain bodypart of the player
end
#7

If you wanna explode em putting an explosion do:

for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	local boom = Instance.new("Explosion", player.Character.HumanoidRootPart)
	boom.Position = boom.Parent.Position
end

And that’s it, can’t be easier than that. No need to destroy explosions later or save things on variables

try using this

if #game.Players:GetPlayers() >= 1 then -- How many players are in the game
-- explode all players
end
#9

That won’t work or make sense, cuz there is no way a server can have 0 players without start to shut off, all he wants is to iterate through players

He can change the number to check if … players are in the game

#11

Still nonsense.

for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    --Code, player is the variable that holds the current iterated player, and player.Character is the character of the current iterated player
end

With that for loop he can do whatever he wants and runs once per player

local plrs = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers() -- the players in the game
local num_plrs = #plrs -- numbers of players in the game

for _, plr in ipairs(plrs) do -- loop through the players
   if num_plrs > 0 then -- change "0" to whatever minimum number you want
      -- do stuff
   end
end

You would have to run this script after the game has finished loading as running it on a server script that starts immediately after the server starts could cause bugs

I would personally do one of these two

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do -- iterate over all the players
    local character = player.Character -- the character of the player we are exploding
    do -- unnecessary but visually separates the character variable from the explosion code
        -- explode the character
    end -- unnecessary but visually separates the character variable from the explosion code
end


local Players = game:GetService("Players")

function Explode(character)
    -- explode the character
end

for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do -- iterate over all the players
    local character = player.Character -- the character of the player we are exploding
    Explode(character)
end

With this code:

for _, player in ipairs(game.Workspace.Dummies:GetChildren()) do
	local boom = Instance.new("Explosion", player.HumanoidRootPart)
	boom.Position = boom.Parent.Position
end

I got this:
robloxapp-20210108-1027545.wmv

And if you add a wait(.1)
robloxapp-20210108-1028510.wmv

But u want it for players so the fixed code for you would be:

for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	local boom = Instance.new("Explosion", player.Character.HumanoidRootPart)
	boom.Position = boom.Parent.Position
end
