How can I make a intermission script?

I am making a minigame style type game and I want to make an intermission script. How would I do it so it has a countdown and then it TPs the player?

Thanks, Oli. :upside_down_face:

For the countdown just do:

local CountdownTime = 10 --Intermission time

repeat
CountdownTime  -= 1
--Make CountdownTime update to clients (gui, surfacegui etc)
until CountdownTime  == 0

For teleporting loop through the players:

for _,plr in pairs (game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new() --Choose this position
end
--Do the round

I will make a GUI tomorrow, then can you help me to put the script in what thing and where. :smile:

The script looks like this put together:

local CountdownTime = 10 --Intermission time
local remoteEvent = remoteeventlocationhere

repeat
CountdownTime  -= 1
remoteEvent:FireAllClients(CountDownTime)
until CountdownTime  == 0

for _,plr in pairs (game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new() --Choose this position
end

Put the script in ServerScriptService, for the gui make a localscript in StarterGui and make it this:

local remoteEvent = remoteeventlocationhere

remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(CountdownNumber)
--Make CountdownNumber as text in a textlabel
end)

function update(ttime)
 game.ReplicatedStorage.updateTime:FireAllClients(ttime - os.time())
end

local ntime = 60 -- in seconds

 local ttime = os.time() + ntime
 repeat wait() update(ttime) until os.time() >= ttime
 for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
  local ch = v.Character
  repeat wait() until ch ~= nil
  local root = ch:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
  root.Position = Vector3.new(0,0,0)-- position to teleport to
end

The way I do it is to create an infinite loop that invokes 3 functions, intermission(), gamemode() and reset()
intermission()
all it does is doing the countdown and waiting for the minimum players
gamemode()
selects a gamemode/minigame and plays it
reset()
resets the map to start a new round

and for the timer I just put a string value in the workspace and name whatever I want to display messages like ā€œIntermission: 30ā€ or ā€œRound has ended!ā€ by just changing itā€™s value, and then reading it on the client

If you want to make multiple intermission type scripts and not only a single one, use this module and then put it in serverstorage. Hereā€™s what you do.

Module

local IntermissionModule = {}

function IntermissionModule.Set(num1, num2, inc, pre)
for i = num1, num2, -inc do
wait(1)
return pre .. ": ".. i
     end

end


return IntermissionModule

Script

local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local IntermissionModule = require(SeverStorage:WaitForChild("IntermissionModule")

local IntermissionTimeFrame = Intermission.set(30, 1, 1, "Intermission")

while true do
wait(1)
print(IntermissionTimeFrame)
end

EDIT: please correct me if Iā€™m wrong, havenā€™t been playing with modules in a while

If you would like a more advanced version of the module, I can share it to you.

Remember to make a remote event in replicated storage.

#13

local remoteEvent = remoteeventlocationhere is underlined orange, whatā€™s wrong?

#14

ā€œremoteeventlocationhereā€ is just a placeholder you must make your own remote event and add the instance there. Example: local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.remoteeventname

#15

instance? im not familiar with scripting terms.

#16

Check this page out on remote events/functions Custom Events and Callbacks | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub PS: Youā€™d be using server to clients

#17

itā€™s not working.

That script right now does nothing as the part of the gui and selecting a position to teleport is left for you to code. You could add a print() somewhere in the script so you can see it works.

May I suggest this video.

It seems like this is what youā€™re going for.
