You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
I want to create a start page with Play button to join the main While loop for buttle royale, etc.
I have created a simple battle royale template with an infinite while loop in which
players stay in the lobby for certain time then teleport to the main field automatically until the match end.
I don’t want to teleport the players unless they press Play button in the lobby,
which would be a typical system among professional games.
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
I don’t know what is the best way to achieve this.
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I checked many YouTube videos but most of them just make the frame invisible on the main field and they don’t use the lobby system.
After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
-- This is an example Lua code block
Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.
I would suggest teleport them if their button is not visible, if the button is visible, that means they didn’t pressed the Play button. Or do in local script -
Hello, I tried your scripts, but the main while loop still start although I don’t press Play button.
I put the following code(game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false) outside and inside of the main while loop in Game Manager server script.
where should I put this line in the server script?
Or do I need to make a new server script for that?
By the way, my scripts for battle royale are basically just from Roblox website.
That is, there is Game Manger script in Server Script Service, while module scripts are in Server Storage.
Now I am customizing them.
Thank you for the info.
I am setting number of the minimum player for the main loop is 1.
And I changed the CharacteAutoLoads property for Players to false,
but the Starting screen is not shown even though BGM can be listened.
Thank u for ur cooperation.
Here is the script of Game Manager.
Now I moved the menu GUI and the local script to ReplicatedFirst.
-- Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local menuGui = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst").MenuGui
--menuGui.Enalbed = true
--menuGui.MainFrame.Visible = true
-- Variables
-- Module Scripts
local moduleScripts = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("ModuleScripts")
local matchManager = require(moduleScripts:WaitForChild("MatchManager"))
local gameSettings = require(moduleScripts:WaitForChild("GameSettings"))
local displayManager = require(moduleScripts:WaitForChild("DisplayManager"))
local EnemyManager = require(moduleScripts:WaitForChild("EnemyManager"))
-- Events
local events = ServerStorage:WaitForChild(("Events"))
local matchEnd = events:WaitForChild("MatchEnd")
local matchStart = events:WaitForChild("MatchStart")
--game.Players.CharacterAutoLoads = false
-- Main game loop
while menuGui.Enabled == false do
--displayManager.updateStatus("Waiting for Players")
repeat
--print("Starting intermission")
wait(gameSettings.intermissionDuration)
until Players.NumPlayers >= gameSettings.minimumPlayers
displayManager.updateStatus("Get ready!")
wait(gameSettings.transitionTime)
matchManager.prepareGame()
-- Placeholder wait for the length of the game.
wait(5)
print("MatchDuration")
EnemyManager.enemySpawn()
local endState = matchEnd.Event:Wait()
local endStatus = matchManager.getEndStatus(endState)
displayManager.updateStatus(endStatus)
matchManager.cleanupMatch()
wait(gameSettings.transitionTime)
matchManager.resetMatch()
end
And this is the local script for the menu GUI.
I can listen the music, but I cannot see the GUI.
local menuGui = script.Parent
local mainFrame = menuGui.MainFrame
local playButton = mainFrame.PlayButton
local SoundService = game:GetService("SoundService")
local natureWorld7 = SoundService:WaitForChild("NatureWorld7")
local clickSound = SoundService:WaitForChild("ClickSound")
if menuGui.Enabled == true then
natureWorld7:Play()
end
playButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
natureWorld7:Stop()
clickSound:Play()
game.Players.LocalPlayer:LoadCharacter()
menuGui.Enabled = false
end)
Now in my scripts, I don’t set the frame and the button to be shown by scripting
but I just set Visible for them on the properties.
Also, I set the menu GUI “Enabled” on the property.
This is MatchManager module script introduced on Roblox Education pages.
prepareGame() function is one of the functions defined here.

This is the start screen I want to display at the beginning of the game
and the right side is the folder structure.
(I temporally move the menuGUI to StarterGui from ReplicatedFirst).
