Hello! I have this game. I want it to show the match winners. Example: like Epic Minigames:

How I want it to work?

Here is my script:

local status = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Status")

local function loop()

	wait(1)
	status.Value = "Intermission: 14"
	wait(1)
	status.Value = "Intermission: 13"
	wait(1)
	status.Value = "Intermission: 12"
	wait(1)
	status.Value = "Intermission: 11"
	wait(1)
	status.Value = "Intermission: 10"

	end 
	local pickedMap = maps[math.random(1, #maps)]

		end

	return cleanup(XP, lander)
	
end

while true do loop() end

I know, this is a very long script lol.

I have this map. When the time is up, If there is a/are player(s) on the lander (the thing that the players will land on when the map disappears), then status.Value will show the name(s) of the winner(s). It would be very appreciating if you know how to do something like this.

If you have a list of winners ready, you can do something like this:

local plrtable = {"username1", "username2", "username3"}
status.Value = "Winners: "
for i, plr in ipairs(plrtable) do
	if i == #plrtable then
		status.Value ..= plr --end example: Winners: username3
	else
		status.Value ..= plr .. ", " --end example: Winners: username1, 
	end
end
print(status.Value) --expected output: Winners: username1, username2, username3

Alternatively, you could also do this using table.concat:

string.format("Winner(s): %s", table.concat(winnersTable, ", "))

Assuming winnersTable is an array containing strings which represent the players’ names.

Your coding style is very messy, for your intermission, you should use a loop such as,

for x = 1,16 do
    if x < 16 then
        status.Value = ("Intermission: " .. x)
    else
        status.Value = "Loading Map..."
    end
end

Now for the winners,

local winners

table.insert(winners, playerName)

when the game is finished

status.Value = "Winners "
for _, player in ipairs(winners) do
	status.Value ..= player
end```

This is not done correctly.
It should be written like this:

status.Value = "Winners "
for _, player in ipairs(winners) do
	status.Value ..= player .. ", "
end

You could also simplify your countdowns to something like this:

local countdown = 60
status.Value = "60"
while wait(1) and countdown >= 0 do
	status.Value = tostring(countdown)
	countdown -= 1
end

And, for the intermission:

local countdown = 10
status.Value = "10"
while wait(1) and countdown >= 0 do
	status.Value = "Game will start in " .. tostring(countdown)
	countdown -= 1
end

Ok, I’ll try each when I get the time. Thank you.
