Help with constantly check if a team has 0 players

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

im basically making a team round based system like csgo/valorant

I need help with the part where when the round starts, this script on the serverscriptservice could constantly detect if a team ends up with 0 players to attribute the victory to the opposing team

script below

– Variables

local Teams = game:GetService(“Teams”)
local team1 = Teams.BlueTeam
local team2 = Teams.RedTeam
local Players = game:GetService(“Players”)

local blueTeamPlayers = {}
local redTeamPlayers = {}

function respawnPlayers()
for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new(“Bright blue”) or player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new(“Bright red”) then
player:LoadCharacter()
end
end
end

– Start game

local function startGame()

for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	if player.Team == team1 then
		table.insert(blueTeamPlayers, player)
	elseif player.Team == team2 then
		table.insert(redTeamPlayers, player)
	end
end

if #blueTeamPlayers < 1 or #redTeamPlayers < 1 then
	print("No enough players to start the game.")
	return
end


print("Iniciando o jogo...")

if #Teams.BlueTeam:GetPlayers() == 0 then
	print("Red Team won.")
	respawnPlayers()
elseif #Teams.RedTeam:GetPlayers() == 0 then
	print("Blue Team won.")
	respawnPlayers()
end







-- End
print("Round ended.")

end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
	
	if player.Name == "DenysMilitar" and message:lower() == "start" then
		startGame()
	end
end)

end)

You can simply run a thread to check:

local Teams = game:GetService('Teams');

local checkBlueTeamPlayers = function()
    while true do
        if #Teams.BlueTeam:GetPlayers() < 1 then
            print('The team has less than 1 player');
        end;

        task.wait(0.2);
    end;
end;

task.spawn(checkBlueTeamPlayers);

Bad idea, though you can achieve this with the answer above, I highly suggest you create a modular system where there’s a module script handling the rounds, and when a round ends, another module script handling the leaderboard will be called to clean up.

I agree that this is ideal, however, this user seems to be a beginner level scripter and this type of system would be the easiest for them to implement without issues.

Hey, I’m not forcing them or anything lol
I’m just giving an opinion and a way to go, if they don’t have enough knowledge on how to make a system like that, then yeah they can use a simple system like this to get the basics.

why’s the thread a bad idea

(and yea im a beginner)

its a bad idea because you’re going to be using unnecessary server resources when you could have just have put this if #Teams.BlueTeam:GetPlayers() < 1 then print('The team has less than 1 player'); end; in a player removing function
