I have just finished most of my Death screen sequence script and as it have some animations for when the player respawns, I wanted it to have custom animations for when the player die too much too quickly
how would I go to make a script count how much times a player died in, let’s say, 5 minutes?
I thought in making it set to 0 every 5 minutes but I noticed it would be pretty ineffective, as you can die right at the last second of the 5 minutes and it reset instantly
or I can make a function that add 1 to a death count, use task.wait to wait for the 5 minutes then decrease by 1, but i think it would also be pretty unoptimized
Hello, I made a script to detect how many time a player died in a time window.
Try this:
local deaths = {}
-- Function to track player deaths
local function trackDeath()
table.insert(deaths, os.time()) -- Store current timestamp
end
-- Function to clean up old timestamps
local function cleanupDeaths()
local currentTime = os.time()
for i = #deaths, 1, -1 do
if currentTime - deaths[i] > 300 then -- Checks if the timestamp is older than 5 minutes which is 300 seconds.
table.remove(deaths, i)
end
end
end
-- Functtion to get number of deaths in the last 5 minutes
local function getDeathsInLastFiveMinutes()
cleanupDeaths()
return #deaths
end
-- Example
trackDeath()
-- Example of getting the number of deaths in the last 5 minutes
local deathsInLastFiveMinutes = getDeathsInLastFiveMinutes()
print("Deaths in the last 5 minutes: " .. deathsInLastFiveMinutes)
alright, I’m gonna test it later, but by just reading it right now it does seem like it works, just gonna do some modifications so it is usable server-sided but I can do it myself, when I test it I will tell how it goes
yup! its working, i made some modifications and this is how it turned out
local module = {}
local deaths = {}
function module.trackPlayer(Player : Player)
deaths[Player] = {}
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char :Model)
print("starting the tracking of "..Player.Name)
local human : Humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
human.Died:Connect(function()
module.trackDeath(Player)
print(module.getDeathsInLastFiveMinutes(Player))
end)
end)
end
-- Function to track player deaths
function module.trackDeath(plr : Player)
table.insert(deaths[plr], os.time()) -- Store current timestamp
end
-- Function to clean up old timestamps
function module.cleanupDeaths()
local currentTime = os.time()
for i,v in pairs(deaths) do
for index,times in pairs(v) do
if currentTime - times > 300 then
table.remove(deaths[i], index)
end
end
end
end
-- Functtion to get number of deaths in the last 5 minutes
function module.getDeathsInLastFiveMinutes(targetPlayer : Player)
module.cleanupDeaths()
return #deaths[targetPlayer]
end
return module
