Help with map reset system

[IStoleWafflesId2]

1. I want to make a system that resets a generator script

2. I’m not sure how to reset scripts

Screenshots:

thats the script
What i want to do is when a timer goes up, it will reset the generator script and generate another map. kinda like tower of hell map generation.
If you need any clarification, just ask

There’s a few ways this could be done, but what I usually do is create a ModuleScript which has the functionality for managing rooms (I assume that’s something you need?), and then a regular script to respond to events/triggers and then call said ModuleScript.

For example:

-- ModuleScript
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local PossibleHallways = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Possible Hallways")
local GeneratedRooms = workspace:WaitForChild("Generated Rooms")

local module = {}

function generateRoom()
	-- Your "GenerateRoom" function here
end

function module.GenerateRooms(numRooms: number) -- "numRooms: number" means that the variable numRooms is expected to be of type "number"
	for i=1, numRooms do
		generateRoom()
	end
end

function module.ClearRooms()
	GeneratedRooms:ClearAllChildren() -- Remove all rooms
end


return module

-- Script
local RoomManager = require(<path>) -- Replace with path to the above modulescript

local restartEvent = <path> -- Create a BindableEvent which is triggered whenever you want the rooms to reset.

function restart()
	RoomManager.ClearRooms()
	RoomManager.GenerateRooms(10)
end


restart() -- Instantly populate

restartEvent.Event:Connect(restart) -- Restart whenever the event is triggered

I might have understood something incorrectly, please let me know if I did!

On a side note:
When sending code here, I would recommend doing what I did instead of sending images (if possible). You add code by doing: “```” before and after it. Ex:

```
– Example comment
local myVar = 3
print(myVar)
```
The above creates the following:

-- Example comment
local myVar = 3
print(myVar)

I’m sorry but I’m a bit confused I’m a newbie with little experience

[IStoleWafflesId2]

I think you forogt the start point thing
`local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local PossibleHallways = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(“Possible Hallways”)
local GeneratedRooms = workspace:WaitForChild(“Generated Rooms”)

prevRoom = workspace.StartPoint

local numRooms = 10 --// NUMBER OF ROOMS YOU WANT

function generateRoom()
local randomroom = PossibleHallways:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #PossibleHallways:GetChildren())]
local clonedroom = randomroom:Clone()

clonedroom.PrimaryPart = clonedroom.Exit
clonedroom:PivotTo(prevRoom.Entrance.CFrame)

clonedroom.Parent = GeneratedRooms
clonedroom.Entrance.Transparency = 1
clonedroom.Exit.Transparency = 1

prevRoom = clonedroom

end

for i = 1, numRooms do
generateRoom()
end`

I think you forogt start point

Almost, it has to be these: `. For me it is located next to “?”. In the preview of your post it will look like the code, so that’s how you know it is the right one.

And yes, I didn’t write out everything. But to add what your existing code all you need to do is this:

-- ModuleScript
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local PossibleHallways = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Possible Hallways")
local GeneratedRooms = workspace:WaitForChild("Generated Rooms")

local module = {}

local prevRoom = workspace.StartPoint
function generateRoom()
	local randomroom = PossibleHallways:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #PossibleHallways:GetChildren())]
	local clonedroom = randomroom:Clone()

	clonedroom.PrimaryPart = clonedroom.Exit
	clonedroom:PivotTo(prevRoom.Entrance.CFrame)

	clonedroom.Parent = GeneratedRooms
	clonedroom.Entrance.Transparency = 1
	clonedroom.Exit.Transparency = 1

	prevRoom = clonedroom
end

function module.GenerateRooms(numRooms: number) -- "numRooms: number" means that the variable numRooms is expected to be of type "number"
	for i=1, numRooms do
		generateRoom()
	end
end

function module.ClearRooms()
	prevRoom = workspace.StartPoint -- Reset startpoint
	GeneratedRooms:ClearAllChildren() -- Remove all rooms
end


return module

also may I know what a path is?
sorry I’m not used to module scripts

[ifkpop]

Path is the location of the ModuleScript, just like how you find your StartPoint.

If you name the ModuleScript “RoomManager”, and put it under “ServerStorage”, then in the script you would access the modulescript using:

local RoomManager = require(game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("RoomManager"))

The “<” and “>” I wrote earlier is not actually in the path, it is just stuff added to show that what is written is just an explanation placeholder, and that the entire text (including the arrows) should be replaced with what is described.

[IStoleWafflesId2]

I have made the changes it should look liek this right?

local RoomManager = require(script.ModuleScript) -- Replace with path to the above modulescript

local restartEvent =  -- Create a BindableEvent which is triggered whenever you want the rooms to reset.

function restart()
	RoomManager.ClearRooms()
	RoomManager.GenerateRooms(10)
end


restart() -- Instantly populate

restartEvent.Event:Connect(restart) -- Restart whenever the event is triggered
type or paste code here

[IStoleWafflesId2]

ignore the event its not finished

[ifkpop]

Yes, it looks right so far! Also, I would recommend having Scripts located inside ServerScriptStorage instead of Workspace.

I have updated it
