How to keep a round going if that "one" player is still alive?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Hello, Everyone. This is my first project after 2 years of being inactive in ROBLOX. I’m trying to make a zombie-shooting type game and is still learning to code(Basic).

function System:StartWave() is where I am putting the code. I wanna make it so that if “one” player is still alive in that round and other players are in the lobby, the round will keep going and will teleport the players from the lobby to the round(Once all enemies/zombies are dead, though I already made that script).

I am also having problem with the indicator, if all the players have died and was sent back to the lobby, the round would reset.

I accept any kinds of help and tips, criticizing also. And Thank you.

where is the code that ends the round?? unless i am blind

#3

The round goes endlessly. I apologize for not including that.

#4

not sure what is going on here, is this the entire script?

#5

Yes but, here’s a separate script that ends the round if all the enemies/zombies has been killed. Maybe this can also help

Zombies.ChildRemoved:Connect(function()
	SystemModule:Count()
	
	if #Zombies:GetChildren() == 0 then
		roundValue.Value = roundValue.Value +1
		print("Round End")
		SystemModule:Countdown(15, false, true)
	end
	
end)
#6

but what about checking if the players in the round are still alive or not?

#7

You can check for player characters with iterating through Players:GetPlayers()

local CharacterTable = {}

for _index, value in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if value.Character then
        local Character = value.Character
        table.insert(CharacterTable, Character)
    end
end

if #CharacterTable <= 0 then
    --finish the round
end

If it is a bit complex to understand:

value is basically the player
_index is basically index of the loop
value.Character is a property of Player instance
#CharacterTable is used to get the lenght of the table/array
table.insert(t: table, v: value) is a function of table library to insert new value to table

I have a boolvalue that sets if the player is in the lobby, if it’s false it means the player is in the round or in the map. If it’s true the player is in the lobby

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(pl)
	local indicatorValue = Instance.new("BoolValue")
	indicatorValue.Name = "InLobby"
	indicatorValue.Parent = pl
	indicatorValue.Value = true
	
	pl.Character.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) -- Not working yet, gives an error
		local hum = char.Humanoid
		
		hum.Died:Connect(function()
			indicatorValue.Value = true
			print("Player Died ", indicatorValue.Value) --Test
		end)
		
	end)
end)

I’m still confused on using tables, hehe. I’ll to use this

#10

tables are to store multiple variables inside of a variable, think of it as a normal table with lots of food

#11

Tables are basically clusters in the math class.

{} - This is a table and anything inside it seperated with comma will be values.

If you use print for table below you can use:

table["stringKeyForIndex]

local table = {
   ["stringKeyForIndex] = "Hello World!"
}

I really recommend you to learn about tables because you can use them everywhere.
Im also confused about metatables, these are tables’ tables. You don’t have to know it. It is a high grade info.
