Help with teleporting team members one after one

Hello developers! Me and my friend are currently trying to set up a mini-game in our game. The intention is to have a player (On the specified team) get teleported into the course solo and complete the course earning that team a single point. Upon earning a point the player will then be teleported out of the course and another player will teleport in his place and that’s how the cycle is.

We want the system to teleport a new player to not repeat any of the same players until they all have tried once, where it will go from the start again assuming no one has won. When me and my friend try it out it either teleports no one after his attempt or it teleports a 100% random player (Meaning lot’s of repeats by the same players). This is the code we’re going with for the moment but it’s not working the way we want and we are both stumped after trying to find a solution for a while. Any help is appreciated! :grinning:

local TeamKalabaw = {}
                
                for i, v in next, game.Teams.Kalabaw:GetPlayers() do
                    table.insert(TeamKalabaw, v)
                end
              
                if KalabawPoints == 10 then
                    --Team win label
                elseif count > #TeamKalabaw then
                    count = 1
                    TeamKalabaw[count].Character:MoveTo(ToStart.Position)
                else  
                    TeamKalabaw[count].Character:MoveTo(ToStart.Position)
                    count = count + 1
                end

Instead of adding players into a table before checking if you need to teleport them, why not loop through the players once you need to teleport them?

You can loop through game.Players:GetPlayers(), checking if they are on a team, and if they are you can teleport them.

Although if you are moving real players, do not use the MoveTo function, just change the HRP position.

We are only looking to teleport players on a specific team in order and one after another once they finish the course. There are multiple teams in the game and only players from that specific team are the ones we need.

My previous post describes what you need. I don’t see the issue…

Also, are you teleporting each player as the player finishes or all once the whole team finishes?

We don’t need to cycle through all players using game.Players:GetPlayers() we need to cycle through a specific team (Kalabaw) which we used game.Teams.Kalabaw:GetPlayers() in a for loop for. The problem is getting the next player to teleport properly. (Example: If I start, it will teleport me again after completing, and then after a second time it will teleport my friend)

Teleporting as the player finishes yes. Let’s say the team has 10 players. 1 player will be teleported into the course and upon completing it he will be teleported out and another player will be teleported in. The game will let all 10 individual players compete once.

Okay we feel stupid now. The problem was just caused by “count = count + 1” being under the “TeamKalabaw[count].Character:MoveTo(ToStart.Position)”. We tried it out now and everything works like we intended! Remember to have lines in correct descending order!!
